On Thursday, September 24 at 5 PM, join us at the Orange Lodge in Joe Batt's Arm for a talk by artist Mathilda Munsch.
Mathilda Munsch lives and works in Paris, where she recently graduated from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris.
Munsch's work spans drawing, installation, assemblage, writing, and found materials. Her practice often begins with fragments: discarded objects, scraps, stains, shadows, and materials encountered in everyday life. Through making, these things can shift into a landscape, a body, an imagined space, or simply a form that seems to have acquired a life of its own.
She is interested in the ways materials can transform and behave - things that sag, leak, stretch, harden, accumulate, become transparent, or unexpectedly beautiful. Across different mediums, she follows connections between images, materials, gestures, accidents, and memories, allowing works to move between the two-dimensional and the spatial. Her approach develops through thinking with materials: letting images emerge, allowing accidents to become propositions, and giving forms time to develop before deciding exactly what they are.
The talk will focus on recent work, including her 2026 diploma installation, "preserve and pickle your limbs until they'll emerge from their gelatinous lethargy…"
The next day, on September 25, between 10 AM and 8 PM, Munsch will host an open studio at the Long Studio.
