Julie Lequin is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice combines installation, video, drawing, sculpture, performance, publishing, and photo-novels. Through a DIY aesthetic that blends humor, autofiction, and character-making, she transforms ordinary situations into narrative devices where visual culture, labor, pedagogy, domestic life and forms of social representation intersect.
For more than twenty years, her work has been presented across Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia in contexts ranging from artist-run centers to international biennials, including the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, White Columns in New York, the Incheon Biennale in South Korea, as well as Optica, Centre Clark and DARE-DARE in Montreal. Her projects and publications have also been featured in The New Yorker, Le Devoir, Canadian Art, C Magazine and The Younger Than Jesus Artist Directory published by the New Museum.
She holds an MFA from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California and a BFA from Concordia University in Montreal. She has been an artist-in-residence at Yaddo, MacDowell, Art Omi, the Nordiska Akvarellmuseet and the Studio du Québec in Mexico City.
Her recent research focuses on photo-novels, performative fiction, and forms of cultural mediation. In 2026, she presented Perdre la tête / Blow My Mind, an exhibition-residency with Adrian Norvid at Stewart Hall in Pointe-Claire, curated by Johanne Sloan.
