Jacques Bilodeau was born in 1951 in Garthby, Québec. Since the early 1980s, he has conducted large-scale experimental interventions in buildings that he recycles. In parallel with this work combining art, design, and architecture, he produces installations and sculptures for exhibition in galleries and public sites. The question of habitation – how to inhabit a site, or even an object – is central to his concerns. The “active” objects that he makes are offered as tools that mobilize the body and the mind.
Artwork description
Somewhere between sculpture and architecture, this work of art embraces its location’s surroundings and history. This prism-shaped assemblage of brass plates catches the light filtering inside and creates a strong contrast against the concrete.
