As the first comprehensive publication on the artist's work, this book elucidates the multi-facetted explorations of Haitian Canadian artist Manuel Mathieu. The publication focuses on how Haiti has informed a large body of work produced by Mathieu over the past few years. Positioned at the fault lines of modern political and environmental crises, Haiti epitomizes a global longing for freedom, and grassroots resistance to imperialist and capitalist exploits. At the center of this body of work is an examination of the long-lasting repercussions of Haiti's pioneering revolt against slavery and its quest for self-determination, which have led in more recent decades to embroiling the nation in the intrigues of the Cold War.Manuel Mathieu (born in Port-au-Prince, 1986) lives and works in Montreal. Mathieu was an artist in residence at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart (2019-20), and the Pamela Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida residency program, Sonoma CA (2019). Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (2020), HDM Gallery, Beijing (2019), The Armory Show, New York (2018), Tiwani Contemporary, London (2017), and Institute of Contemporary Art, London (2015). He has participated in numerous group exhibitions held in Canada, the United States and Europe, including Fondation Phi, Montreal (2020), Pérez Art Museum Miami (2019), Frieze London (2018), Art Basel (2017), and Grand Palais, Paris (2014).
