Sophie Castonguay

International grant residency CALQ (Québec) and Barcelona (2012)

Sophie Castonguay, Montreal (Québec) 1974

Period of residency: May – June 2012

Sophie Castonguay studies the subjectivation of gazes and cultural conditioning. She creates devices using the voice of the artist as an outside voice for the piece. Using narrative modes she attempts to create interference in the reception of the work and forces the spectator to question their position. Her work has been shown in Europe (Paris, Cologne, Basel) and in Quebec (L’œil de Poisson, Axe Néo-7, La Centrale, Dare-Dare, Dazibao). She holds a master’s degree in creation from UQÀM’s École des arts visuels et médiatiques (2007). She’s teacher at the University of Québec at Montréal.
