Born in 1969, Isabelle Hayeur lives and works in Montreal, Quebec. She obtained an MFA in Visual Arts from Université du Québec à Montréal in 2002. A media arts practitioner, she is active in digital imaging, video, Web art and site-specific installations. Her work is in essence a critical approach to the environment and urban development. Her approach is directly related to the spectacle of urban sprawl, and nurtured by discourses around environmental matters, such as the problems inherent in land use planning.
Hayeur got her start as a founding member of Perte de signal, a collective devoted to media arts creation. From 1998 to 2000, photographic works took on greater importance in her art, and she began showing her works regularly. Since then they have been widely exhibited in Canada, Europe, the United States, Latin America and Japan. Venues have included the New York Photography Festival, Brooklyn (2008), the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (2008), the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, Québec City (2007), Netwerk CCA, Alost, Belgium (2007), the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago (2007), the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge (2007), the Oakville Galleries, Ontario (2006), the Rencontres de la photographie, Arles, France (2006), the Agnes Etherington Art Center, Kingston (2005), the Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art, Toronto (2005), the Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain, Luxembourg (2005), the Neuer Berliner Kuntsverein, Berlin (2005), the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (2004) and VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine, Montreal (2004). Isabelle Hayeur has also completed several artists’ residencies abroad. In the fall of 2007, she was an artist-in-residence at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York (Canada Council for the Arts International Residency Program). She is represented by Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain of Montreal, Quebec.
