Dominique Rey (artist)

Dominique Rey is a French Canadian multidisciplinary artist whose practice delves into peripheral subjectivities, from individuals and groups of people, to performance-based works that mine the terrain of the unconscious. She is interested in examining the other within society, as well as a deep sense of being strangers to ourselves. She utilizes modes of fragmentation to explore the self within current experiences of disorientation and dislocation.

Rey is the recipient of numerous awards and grants, including from the Canada Council for the Arts, Manitoba Arts Council, Winnipeg Arts Council, Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, and La Fondation Baxter & Alma Ricard. Rey received a BFA from the University of Manitoba before pursuing two Master of Fine Arts degrees—one in Photography from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, USA and an MFA in New Media from the Transart Institute, Berlin, Germany. Her work is in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, Remai Modern, Winnipeg Art Gallery, Scotiabank, and Province of Manitoba.

Exhibitions

Rey has been exhibited in Europe and the United States, including Tabacka Art Center (Slovakia), Galleri Box (Sweden), Art Center/South Florida (USA), and across Canada in solo and group exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada, MOCCA, Remai Modern, Plug In ICA, VU Centre de diffusion et de production de la photographie, MacLaren Art Centre, Gallery TPW, Galerie de l’UQAM, Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Centre Clark, and Winnipeg Art Gallery.
