Geneviève Cadieux
Geneviève Cadieux’s work tests the limits of intervention in the recording and production of photographic images. Her large-scale photographic images and installations centre on the representation of the human body and landscape. She perceives the body as a sensitive surface, able to register traces of time and suffering in the same way as photographic images record luminous wounds on emulsion.
Since the early 1980s, she has taken part in numerous group exhibitions, including the Biennale de Montréal (1985, 1986 and 2000), the São Paolo Biennale (1987), the Australian Biennale (1987, 1990) and the Venice Biennale (1990). Since then, her work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions around the world, and can be found in private and museum collections in Quebec, Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. Since 2002, Cadieux has been Associate Professor at Concordia University. Cadieux received the Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2011. She was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2014, and was granted the Prix Paul-Émile Borduas in 2018. She joined the Order of Canada in 2022. [Source: VOX, 2025]
