Lucien Durey (born 1984) is multidisciplinary artist, writer, and singer based in Vancouver, Canada. [1] Durey has been collaborating with queer artist Katie Kozak, who is of Metis and Ukrainian descent, since 2012. [2]
Durey's practice focuses on mixed media and performance-based works, and he engages with objects, photographs, sounds, and places that are found. [1] In the exhibition, Aporia (Notes to a Medium) at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Durey and Kozak collaborated on an installation titled Covers, a series of bedsheets that were hand-dyed and marked. Then they hung in a series to become “reminiscent of a rainbowed celestial sky.” [3] CBC host Margaret Gallagher conducted a radio interview with the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery's head curator as part of Gallaghers North by Northwest show, where they discuss Durey and Kozak's Covers in more detail. [4]
Other collaborative works created with Kozak include Endless Summer at the Gordon Smith Gallery of Canadian Art, Candelabra at the Sointula Art Shed's Window Gallery, and Baba’s House at the Dunlop Art Gallery. [5] [6] [7]
