Jérome Nadeau
Working simultaneously in opposition and in concert with a multitude of analog and digital tools, Jérôme Nadeau's artistic practice explores the tentacular structures of technology, exploiting its malleable and infinite potential for reconfiguration.
Exploring the links existing among a set of seemingly random structures, his recent work presents a reflection on the codes and mechanisms existing across a range of technological and biological lives. Shifting between abstraction and figuration, the material and the immaterial, the macroscopic and the microscopic, motifs echo each other and impose a narrative context suggesting a transposable and porous duality between organic and cybernetic worlds.
Born in Lévis (QC), Jérôme Nadeau lives and works in Montréal (QC). He has an MFA in photography from Concordia University (2016). His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions notably at LVH (London, UK, 2024), Eolith (2023), Fondation Grantham (2022), Galerie Nicolas Robert (2019, 2021), Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (2020), Galerie René Blouin (2018), Occurrences (Montréal, 2016), Galerie Leonard & Bina Ellen (2016), Battat Contemporary (2016), Parisian Laundry (2016), Gallery 44 (2014) and Gallery Monitor (Gothenburg, Suède, 2014). He is the recipient of the Mildred Lande and Margot Lande Fellowship in Photography (2013) and Roloff Beny Fellowship in Photography (2015). Jérôme Nadeau is also the founder and co-director of soon.tw, a publishing house and contemporary art space.
