About the Artist
Originally from Tiohtià:ke (Montréal), Sarah Piché holds a BFA in Art History and Studio Arts from Concordia University. She finds any excuse to be surrounded by and in collaboration with artists, whether as a curator, coordinator, writer, copy-editor, assistant, or fellow painter. Since becoming a member of the Ethnocultural Art History Research Group at Concordia University in 2020, Piché has curated several exhibitions, has published writings and has worked on designing publications. Some recent projects include curating the 2023 Foire Plural kiosk exhibiting the winners of the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Fellowship, working as a liaison for the Worlding Public Cultures Montreal 2023 conference, and speaking about student activism in the 2024 CGC Annual Conference at Carleton University.
In between projects, Piché spent 2023 blissfully painting with a Jeunes Volontaires grant in her Chabanel studio. Most recently, she has pivoted to graduate research in Communications and Media Studies at Carleton University (Ottawa, ON) to analyze visual culture and image production through a differently generative lens. Her current interests are all things incendiary, particularly the richly troubling and confessional images of wildfires within anthropocentric discourse. Parallel to her graduate research, Piché is working through incendiary themes in her art practice. She is looking forward to producing work in this area for a June 2024 group show at WestLab Gallery (New York, New York).
