McBride Contemporain is thrilled to announce that two artworks by Michelle Bui have been acquired by the Global Affairs Canada Visual Art Collection (VAC). The VAC is responsible for managing and curating fine art at Canada’s embassies, high commissions, consulates and official residences in over 100 cities around the world. Its purpose is to exhibit and promote contemporary Canadian artists outside Canada.
Michelle Bui is a Montreal-based artist working in photography and sculpture. Her practice reflects the processes of accumulation, presentation, and eventual decay that mark our relationships to seemingly mundane items. Sensual and sensorial, her images point to the negotiation between our understanding of ourselves and the objects that we amass by causing us to question our appetite for these objects and excess in the first place.
