Lynda Gaudreau

Lynda Gaudreau's work unfolds through series resulting from creation, research and curating activities. Her artistic practice is grounded in choreography and in a reflection on dance, while engaging a thorough dialogue with architecture, visual arts, cinema and performance. As an artist and a curator, Gaudreau has for instance presented OUT OF GRACE at the Leonard & Bina Ellen Gallery (2010), a group exhibition bringing together Alexandre David, Jérôme Fortin, Aude Moreau, Yann Pocreau, and Chih-Chien Wang, while inviting them to approach the exhibition space as a choreographical system. Among her usual collaborators are the dancer Karina Iraola, the composer Alexandre St-Onge, the filmmaker Marlene Millar, as well as the architect Annie Lebel. Her most recent series, entitled Out, focusses on what escapes any system: "misfits", margins and aesthetical, political and social excentricity.
