Visual Arts

Artist Karilee Fuglem infiltrates architectural spaces with subtly visible materials in installations that are intended to be experienced physically. Imaginary Range, nearly invisible overhead, draws an audible gasp when its massive presence is finally noticed; while the discs that make up Secret Visibility hypnotically flutter in and out of sight, and in my Darling one can walk through clear threads suspended ceiling to floor, bringing intimacy to a vast space. She has exhibited and participated in projects across Canada, including solo shows at Montreal’s Darling Foundry in 2006 and Toronto’s Koffler Centre of the Arts in 2008. Her work has been collected by several museums, including the National Gallery of Canada and the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal. Originally from BC, Fuglem studied in Calgary and Toronto before moving to Montreal in 1989 for Concordia University's MFA program. She stayed because she finds the city's linguistic mix provides an ideal setting for visual art. (PF)
