Sibyl Montague

Sibyl Montague’s sculptural work considers how we regard, hold, and consume objects and experiences within a politics of care. Her work uses a wide range of vegetable, digital, textile and ‘poor’ material sources, disassembled commodity goods which are subjected to an intimate process of hacking, binding and remediating. A graduate of Chelsea College of Art and Design, London, Montague was recently awarded the IMMA 1000 residency at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2019) and is laureate of the Institut Francais Residency Programme at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2017). Recent presentations include SELF SOOTHERS, VISUAL, Carlow (2020); Practice curated by Alice Butler, New Spaces, Derry (2018); Saplings, Pallas Projects, Dublin, and My Fears of Tomorrow are Melting Away, Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (both 2018). Montague is co-founder and co-curator of PLASTIK international festival of artists' moving image in Dublin, and is currently artist in residence at VISUAL, Carlow.
