STUDIO _ Mimosa Echard

STUDIO PROGRAM 2025

We are excited to introduce Mimosa Echard, a current studio resident at 99 CANAL. Echard has been using STUDIO 1 to work on her first monographic book, forthcoming with Mousse.

Composed of photos that the artist has taken of her own work, the book will present a conceptual ‘behind the scenes’ account of the artist’s practice, playing with the ways in which authenticity, vulnerability and authority are constructed within documentation. The book will encompass all of the artist’s significant projects from recent years, alongside collected ephemera and texts that span poetry and critical analysis. The book will also feature an interview between Echard and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster.

Echard’s time at 99 CANAL has been spent working on the final selection and sequence of the images in her book, working closely with graphic designer Julie Peeters. She has also started research on a new body of work, centered around documenting the entropic rhythms of New York.

Echard’s practice draws on biological research, histories of experimental cinema and her own life to create works that play with the relationship between sexuality, synthesis, and perception.

Working across various media—from sculpture to installation to video games—her work is driven by ongoing and contradictory processes of absorption, accumulation and circulation, observed in phenomena as diverse as popular culture, metabolic systems or electromagnetic spectra.

Attentive to the invisible or latent potential of the materials she uses, her assemblages and installations displace the capacity of language to know its object, allowing new and ‘unnatural’ associations to proliferate.

Studio Program | 99 CANAL

The Studio Program is a one to four-month program open to emerging and mid-career artists based both within and outside New York City.

Individuals are welcomed to apply to work at 99 Canal based on their necessity for studio space and their potential impact on the neighbourhood and our community. A key feature of the studio program is its strong focus on peer-to-peer engagement, recognising the transformative power of collaboration and knowledge exchange.
