Kelly Andres is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and researcher based in rural, central Alberta. Her work explores acoustic and olfactory ecologies, bioremediation, and the expansion of human perception through public and socially engaged art. Working across sound, sculpture, technology, and organic materials, Andres’ projects often take place outside traditional galleries—on bicycles, in gardens, urban sites, and rural ecosystems.
Recent works include Planting a Promise, a public engagement project featuring a geodesic dome and sunflower exchange (The Works Festival, Edmonton), and Soundstrata, a collaborative acoustic ecology initiative with O2 Planning + Design in Calgary.
She holds a PhD from Concordia University, Montréal, and her research-creation practice is grounded in feminist posthumanist theory, ecological ethics, and experimental media. Andres’ past work has been generously supported by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and the Canada Council for the Arts.
