Biography
Stéphane Aquin. Photo Jean-François Brière
Director of the MMFA since November 2020, Stéphane Aquin was born in Montreal and has lived in the United States and Switzerland. He holds a Master’s in Art History from Université de Montréal. During the 1990s, following a first stint at the Museum in which he collaborated on the opening of the Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion, he made his mark as an art critic in Quebec and Canada. He rejoined the MMFA’s ranks in 1998 as Curator of Contemporary Art, a position he held for 16 years. Over the course of this period, he organized more than 40 exhibitions and significantly enhanced the institution’s reputation for excellence. In 2015, he left Montreal for Washington, D.C., to pursue the role of Chief Curator of the Smithsonian Institution’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Over the next five years, he would oversee numerous exhibitions, edit a variety of reference books and take part in a number of international conferences and juries on behalf of the Hirshhorn.
Through the recognition he has earned over the years – stemming notably from his vast knowledge of modern and contemporary art, art history in general, and the challenges facing today’s museum’s – Stéphane Aquin has become an important figure in the cultural milieu. As Director of the MMFA, he is pursuing the development of the great Montreal institution with a focus on an inclusive approach to art, the artist’s vision, education and innovation.
