Larissa Fassler in conversation with Nicole Burisch

Join us for a conversation around the conclusion of the research residency of Berlin-based artist Larissa Fassler. Since September, Fassler has been conducting on-site research, worked in Concordia’s archives, and explored Montréal as she developed a new drawing that maps the university’s architecture alongside the city’s student and political movements.

This drawing will be paired with another based on Freie Univerität Berlin under the title Bodies of Knowledge: The Architecture of Dissent and will be shown together at the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery in the summer of 2027.

How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.

Have questions or if we can make this event more accessible for you: Contact us at info.4@concordia.ca

Larissa Fassler

Larissa Fassler (b. 1975, Vancouver) is a Berlin-based artist whose drawings, paintings, and sculptures map the emotional, political, and physical contours of urban life. Trained at Concordia University (BFA) and Goldsmiths, University of London (MFA), she walks and measures sites using her own body before translating fieldwork, overheard conversations and signage, and archival research into dense hand-drawn compositions that expose how power and memory shape public space. Solo exhibitions include the Musée d’Orsay (Paris); Kunsthalle Lingen (Germany); the Currier Museum of Art (Manchester, New Hampshire); the Esker Foundation (Calgary); and the Canadian Cultural Centre (Paris). Group shows include the Chicago Architecture Biennial and the São Paulo Architecture Biennial. Her work is held in the National Gallery of Canada, the Berlin State Museum, FRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA, and the Deutsche Bank Collection. Featured in Artforum, Frieze, Canadian Art, and The New York Times; monograph published by DISTANZ (2022). Represented by Galerie Poggi, Paris.
