Véronique Leblanc

Véronique Leblanc focuses on contextual, procedural and relational practices as well as links between art, ethics and politics. Her exhibition projects often gather works that replay documentary elements or everyday situations to encourage the viewer to doubt, to deconstruct or reconsider what he understands. An important part of her approach is also based on the analysis of artistic practices that address issues of otherness and democracy in a context of globalization. Her most recent exhibition, entitled Polyphonies (Optica , 2015), creates a dialogue between works of six artists from Quebec and abroad who question the ways in which identity and ideological constructs are involved in the articulation of common life.
