Sophie Castonguay creates situations using the voice of the artist as an outside voice for the piece. Using narrative modes she attempts to create interference in the reception of the work and forces the spectator to question their position. Her work has been shown in Europe (Paris, Cologne, Basel), in Quebec (L’œil de Poisson, Axe Néo-7, La Centrale, Dare-Dare, Dazibao) and in Toronto (Fado). She holds a master’s degree in creation from UQÀM’s École des arts visuels et médiatiques (2007). www.sophiecastonguay.ca
