Biography:

Ibghy & Lemmens practice revolves around an exploration of the material, affective and sensory dimensions of experience that cannot be fully translated into signs or systems. The artists have an ongoing concern with bringing abstract ideas to materiality, particularly as they are confronted with the human body. Over the last few years, they have explored the rationale upon which economic actions are described and represented, and how the logic of economy has come to infiltrate the most intimate aspects of our lives.

Based in Montreal and Durham-Sud, Quebec, Ibghy & Lemmens have been working in collaboration since 2002. Their work has been shown at La Filature, Mulhouse, France 2013; Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Norway 2013; Centre for Contemporary Arts CCA, Glasgow 2012; Ausland, Berlin 2012; the Sharjah Biennial, UAE 2011; and the European Media Art Festival, Osnabrck, Germany 2009. Recent solo exhibitions include Id gladly surrender myself to you, body and soul, G Gallery, Toronto 2012; and Real failure needs no excuse, Monte Vista Projects, Los Angeles 2012.
