Steve Giasson is a conceptual artist. His engaged and deadpan practice draws on pre-existing works, historical or everyday fragments, which he appropriates in various ways, in order to shake up romantic notions of authenticity and originality. In addition, his works are characterized by a great economy of means and by their use of various mediums (conceptual writing, performance, sculptural micro-intervention, photography, video). He is currently pursuing a doctorate in research-creation (UQAM). His work has been presented in fourteen countries throughout North America, Europe and Asia, as part of a dozen personal exhibitions and many group exhibitions. He lives and works in Montreal and is represented by Edmund Felson Gallery (Berlin). Steve Giasson as Others/Steve Giasson comme les autres will be presented at Carleton University Art Gallery, from January 30 to May 8, 2022 (curator: Jean-Michel Quirion).
