Immony Men is a visual artist currently based in Montreal, my practice takes the form of new medias, digital-print practices, time-based performances, and immersive environments. Labor intensity is a strong element in my art practice. I have completed a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts at Concordia University majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies within Studio Arts in 2008, and a Master’s in Fine Arts within Visual Arts from University of Windsor in 2010.
“Taking Care of Business”, a previous body of work by Immony involving the painstaking installation of post-it notes on gallery walls has shown in the following artist-run centers over the last 3 years: Khyber Center of the Arts in Halifax (Nova Scotia), Eastern Edge in St. John’s NFLD, Warren G. Flowers and the VAV Gallery in Montreal, 809 Gallery in Calgary, and Artspace in Peterborough, Ontario.
His focus is on installation and working between the lines of fact and fiction. Labor intensity is a strong element in his installation art practice. “My primary goal is to touch on everyday personal issues that viewers can relate with. My interest lies in the intimate relationships that exist in these social cycles. The separation between experiment and experience in my work is paper-thin.”
Immony is also an adjunct Research Fellow within Broken City Lab; an artist-led interdisciplinary creative research group that tactically disrupts and engages the city of Windsor through social practice. I am currently developing a series of artist residencies titled Change in Plans. The program takes the form of several different workshops and exhibitions; documenting the relationships shared between selected artist and the local community with whom they interact.
