BIO
Canadian multidisciplinary artist Stéphanie Morissette holds a BA in Art History and Studio Arts from Concordia University in Montreal and a graduate degree (DESS) in International Artistic Cooperation from Université Paris VIII. Using drawing, video, sculpture and installation, her work borrows from storytelling, history and current events, which she adapts, transforms and marks with her stinging sense of humour.
Over the course of her career, she has participated in several international residency programs, including those at the Banff Centre, in Alberta; the Straumur Art Commune, in Iceland; the Pilotenkueche in Leipzig, Germany; and the Tapiola Guest Studio, in Finland. Her works have been exhibited in England, Belgium, Canada, China, Germany, Spain, United States, Finland, Iceland, Poland, Syria and Turkey, in important international events such as Les Rendez-Vous du Cinéma Québécois, Montreal (2018); the International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA), in Hong Kong (2016); Women Make Waves Film and Video Festival, in Taiwan (2011); and the 10th International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Istanbul (2007). In 2017, she received the Quebec Art Council (CALQ) Prize - Artwork of the Year - Estrie, for her exhibition Troubled Forest.
Stéphanie Morissette presently lives and works in Quebec's Eastern Townships. She is represented by Galerie Dominique Bouffard, in Montreal.
