BIOGRAPHY

Julie Robert is the recipient of multiple awards and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Sculpture and Ceramics at Concordia University under the supervision of Nadia Myre, supported by two merit scholarships. Her work has been exhibited at Fonderie Darling, Art Mûr, CIRCA, and Articule, and is included in numerous public and private collections. She won a public art competition commemorating Canada’s most significant railway tragedy, unanimously selected by a jury chaired by Danièle Archambault, former Director of Collections at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. She also contributed to a temporary work for the REM and was a finalist in a public art competition in Candiac, where she was commissioned to adapt her proposal for the entrance of the linear park.

Her minimalist practice in sculpture and installation explores the traces left by events and experiences on the body, as well as the transformations they induce in perception and our experience of the world. Her work integrates an informed sense of joy as a stance of resistance, enduring despite the turbulence of the world.
