BIOGRAPHY

Julie Robert develops a sculptural practice centered on the conditions that allow forms to hold. Her research examines the support structures that organize relationships between elements, as well as the processes of adaptation through which forms take shape.

Her work also extends into the public realm, notably through Point pivot, a commemorative sculpture unanimously selected by a jury chaired by Danièle Archambault, former Director of Collections at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and a temporary installation commissioned for the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) under Québec’s Policy for the Integration of Arts into Architecture. In 2023, her proposal Canopée, developed within the same program, was shortlisted in a public art competition before being adapted as a permanent installation for the entrance to Candiac’s linear park.

Her work has been presented at Fonderie Darling, Art Mûr, Articule, and CIRCA art actuel, and is held in public and private collections. She is an MFA candidate in Sculpture and Ceramics at Concordia University, where she is supported by two Merit Scholarships.
