Pierre Ayot\u00a0was born in Montreal in 1943. He graduated from the \u00c9cole des beaux-arts in Montreal, where he taught as early as 1964, later continuing his teaching career at the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al until 1995. In 1966 he founded \u201cl\u2019Atelier Libre 848\u201d, a collective workshop known as Atelier Graff, and was also one of the founding member of the group \u201cM\u00e9dia, gravures et multiples\u201d. Though initially focused on printmaking, his production soon exploded towards sculpture, painting and photography, as well as audio and visual installation. His works, showcased in over thirty solo exhibitions between 1965 and 2016, are now part of most major public and corporate art collections in Canada, as well as a number of foreign collections like the New York Museum of Modern Art\u2019s, and the London Tate Modern\u2019s. Over the years, several major exhibitions featured his work, such as\u00a0Pierre Ayot et son Museum Circus\u00a0at the Mus\u00e9e national des beaux-arts du Qu\u00e9bec in 1992, and\u00a0Pierre Ayot hors-cadre(s)\u00a0a r\u00e9trospective pr\u00e9sented at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2001, to name only a few. In the fall of 2016,\u00a0Pierre Ayot \u2013 Regard critique, along with several other exhibitions brought\u00a0to life the whole of the artist\u2019s career. He passed away on May 2nd 1995, and the Prix Pierre-Ayot, created in his memory by the City of Montreal and AGAC, is awarded each year to an emerging artist.<\/p>\n
