Educated at Concordia University in Montreal (B.F.A., 1996) and Columbia University, New York (M.F.A., 2004), Fabienne Lasserre lives and works in Brooklyn NY. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally. In 2019 she received a Guggenheim Fellowship. 

“I make abstract, free-standing, double-sided paintings. I can also describe them as 2-dimensional sculptures. This blurring of formal categories carries with it the promise of a related “blur” between other ontological classes and rigid models of understanding. My recent pieces are large, geometric shapes bearing openings and holes –windows of sorts- that crop or frame the space around them. Inviting or obstructing passage and sight, the pieces include “what they are not”: the area around them, the people looking at them, the other pieces in the room.”

Recent shows include "The Nervous Hand", a two-person show with Ezra Tessler at 315 Gallery in Brooklyn (2018); "Fabienne Lasserre and Annette Wehrhahn" at Safe Gallery (2016) and her solo "Les Approches" (2015) at Parisian Laundry, Montreal. Lasserre has participated in numerous group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally, amongst these, "Feed the Meter vol. 2" at Ceysson Bénétière Gallery, Luxembourg (2017) and "C.Ar.D. in città" (2015), at Palazzo Costa Trettenero, Piacenza, Italy. Other group shows include "Beyond the End", Kadist Foundation, Paris (2014); "Outside the Lines", Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, TX (2013); "Saber Desconocer", Museo de Antioquia, Medellin, Colombia (2013); "La Triennale québecoise" (2011), Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal; "Come Through" (2010), Sikkema Jenkins & Co., NY , "Foreign Object" (2010), Regina Rex, NY, and "Hace Mucho que No Te Veo" (2010), at Espacio Matucana 100, Santiago, Chile. She is a recipient of the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program award (2016-17) and the 2017 St-Gaudens Memorial Fellowship, has completed a residency at Dieu Donné Papermill (Workspace Program, 2012), and received two Project Grants for Visual Artists from the Canada Council for the Arts (2013 and 2014).
