Cadine Navarro
Cadine Navarro
Period of residence: April – 2016
French-American, born and raised in Japan, and having spent her adult life living in over 55 homes inspires much of Cadine Navarro’s work as an artist, curator and teacher.
This multi-national background, coined as “TCK” or “Third Culture Kid”, gifts Cadine an understanding of language as a place to reside and border as a continuous process of being. The grammatical structures and layout of these arbitrary and invented lands continually morph through such things as dialects, idioms, expressions, accents, word structures, onomatopoeias, etc. Her archive of collected sound bites provides rhyme and rhythm to her sound and image-based work.
Currently a candidate laureate of the HISK, Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Ghent, Cadine is also a teacher of Art and Communication at the Celsa Sorbonne Paris and Neoma Business School in Rouen, France. She holds an MFA in Curating from Goldsmiths in London and a BFA in Visual Arts from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Recent exhibitions include Art Brussels, SHED Art Space, Notre-Dame-de-Bonneville and Gallery MAM, Rouen.
