BIOGRAPHY

Recipient of multiple distinctions, Julie Robert is pursuing a Master’s in Sculpture and Ceramics at Concordia University under the supervision of Kelly Jazvac, supported by two merit-based scholarships. 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 Réseau Express Métropolitain 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 work has been presented at Fonderie Darling, Art Mûr, CIRCA, and Articule, and is included in public and private collections. Her practice investigates adaptation as an embodied experience, shaped by movement, constraint, and encounter. She explores the points of contact between bodies, spaces, and structures, where relationships emerge, shift, and persist over time, leaving traces that are both perceptible and tangible. Rather than representing connection, her work generates the conditions in which it is experienced.
