In recent years, the relationship between performance art and the image has been dominated by the question of documentation. As such, we commonly think of image making as a tool for capturing and communicating live works to future audiences. In other words, the action is commonly assumed to generate the image.<\/p>\n
In contrast, Roche Photo Ciseaux<\/em> invites three artists to invert the expected relationship by considering how images can be used to generate actions. During a creation residency at Centre SAGAMIE, Sarah Chouinard-Poirier<\/strong>, Mathieu Lacroix<\/strong> and Steve Giasson<\/strong> will develop new performances that explore photographs and other printed visuals as a performance material rather than as documentation. The resulting actions will be presented at Le Lobe (Chicoutimi), at Sporobole and at VIVA! Art Action (Montr\u00e9al).<\/p>\n Residency\u00a0at Centre Sagamie <\/strong> Performances\u00a0at Le Lobe <\/strong> Performances at Sporobole <\/strong> Performances at VIVA! Art Action<\/strong> Mathieu Lacroix<\/strong><\/a> lives and works in Montr\u00e9al. He has an undergraduate degree in Visual Arts from the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. Within his practice, the theatre of the everyday is, on the one hand, emphasized and, on the other, perverted by the construction of a poetic unreal. His work has recently been shown at the Mus\u00e9e des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke, at CIRCA Art Actuel and at la Maison de la culture C\u00f4te-des-Neiges in Montr\u00e9al. He has also exhibited at the Mus\u00e9e des beaux-arts de Mont-Saint-Hilaire during the 5th<\/sup> Biennale du dessin, at the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art contemporain des Laurentides (2014-2013), at Galerie Tzara in Qu\u00e9bec (2012) and at the Centre d’exposition du Vieux Presbyt\u00e8re de St-Bruno-de-Montarville (2009).<\/p>\n Sarah Chouinard-Poirier<\/strong><\/a> is a multidisciplinary artist working closely with cultural and community-based initiatives in Montreal. She elaborates her performances by arranging presence, gesture, speech and object, to compose an image as sensitive as it is radical, to create her own feminist and resistant mythology.\u00a0Her recent solo work focuses on spoken action and the body\u2019s marking of space, as well as the narrative quality of actions and images. She is also interested in relational practices, care ethics and re-appropriation of narratives by people and communities.<\/p>\n Steve Giasson <\/strong><\/a>is a conceptual artist that uses a wide variety of forms and media to transgress artistic genres and to question their limits. Romantic notions of authenticity and originality are undermined within his practice, which borrows freely from both the everyday and Art History \u2013 between homage and affront \u2013 in an effort to demystify the creative process and the figure of the artists. He has 20 publications to his credit and is currently pursuing a PhD in \u00c9tudes et pratiques des arts (UQAM). His work has been exhibited in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Europe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Centre SAGAMIE<\/strong><\/a> is a contemporary research, creation and production centre that is open to all artists whose practices connect to issues related to the contemporary image.<\/p>\n
