About the Item
Born in 1983, Karine Payette lives and works in Montreal. As a multidisciplinary artist, her work spans installation, photography, and video. She constructs playful, dreamlike large-scale works made from recycled and found objects. Fascinated by the instrinsic connections between identity and habitat, she reflects on the notions of comfort and conflict in our ever-changing world.
Payette’s work has been the focus of several solo exhibitions across Quebec. She has participated in more than twenty collectives in Canada and France. In 2016, her work will be shown in a solo exhibition in Germany at Art Mûr Leipzig. Since 2015, Payette has directed three projects integrating art and architecture for Montreal schools. Her work is in several private collections, as well as the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul and the Loan Collection at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.

Karine Payette
Karine Payette was born in 1983 in Montreal, Quebec, where she lives and works. Working primarily with sculpture and installation, she reproduces, for the most part, environments that address the constant adaptation of the living in a world in perpetual transformation. Her recent research focuses on the idea of inscription and imprinting of the environment on the individual by examining the relationship that humans have with other species. Since 2010, she has participated in several solo and group exhibitions. Her works are present in the collections of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Prêt d’œuvres d’art du Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul, the City of Montreal, the City of Longueuil, the City of Laval. Since 2015, she has completed nine projects integrating art into architecture for schools, libraries and parks in Quebec.

- De part et d’autreBy Karine PayetteLocated in Montreal, QuebecText by Nancy Webb It’s Saturday night and Karine Payette is in her studio. We meander into a conversation about the dog she used to have and her soft spot for German shepherds, an intensely obedient and loyal breed in a deceivingly wolf-like package. Payette’s most recent series of photographs, sculptures and video work seem to speak directly to this preoccupation with the multifaceted nature of human-animal relationships—the dialogues of control, intimacy, violence and domestication that subtly take place on an interspecies level. Her workspace is part laboratory, part prop closet—a bowl of fur sits not far from her computer. Somehow in this bright, open, chemical-clean scented room, Payette conjures wildness. We are taken to a strange place, the borderlands of interspecies mingling. At one extreme of the animal-human dynamics scale is the stalwart compliance of a professionally trained German shepherd who responds to commands with robotic precision. Here, power is comfortably held by an off-screen voice, animality pacified by a set of linguistic prompts. At the other end of the scale is a sculpture of a human figure clad in red, sharing a languorous kiss with a wolf. The story of Little Red Riding Hood is immediately called to mind, except that here our hooded protagonist seems to have bailed on grandmother’s orders, instead opting for a forest floor make-out with her canine stalker. This taboo mise-en-scène is a brazen inquiry into the boundaries we maintain with our animal counterparts. Its scale and three-dimensionality contribute to a feeling of immersion that the artist has been courting with her work for the past several years. It feels as though you’ve just walked in on something: you are implicated and your discomfort is like an invisible mist that coats these inanimate beings. Elsewhere in Payette’s suite of anthropomorphic works, the demarcation between species grows even fainter. A photographic series depicts the slow encroachment of fur, scales and feathers on human skin—a striking process of contamination facilitated by touch. The fusion of flesh, charcoal cat fur and a pale silky dress...Category
