Motifs de l'Embarras - 11 video quilts
We are inaugurating The Plant Gallery with this installation by Nathalie Bujold. It's not an insignificant choice, since the paths of this artist and LA SOCIÉTÉ DES PLANTES never cease to cross. She even spent an entire summer on the farm in her early days... She and Patrice have also collaborated on several artistic projects together. So it's with heartfelt emotion that we invite you to come and see the installation. Motifs de L'Embarras: 11 video quilts by Nathalie Bujold!
Nathalie Bujold is a multidisciplinary artist from the Gaspé Peninsula who lives and works in Verdun. Trained in music and with a degree in visual arts, Nathalie Bujold tinkers, assembles, weaves and invites different skills to intersect, particularly in her practice of video in relation to textiles. She is interested in the micro-events of a familiar everyday life, balanced with a disquieting world, which she tumbles into plastic narratives. She proceeds like a handyman whose project takes shape as the motif takes shape. The quilt, which is a form of bricolage, serves as inspiration for her shapes, and also for her general approach, in a sustainable development logic of reduction, reuse and recycling. In 1985, she was one of the founding members of the Oeil de Poisson artist-run center and collective in Quebec City. She completed her bachelor's degree at Université Laval in 1992, where she won the Prix René-Richard. In 2008, she received the Prix de la création artistique from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. In 2016, she completed her master's degree in visual and media arts at UQAM. Her monobands are distributed by Vidéographe and she is represented by galerie ELLEPHANT. The artist thanks Patrice Fortier, Nicolas Fonseca, colleagues at the Société des plantes, Maison de la culture Marie-Uguay, La Bande Vidéo, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and the Canada Council for the Arts.
