About the residence
Impressions is an eight-week artist residency that opens the door to a visual artist from one of Montreal’s cultural communities to carry out a research-creation project by bringing a unique and original perspective to one of the Museum’s collections.
About the speakers
Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Santiago Tamayo Soler is a Montreal-based multidisciplinary artist working mainly in digital arts and performance. Tamayo Soler’s work focuses on virtual environments in which the artist proposes a critical examination of Latin American history. The places he imagines become the sites of immigrant and queer stories that give us glimpses of a radical futuristic fantasy. A recipient of the 2023 EDAA Emerging Digital Artists Award, the artist recently showed his work at the Bradley Ertaskiran Gallery in Montreal, Trinity Square Video in Toronto, and the Centre culturel canadien in Paris.
Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre is the Curator of Quebec and Canadian Contemporary Art (1945 to Today) and holds the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Chair at the MMFA. As Curator of Contemporary Art at the Musée d’art de Joliette, where she worked from 2017 to 2023, she oversaw many solo and group exhibitions featuring women artists, Indigenous artists, and artists from diverse backgrounds.
