BIO : Coral Short

Coral Short est une artiste prolifique en performance, son et vidéo. Humour, fantaisie et transformation sont des composantes intégrales de sa pratique. Son travail comble le fossé entre le nightlife et les beaux-arts, en mobilisant l'imaginaire collectif de ces communautésENTITÉS?. Son travail contribue à cartographier le pouvoir et l'identité de la nouvelle génération queer. Elle réside actuellement à Montréal et New York.          

Coral Short was born on a beautiful island off the west coast of Canada and was raised by a river in the countryside where their eccentric family lived off the land.  Coral has lived and created art in Asia, North America, and Europe for the last 20 years. Through their art they remind you that magic exists all around us on a continual basis, and that in fact, we are already a part of its infrastructure.  Their work attempts to evoke joy and wonderment - states we may have forgotten in our lives. Their art practice is about celebrating and maximizing queerness. Often pushing camp to the extreme, they use humour as a playful entry point into radical politics.
