Kim Kielhofner
Recipient of the PRIM-Dazibao production-dissemination residency
Dazibao and PRIM are pleased to announce that Kim Kielhofner is the recipient of the 2022-2023 production-dissemination residency. PRIM will host Kim Kielhofner over the coming year, where she will produce a new work that will subsequently be presented at Dazibao.
Kim Kielhofner works in video, drawing, and collage. She is interested in how we understand narratives and how we place ourselves into them. Her process is based on interests in layered narrative, cinema, and literature through which she has developed an archive of images and ideas. Her work has been presented at festivals and in exhibitions in Québec and internationally, including at Sporobole, VOX, FIFA Expérimental, Kassel Dokfest, WRO Biennale, and Oberhausen International Short Film Festival. She has participated in residencies including KulturKontakt (Vienna), DAIMON (Gatineau), Aberystwyth Arts Centre (UK), The Red Mansion Foundation (Beijing), and International Studio and Curatorial Program (Brooklyn).
Dazibao thanks the artist and PRIM for their generous collaboration as well as its advisory committee for their support.
Dazibao receives financial support from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts de Montréal, the ministère de la Culture et des Communications and the Ville de Montréal.
Dazibao acknowledges that it is located on the unceded territory of the Kanien'kehá: ka Nation and that Tiohtiá:ke / Montreal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations, and today, is home to a diverse population of Indigenous as well as other peoples. Guided by ethics of respect, listening, and awareness, Dazibao commits to a continued reflection regarding the deep-rooted and systemic challenges tied to accessibility and inclusivity in the arts and beyond, and endeavors to apply such reflections to all aspects of its activities and governance.
