Diane Landry

Diane Landry (born 1958)[1] is a Canadian contemporary artist.

[2][3] Landry is known for her kinetic sculptural works and performances that use light, shadow, sound and movement.

[4][5] In Landry's work École d'aviation, numerous motorized umbrellas with built-in accordions are installed so as to give the impression they are about to take off as they move.

[6][7][5] In 2007, she was awarded the inaugural Prix Giverny Capital for her contributions to Quebecois culture.

[9] In 2015, Landry was a recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship in fine arts.
