Raymond Boisjoly (born in 1981), is an Aboriginal artist of Haida and Québécois origin based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
[1] His practice combines technological processes together with discourse focused on cultural propriety, satire, and poetic texts of mystifying origins.
Boisjoly was invited to visit on a self-directed fellowship by curator Kitty Scott at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta.
Scott gave him some very important advice and questions during a studio visit, which led Boisjoly to create the iconic work named Makeshift (2010–12) at an early stage in his career.
[4] Raymond Boisjoly has exhibited his art at: Les Ateliers de Rennes (2018),[5] the Vancouver Art Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia (2016; 2012–14); The Power Plant in Toronto, Ontario (2012); VOX in Montreal, Quebec (2016); Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario (2015); Platform Centre for Photographic + Digital Arts in Winnipeg, Manitoba (2014); SITE Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico (2014); Triangle France in Marseille, France (2014); Camera Austria in Vienna, Austria (2014); and Biennale de Montréal in Montreal, Quebec (2014).
