Artist

Abigail DeVille

Through bricolage, painting, and sculpture, Abigail DeVille cobbles together a visual mass that speaks to the material culture of the present moment. She experiments using found and inherited domestic objects in order to make a connection to the universe. W.E.B. Du Bois’ concept of double-consciousness is the conceptual frame DeVille uses to deconstruct two spatial relationships: the claustrophobic space of the urban environment violently clashing with the infinite expanse of the universe. Black holes are an integral metaphor. DeVille warps the time of physical objects. Her objects speak to the physical infinite expanse of universal time and societal ills of the present moment. DeVille’s work is interested in making the visible representation of the invisible.

Abigail DeVille (born 1981, New York City) received her BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2007. She received the Camille Hanks Cosby fellowship to participate in the Skowhegan Residency Program in 2007. DeVille was a participant in the art world’s first reality television show, Artstar, which aired on Gallery HD from June 2006 – January 2009 and culminated with an exhibition at Deitch Projects (NY). She has exhibited at El Museo Del Barrio, Vogt Gallery, project spaces Recess Activities Inc., The Bronx River Art Center and Marginal Utility in Philadelphia, PA. DeVille is a 2011 MFA graduate in painting at The Yale School of Art.

2012: The Open University

Artist

Ellie Rees

Ellie Rees produces performance-based videos that use humor and irony to investigate what it means to be a woman in contemporary society. She concentrates on exaggerated portrayals of women in cinema and literature; particularly the inconsistency between liberated female roles and romantic views depicted in high and popular culture. The works are meticulously rehearsed, with a keen regard for formal considerations. Her aim is not to make documentation of a live event, but a precise performance to camera. Her work is often made using an uninterrupted ‘one-take’ method. She is interested in relying on rehearsal and practice, rather than technology and postproduction. In her most recent work, she uses found footage alongside the performance-based pieces, creating large scale, multi-channel installations.

Rees lives and works in London. She graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and Winchester School of Art. She is a lecturer at various colleges in the UK, including Central Saint Martins. She has exhibited internationally, including at Tate Modern, London; El Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Caracas; and The Neuberger Museum of Art, New York. She has been the recipient of various awards and fellowships from the Arts Council England, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and the Jerwood Foundation. Her work has been commissioned by English National Opera and the Almeida Theatre and she has held residencies in Europe and the USA. Her academic research has been published in the UK.

2012: Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec

Artist

Jean-Michel Ross

Jean-Michel Ross’s curatorial practice questions the spatial relationship and interaction between objects and subjects. He creates different contexts through fiction and narration to build dialogue with artists and interact with their works. His projects often reflect upon hierarchy, freedom, universality, neutrality, equivalence and value. He believes that both conceptual esthetics and formal esthetics are equally fundamental to curatorial research. For him curating is and will always be a collaborative effort. Recently he has started to question the issues and empirical impossibilities raised by the democratic ideal, linking this political theory to the art field and to his curatorial and editorial practice.

Jean-Michel Ross is a Montreal based curator, critic, writer and collector. He completed an art history degree at Université du Québec à Montreal in 2004. He was assistant editor of Espace Sculpture Magazine for six years where he directed several thematic issues. His writings on contemporary art have been published regularly in Espace and C Magazine. In 2010 he curated the exhibition and residency project La Colonie, Deschambault-Grondine, Canada. In recent years he has also acted as co-curator for projects such as The Waterpod Project in 2009, New York; Québec Gold in 2008, Reims, France; and Jumelages in 2007, Montreal, Canada.  He is the founder of Free Pass and has been on the board of Optica Gallery in Montreal since 2004.
