I'm Already an Actor

Albion Jeune is pleased to present I'm Already an Actor, an exhibition of new work by Fin Simonetti (b. 1985, Vancouver), displaying stone sculpture alongside Simonetti's first exhibition of paintings. In an uncharacteristically personal body of work, Simonetti grapples with themes of agency, cruelty, and the mechanics of anthropomorphisation.

While recovering from a serious injury, Simonetti found herself unable to make sculpture; a period the artist refers to as the 'Dark Ages'. Estranged from her body, she turned to painting in private—initially depicting sculptures that she was unable to make. Over time, a distinct body of work emerged, establishing a new material channel in her practice.
