Meet the Céline Bureau Curatorial Residents
|
We are happy to introduce the residents for the Céline Bureau x Art Volt Curatorial Residency.
Isabelle Mae-Yen Bredt and Luigi Iagulli are artists and curators based in Montreal. Their joint practice functions like a perpetual rehearsal, using provocation, rules, scripting, and staging to manipulate expectation and perception. They frequently collaborate on film-based projects and have presented work together at Maison de la culture Janine-Sutto as part of the MOMENTA Biennale, as well as at Dazibao and Festival Regard.
