Nicole Fournier

Nicole Fournier's artistic practice is based on interdisciplinarity, weaving together aspects of public art, participatory performance, collaboration, cultural mediation and ecovention. The concept of ecovention applies to an intervention in eco-art, which results in positive outcomes for degraded ecosystems. Such a concept is at the core of EmballeToi! Landscape, an installation that Fournier presents on the Darling Foundry's Place Publique for the next thousand years.
