Ève K. Tremblay
Resident Artist at (Re)Create in Summer 2014
At the heart of my multidisciplinary practice lies photography, an anchor point around which I weave fragmented and staged narratives. My work unfolds through various mediums: photographic tableaux, videos, sculptures, ceramics, porcelains, drawings, paintings, and collages. These creations converge to form meditative spaces, designed to offer an alternative perspective on our world.
Born in 1972, Ève K. Tremblay grew up (en français) between Val-David and Montreal in Quebec. After studying French literature at the University of Montreal, she attended The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theater, worked in the film industry as a still photographer and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts with a photography major from Concordia University in Montreal in 2000 with a best Overall achievement award. The influence of literature, theater and cinema remain very present in her photographic and interdisciplinary works mixed with the exploration of science and consciousness.
She was recipient of many grants such as from CAC and CALQ and was Long listed for the Sobeys Art Award (Quebec, 2012). She lived many years between Montreal, Berlin, NYC and has participated in numerous artists residencies. Her works have been widely published namely in The New York Times, Art Forum Critic picks, Ciel Variable, Border Crossings, C-Magazine, Canadian Art Magazine, Kunstforum, Le Devoir, etc. Her works have been exhibited at the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec, the Bergen Kunsthall, the Kunstraum Kreuzberg, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Montreal, the Prague Biennial, The Nordic Biennale, MAC LAU, MAC/VAL, Petach Tikva Museum of Art, UWAG, SAAG, Owens Art Gallery,, amongst others. Her works can be found in public collections such at Le Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, and Le Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, à Québec. She won a New York State council on the Arts Award for 2023 (with the Strand Center for the Arts in Plattsburgh as fiscal sponsor) where she will open a solo Oct 14th 2023.
