Richard Ibghy and Marilou Lemmens
Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens have developed a collaborative practice that combines a concise approach to the form and construction of the art object with a desire to make ideas visible. Spanning across multiple media, including video, performance and installation, their work explores the material, affective and sensory dimensions of experience that cannot be fully translated into signs or systems. For several years, they have examined the rationale upon which economic actions are described and represented, and how the logic of economy has come to infiltrate the most intimate aspects of life.
Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens’ work has been shown at the 14th Istanbul Biennial SALTWATER: A Theory of Thought Forms, 2015; La Biennale de Montréal, L’avenir (looking forward), 2014; 27th Images Festival, Toronto, 2014; Manif d’art 7: Quebec City Biennial, 2014; La Filature, Scène Nationale, Mulhouse, France, 2013-14; Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Norway, 2013; Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, 2012; and the 10th Sharjah Biennial, 2011. Their recent solo exhibitions were held at Leonard & Bina Ellen Gallery, Montreal, 2016; VOX, Montreal, 2014; Trinity Square Video, Toronto, 2014; La Bande Video, Quebec City, 2014; Forrest City Gallery, London, Ontario, 2013; Monte Vista Projects, Los Angeles, 2012; and G Gallery, Toronto, 2012.

Artist
Jude Griebel
Jude Griebel creates detailed figurative sculptures and drawings that visualize our entanglement with the surrounding world. In his works, landscapes, the species we affect, and the waste we create, coalesce in vivid forms that illustrate the reach of our impact and consumption habits. Both harbingers of ruin and agents of transformation, his works build on art historical traditions of the anthropomorphic body to reflect a planet in a state of crisis.
Jude Griebel has exhibited work at Massey Klein Gallery, New York; CHART, New York; and Esker Foundation, Calgary, among others.

Giorgio Andreotta Calò
Giorgio Andreotta Caló’s research developed though a process of withdrawing fragments from reality and the reappropriation of architecture, landscape and his own history. Calò comes to create works that cross boundaries between sculpture, actions and direct architectural intervention. Therefore, the artwork presented to the public is never a specially-made object or simply the result of a project, but rather a time-based process immersed in physical matter and space and given its shape by the environment with which it interacts and the energies unleashed from within it. He seeks out and pursues his visions with extreme lucidity, revealing how real and essential they are before tracing them back to everyday situations. His artworks may be interpreted as “active residues” of processes and actions that have taken place in a specific time and space.
Giorgio Andreotta Calò (born 1979 in Venice) studied sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti, Venice from 1999 to 2005 and at the KHB KunstHochSchule, Berlin, from 2003 to 2004. Since 2008 he has lived and worked in Venice and Amsterdam where he was a resident artist at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten. In 2011, his work was presented at the 54th Venice Biennale. In 2012 he won the Premio Italia for contemporary art organized by the Museum MAXXI, Rome.
