Lieven Meyer

Lieven Meyer is a German-born multidisciplinary practitioner established and working in Quebec since 2013. Growing up in 1980s East Berlin, Meyer began his artistic training by practicing sculpture, painting and academic drawing. In the early 2000s, he left the Berlin area for the North Sea coast where he nurtured an independent practice before enrolling at the University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel to train in contemporary sculpture (2009-2013). Following this training, Meyer left his native country for Quebec where he obtained his MFA degree from the University of Quebec in Montreal.

Developing an independent practice of sculpture, installation and intervention in public space, he occasionally works as part of the artist duo MeyerMétivier, founded in Montreal in 2016. Since 2020, Meyer has been teaching in the visual arts program at the École multidisciplinaire de l'image (EMI) at the Université du Québec en Outaouais (Gatineau). He joins the board of the artist-run center AXENÉO7 in 2021 and is appointed co-president in 2022.
