Artist Talk: David Altmejd

On November 5, Galerie de l’UQAM and Programme ICI are hosting David Altmejd for a presentation titled La tête enceinte. A major international contemporary artist who began his studies at UQAM’s École des arts visuels et médiatiques, Altmejd is known for his sculptures that combine science-fiction, magic, biology, and metamorphosis. He will discuss his view of art as a technology capable of giving form to the invisible, while suggesting that perhaps it is the invisible itself that seeks to be embodied through this technology. In this sense, his works are not simply finished objects, but entities in the making, in which the processes of growth, decomposition, and transformation remain perceptible.

Programme ICI is an initiative of UQAM’s École des arts visuels et médiatiques that hosts speakers from different art disciplines and countries.
