Tracy Maurice is a Montréal-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans film and video, sculpture, installation, and visual art. Her work merges analog craftsmanship with digital media to explore interconnected relationships between time, memory, nature and the ephemeral. Drawing from a background in Art History, she often references early cinema and the history of science in her work.
Maurice first gained recognition as the creative director for the band Arcade Fire, designing iconic album artwork and directing video projects for the albums, Neon Bible and Funeral, including the groundbreaking interactive music video Black Mirror.
Her work has been shown internationally, including the 11th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art in collaboration with Dana Michel, Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, HAM Helsinki Art Museum, and Lincoln Center (New York). She has given talks at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design, Berklee College of Music, and HFBK University of Fine Arts, Hamburg. She taught filmmaking at the IDFA Film Academy Summer Program (UC Berkeley), and participated in artist residencies at RU (New York), SÍM (Reykjavik) and Kinosaki International Arts Center (Japan).
