Devon Reid is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and cultural mediator whose work focuses on the notion that all of life stems from an interconnected wholeness. “We are all but fragments from this whole and each fragment carries the knowledge of what it is to be fully interconnected; each work of art, each process is thus an archaeological exploration of the intangible world and how it manifests in material form.” Her work explores the relationship between the tangible and intangible of connectedness.
Born in Montréal, Québec (1969) Devon lived and worked in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for over 15 years, mentored by artist Hanneke Somer and employed by the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague to develop a program for personal leadership in interactive media and design. She returned to Candiac, Québec in 2011 where she led the development of the cities’ first cultural policy as well as curating projects such as ‘Hist-Art’ (2017) and ‘La Vague’ (2020) bringing artists and fellow citizens together to explore the cities histories and connectedness. Devon’s artwork has been exhibited in the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Canada. Her work is held in private collections both in Europe and Canada.
