Frances Adair Mckenzie is a sculptor and animator based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, with a BFA from Concordia University. Through a rigorous studio practice and constant exploration of new technology and tools, she has expanded her research into sculpture, and digital materiality and its conceptual realms. How technology perceives and influences the way we see remains central to her thinking and practice.
Experiments with stop-motion, 3D animation, virtual reality and stereoscopy have also had an impact on Mckenzie’s sculptural work. Her digital foraging leads to questions regarding the stability of identity, production, and consumption of desire, as well as the surface tension between digital interfaces and architectural space.

Eve Tagny is a Tiohtià:ke/Montreal-based artist. Her practice considers gardens and landscapes as mutable sites of personal and collective memory, inscribed in dynamics of power, colonial histories and their legacies. Weaving lens-based mediums, installation, text and performance, she explores spiritual and embodied expressions of grief and resiliency, in correlation with nature’s rhythms, cycles and materiality.
Tagny has a BFA in Film Production from Concordia University, and a Certificate in Journalism from the Université de Montréal. In recent years, her work has been exhibited at venues including the Henry Ward Art Gallery in Seattle, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec in Quebec City, the Musée d’art contemporain in Montreal, and COOPER COLE in Toronto.
