Catherine de Montreuil

CATHERINE DE MONTREUIL lives and works in Vancouver. This living and working includes art, curating, writing, and learning. Maenads is a fan fiction sequel to the 2015 play Fort Eff, written by Ingrid Olauson. Bridging de Montreuil’s sculptural and writing practices, this script serves as an outline for the potential fabrication of set and props. Making sequels, appropriations, and homages to works by her contemporaries is a tactic de Montreuil has employed in her writing practice not only in the traditional sense (gleaning material in order to expand, subvert, or twist meaning), but in order to highlight works by others that the artist feels deserve due attention.
