Playing on interdisciplinarity, from happening to musical composition and from performance to installation, Geneviève Matthieu create collective representations and stagings of social tableaux that are sometimes festive, but always human. Since 2001, their discography has included six titles. Their work, which oscillates between baroque, abstract expressionism and arte povera, has been exhibited more than forty times in Quebec, across Canada, the United States, France, Belgium and Spain. Actively involved in her community, Geneviève Matthieu has developed the Écart artist-run center and the Biennale d'art performatif de Rouyn-Noranda for over 20 years.
A residency? A performance? Here's what Geneviève Matthieu has invited you to do :
"Danseprophétiqueàl'îlebizarre is our very own Noah's Ark, signed March 23, 2024. A place to gather in case of emergency. A rich and fertile sculpture. Outside the center. A meeting, a movement, a vision of what we want. Of how we want to die or not. Above all, not tense. Like a cry of joy, let's start again."
