This fall promises to be an exciting one for art lovers with the opening of the Pierre Dorion and Janet Biggs exhibitions at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal.
Biggs is a Brooklyn-based artist showing her pieces as part of Montreal-Brooklyn, an art event that aims to establish a cultural exchange between the two cities. Biggs is best known for her work as a video artist, photographer and as a performance artist, where she mainly focuses on geographical and physical extremities.
While her style is akin to a documentary filmmaker, her works are more of a collage.
“I’m drawn to environments that are really otherworldly and extreme,” said Biggs. “It’s not just the environment, it’s pursuing people that not only survive, but thrive in these environments.”
