The Libby Leshgold Gallery is happy to announce Sébastien Aubin as our second online artist residency. Our program of online residencies was created to continue artistic and curatorial dialogue during an era of social distancing and travel restrictions. His residency will begin with an online talk on Tuesday, March 16, at 4pm Vancouver time.

The residency project, something not cared for, will consist of a series of site-specific installations observed at a distance, works which draw on knowledge of the people, things, land, and world around them, obtained and assembled with care.

With a Bachelors of Fine Arts (major in Graphic Design) from the University of Québec, Sébastien Aubin has worked for Kolegram, one of the most prestigious graphic design studios in Québec, and has since shaped his professional career as a freelance graphic artist. Aubin has done publications for numerous artists, organizations and art galleries in Winnipeg, Montréal and Ottawa, including Plug In ICA Close Encounters, the next 500 years, Terrance Houle, KC Adams, Carleton University Art Gallery, Thunder Bay Art Gallery, and Art Gallery of South Western Manitoba. Aubin is one of the founding members of the ITWÉ collective that is dedicated to research, creation, production and education of Aboriginal digital culture. Currently based in Montréal, QC, Sébastien Aubin is a proud member of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation in Manitoba.
