Julie Lequin (born in Laval, Quebec in 1979) is a French Canadian artist. She received a BFA from Concordia University
(Montreal, PQ) in 2001 and an MFA from Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, CA) in 2005. Julie's multidisciplinary practice
interweaves personal history with fictionalized events and circumstances in a manner that constantly blurs the line between
the artist as individual and the artist as self-consciously constructed persona. Julie's first book and DVD project was published
in 2007 by 2nd Cannons Publications. In 2008, Julie was awarded a fellowship from the California Community Foundation
and residencies at Yaddo, Art Omi, and Macdowell Colony. In 2009, she exhibited at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum
in California, White Columns and Horton & Liu gallery in New York City. Julie is currently based in Quebec where
she is working towards her next solo exhibition at the Darling Foundry in Montreal.

summer on a collective musical/theatrica/mixed medium performance art project to be presented over a full weekend at the Basilica
