Artist Talk by Paulette Phillips

Paulette Phillips works primarily in film, video, performance and sculpture and is well-known internationally for her emotionally affective artwork. Often drawn to abject abandoned places Phillips documents these spaces through a materialist lens. Feminism, psychology and forensics provide strategies for sifting through these haunted sites. She recently completed a new film, The Quoddy Fold, with 2019/20 exhibitions in The Bonavista Biennale, Nfld., DOKFest, Kassel, Germany, and MSVU Gallery, Halifax.  Her work is represented through Danielle Arnaud Contemporary Art, London UK and she has exhibited her work at venues including the Tate Modern, the Pompidou Centre, Musee d’art contemporain and the National Gallery of Canada.
