Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it. This talk features Catherine Mennard.
Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist, and writer Jennifer Remenchik. Artists are selected to reflect the diversity of the art scene of the greater Los Angeles area.
Catherine Menard is a Los Angeles–based interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans single and multi-channel video, performance, site-responsive installation, expanded painting, and sculpture. Rather than treating these mediums as discrete outputs, she choreographs them as interdependent components—image, sound, object, and body—within immersive environments calibrated to the architecture, circulation paths, and acoustics of a given site, approaching the conditions of a Gesamtkunstwerk or “total work.” Menard received both her Bachelor of Science in Spatial Experience Design and Master of Fine Art from ArtCenter College of Design. She has been internationally recognized for her permanent public artwork—The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial—completed in 2015 and located in Memorial Park, Pasadena, CA. Her most recent solo exhibition was presented at Unveil Gallery in 2024, Irvine, CA. Menard’s work has been exhibited in group exhibitions across Los Angeles including Rusha & Co, Reisig and Taylor Contemporary, and The Box.
The series is sponsored by the Brand Associates and is free and open to the public. Arrive early to view the current exhibition, Neighborhood Ecology, presented in partnership with Glendale Unified School District.
