LE MANOIR
Julie Favreau
Residency : 12th May to June 10th 2010
Opening and performance : Thursday June 10th, 7 pm- 11pm
Exhibition : June 10th to July 4th 2010
The performance artists in Julie Favreau’s installations and videos enquire into our relationship with psychological representation. Favreau devises sets, often using found and collected objects, in which performers enter into an unusual relationship with space.
During her residency at Axenéo7, Julie Favreau has assembled her most recent installations into a maze of works to make up Le Manoir. There, she shot a new video which, like another chapter, joins the videos Le Froid, Le Marbre and Archéologies, which were also made in these same installation-sets. The characters in them act under the influence of the space around them and enter into a choreographic dialogue with the objects found within it
Invited by Axenéo7 as a curator, Julie Favreau invited performance artists from the Gatineau/Ottawa region and from Montreal to invest one of her installations. The artists selected used the same set and collection of objects to create a performance that was presented on the opening night of the event.
Theo Pelmus
Theo Pelmus is a performance artist who has received several awards, including an emerging artist grant and integrated arts grant from the Ontario Arts Council (2006; 2009), the Dennis Tourbin Fund for emerging artist in performance art (2007) and an emerging artist grant from the City of Ottawa (2009).

Caroline Boileau
Born in Montreal (Quebec) in 1970, lives in Montreal.
Caroline Boileau is pursuing a reflection on the body and health through a practice combining performance, drawing, video and installation. Driven by a fine attention to human context, her reflection is strongly inspired and imbued by the medical and pharmaceutical worlds in which, in parallel to her work as an artist, she has been evolving for many years.
Since 1996, she has participated in residencies in Canada and in Europe. Her work has been presented in exhibitions in Canada, the US, Belgium, Spain, Austria, Finland and Brazil. She holds an MFA in Studio Arts from Concordia University (2010).

She was part of the projects Clash (Tangente, 2008-2009) by Lynda Gaudreau (Cie De Brune) and Microclimats (FTA, 2009) in collaboration with Antonija Livingstone.
