Céline B. La Terreur (1977-) works and lives in Montréal.

Céline B. La Terreur holds a Master's degree in Visual and Media Arts (UQÀM, 2002) and a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts (Concordia, 1999). She is also a graduate in feminist studies (program: Women and the Fine Arts, Concordia, 1999).

Céline B. La Terreur has presented her solo work in France (Jean-François Meyer Gallery, Marseille, 2011, Art Mandat, Barjols, 2011) and in Canada (Maison de la Culture Pointe-aux-Trembles, 2019, Joyce Yahouda Gallery 2015, 2013, 2012, 2008, 2006, 2002, articule, 2009, Gallery B-312, 2001).

The video The Divine Tragedy: The Tower was presented at the Joyce Yahouda Gallery, the New York City International Film Festival, and the Cannes Film Market. In 2015, it was shown in Los Angeles in consideration for the 87th Academy Awards (Oscars).

Céline B. La Terreur's work has been featured in international events such as the Beyond the Veil project (Venice, Paris, London, Berlin, NYC, 2019-2020), F is for Feminism and the Female Form (Hyperflexion Contemporary Art, South Africa, 2019), the Oslo Screen Festival, Norway (2012) and the Magmart Video Art Festival, Naples, Italy (2012).  Her work was also shown in several cities throughout the world in group exhibitions (New York City (2014, 2012), Prague (2014), Lyon, France (2014).

Her work has also been featured in several group exhibitions and events in Canada (Journées de la Culture, 2011, Extreme Painting, Joyce Yahouda Gallery, 2010, Expansion, UQÀM Gallery, 2010, Montreal All-Nighter, 2010, 2008, International Edgy Women Festival, 2006, Montreal Underground Film Festival, 2006).

Her work was selected by curator Louise Déry for the exhibition Expansion: the 40th anniversary of the UQAM Gallery (2010), and by Nicolas Mavrikakis for the Extreme Painting event (Joyce Yahouda Gallery, 2010). 

Céline B. La Terreur contributed to the writing of the Visual Artists' Skills Dictionary, published by the Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels (RAAV), 2010. This reference tool is available in all art schools and universities in the province of Quebec. 

Céline B. La Terreur supports several feminist organizations and is a proud contributor to the ArtFem.TV project, a web television dedicated to art and feminism. ArtFem.TV was founded in Austria in 2008 by artist Evelin Stermitz. 

Céline B. La Terreur is represented by the Joyce Yahouda Gallery in Montreal.

Céline B. La Terreur is a feminist artist who is interested in social phenomena that reveals the female condition and that of victims of violence.  

With a particular focus on their political and psychological dimensions, she explores feminine aspirations and fantasies within the interconnecting framework of femininity, power, freedom and masculinity. She has also been working with several Duplessis Orphans since 2012 as part of a large-scale project documenting their stories.  

Integrating video, photography, performance, painting and sculpture, her work uses various subversive strategies, including social engagement, humor, excess, satire and irreverence.  She refers as much to early 19th century feminism as to some of its recent manifestations in contemporary culture.  

Céline B. La Terreur’s art demonstrates a keen curiosity for the diversity and richness of life. She refuses to partition her practice into a single idea or technique, and believes that there is a time for everything: a time for social action (hence her involvement with the Duplessis Orphans and her research into women's experiences), a time for aesthetic research, a time to take oneself seriously, and a time not to take oneself seriously (hence the 'Pataphysics and her band, Ze Céline B. La Terreur).

While Céline B. La Terreur’s work promotes the rights of women and the most vulnerable in society and the progressive affirmation of their identity, it is nonetheless a bittersweet commentary on a world in which women and victims of violence often still face misunderstanding, injustice and inequality.

Céline B. La Terreur is proud member of Vidéographe and sits its Board of Directors

Established in 1971 in Montréal, Vidéographe is an artist-run centre dedicated to the research and the dissemination of moving image practices. This includes experimentation in video art, animation, digital arts, documentary, essay, fiction and dance video.

In addition to examining the formal and technical developments of the moving image, Vidéographe looks at the political power of the medium. For as long as it has existed, video has been used as a tool for protest, for the assertion of identity, and for the democratization of discourse. Vidéographe places particular focus on this documentary function.

Vidéographe conserves and distributes a collection of more than 2,250 videos made by more than 800 artists and engaged citizens. Thanks to Vidéographe, these works are showcased nationally and internationally through programming and distribution at festivals, galleries, museums, colleges and universities, as well as via the Internet. This video collection is one of the most important in Canada and is undeniably part of the country’s cultural heritage. It shines light on the social and artistic issues and movements that have helped shape cultural life in Quebec and Canada since the 1970s. (Source : videographe.org)

Céline B. La Terreur has been at the helm of the experimental music and video collective ze Céline B. La Terreur since their not very bright debut at Musique Plus (Québec’s Much Music) in 2004. Since then, ze Céline B. La Terreur have gladly shared their opinions on cheap vodka brands and united their talents to produce a wide range of avant-garde delusions. They make a point of producing exceptionally little music and have become the go-to reference for desynchronized lip sync.  Genius.

The Quebec Academy of 'Pataphysics is a Literate Francophone Society, founded in 1989 by writer Line McMurray (Her Luminescence), nine years after her encounter with French playwright and 'Pataphysicist Eugene Ionesco in 1980.  This Academy brings together Quebec artists, writers, poets and thinkers. Notable among its members are the artists COZIC and Florent Veilleux, and the poet Raôul Duguay. 

The Quebec Academy of 'Pataphysics aims to perpetuate the tradition of Alfred Jarry's 'Pataphysics and is inspired by the French Collège de 'Pataphysique in Paris.  Writer Line McMurray, founder of the Quebec Academy of 'Pataphysics is also a member of the original Collège de 'Pataphysique in Paris.  Some famous 'Pataphysicians - all members of that same Collège - include Man Ray, Max Ernst, The Marx Brothers, Marcel Duchamp, Jacques Prévert, Antonin Artaud, Raymond Queneau, Boris Vian, Eugène Ionesco, Joan Miró, Umberto Eco, and Fernando Arrabal.

'Pataphhysics can be described as the Science of Imaginary Solutions.

Since 2016, Céline B. La Terreur, has acted as Her Numinescence at the Academy, hosting and organizing the Convents of the Academy, at the request of the founder, Her Luminescence.
