Véronique Chagnon Côté is an artist and painting professor at the École des arts visuels et médiatiques at UQAM. Her painting practice explores the timeless flow of images and their role in the cultural construction of places. Adopting a feminist approach, she draws on recurring representations of spaces conceived as active archetypes in the collective imagination. Her recent research focuses on a distinct category of visual representations: the paradoxical spaces of desire.
Her work has been featured in solo and duo exhibitions at the Centre Occurrence (S’Étreindre, 2022), the FOFA Gallery, and Projet Casa (Petites Pièces, 2020), as well as at the Centre Circa, Zalucky Contemporary (Toronto), and Forest City Gallery (London, ON). She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, notably as part of Pictura Montréal, Tian Contemporain at the Cité du Design (Saint-Étienne, FR), Young Space (NY), the Foire en art actuel de Québec, Articule, and the Leonard & Bina Ellen Gallery. Chagnon Côté is the director of the Espaces spéculatifs research group at UQAM. She is currently working on a solo exhibition to be held at the B-312 Gallery (Montréal) in 2028.
