Eve Tagny (b. 1986, Montréal, Québec, Canada) weaves lens-based mediums, installation, text, and performance, to explore spiritual and embodied expressions of grief and resiliency in correlation with nature’s rhythms, cycles and materiality. Her practice considers gardens and disrupted landscapes as mutable sites of personal and collective memory — inscribed in dynamics of power, colonial histories and their legacies.
Tagny earned her BFA in Film Production from Concordia University and a Certificate in Journalism from the University of Montréal. She is included in the 2021 Momenta Biennale, and has previously exhibited at Visual Arts Centre, Clarington; Optica (forthcoming), Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, Centre Clark, Montréal; Musée du Bas- Saint-Laurent, Rivière -du-Loup (Quebec); Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, Québec; Cooper Cole, Franz Kaka, Gallery 44, Toronto; Platform, Winnipeg; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; and nGbK, Berlin among others. She is the recipient of the the 2020 Plein Sud Bursary, the 2018 Mfon grant, and has been shortlisted for the 2018 CAP Prize, the 2018 Burtynsky Photobook Grant, and the 2020 OAAG Award. Tagny lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, Québec, Canada.
