Artistic production
  • In Québec, Massimo Guerrera is the pioneer of what is termed “relational esthetics”, i.e. art in which meeting with the Other becomes not simply a subject to portray but rather a genuine material to implement. Based on the notion that we are overridingly beings shaped by our relationships, he uses food as the main metaphor to implement this idea of constant change and digestion where certain people are concerned.

  • Won the prestigious Ozias-Leduc award of the Fondation Émile-Nelligan in 2001.
  • Was a finalist for the Sobey Art Award in 2004.
