1 Grier Edmundson se penche sur les récits conceptuels et formels

 GRIER EDMUNDSON
Grier Edmundson se penche sur les récits conceptuels et formels du médium de la peinture et sur
l'historiographie occidentale du Modernisme, et examine les parallèles et les répétitions, les chevauchements et
les divergences au sein de ces deux histoires. Ces recherches se présentent souvent sous forme installative qui
agissent en tant que modèle d'exposition. Grier Edmundson détient un Baccalauréat en beaux-arts du Maryland
Institute College of Art (2001) et une Maîtrise en beaux-arts de la Glasgow School of Art (2007). Récemment,
ses oeuvres ont été exposées à la Koppe Astner Galerry (Glasgow), à la Fourteen30 Contemporary (Portland),
au Centre Clark et à la galerie Power House (Memphis). Il vit et travaille à Montréal.

GRIER EDMUNDSON
Grier Edmundson develops bodies of work that explore the conceptual and formal histories of the medium of
painting and the Western historical narrative of Modernism, examining the parallels and moments of repetition,
overlap and divergences within these two histories. This investigation has over the years taken the shape of the
installation as a model for exhibition. Edmundson holds a B.A. in Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of
Art (2001) and an MA in Fine Arts from the Glasgow School of Art (2007). He has had solo exhibitions at Koppe
Astner Gallery (Glasgow), Fourteen30 Contemporary (Portland), Centre Clark (Montreal) and Power House
(Memphis). His work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions including the 2011 Quebec Triennial The
Work Ahead of Us (Montreal), I’m Not Here: An Exhibition without Francis Alÿs at the de Appel Arts Centre
(Amsterdam), and Samedi, Samedi at Galerie Art Concept (Paris). He lives and works in Montreal.
