With degrees in art history and visual arts, since 1997 Catherine Bolduc has exhibited phantasmagorical works composed of sculptures, installations, and drawings. An explorer of new territories – imaginary and real – she draws on literature and on her stays abroad. In Québec, her work has been presented at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Galerie de l’UQAM, and the Maison des arts de Laval. Abroad, her work has been viewed at the Toni Tapiès Gallery (Barcelona), GASP (Boston), and the Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin).
Artwork description
The artwork is composed of three arc-shaped pieces that, like portals, invite strollers to circulate through them. The base of each piece is the frame of an oversize door; across the tops are assemblages of domestic objects, all collected by the artist in the borough and then reproduced in bronze. The composite silhouettes of the three sculptures refer to the surrounding architectural heritage and evoke the diversity of the neighbourhood community.
