This spring Arsenal Contemporary Art is pleased to welcome Studio Rat for a residency in Montreal. Composed of Emily Allan and Dominique Di Libero, the duo has been working since 2018 to develop installations at the boundaries of sculpture and experimental design.  

About 

Committed to Do It Yourself (DIY) fabrication techniques, Studio Rat has developed a creative practice based on resource sharing and circular design principles. In addition to giving new life to plastics, their installations transform the spaces in which they are displayed, bringing a playful and surreal effect.

Emily Allan and Dominique Di Libero live and work in Toronto and Montreal (Canada) and hold a Bachelor of Interior Design (B.sec) from Toronto Metropolitan University (Canada). Their installations have been exhibited in Canada and internationally at venues such as the SADE Gallery (Los Angeles, USA) and Design TO (Toronto, Canada).
