100 RENCONTRES

BENOÎT LACHAMBRE | PAR B.L.EUX

Composed of video performance, art installations, sound happenings and poetry, the works of Benoît Lachambre extend beyond conventional boundaries of art to ask questions that constantly stretch the limits of choreography. A radical admixture of several forms of artistic language, his work is that of a multifaceted artist for whom the unusual is the norm.

Details

An exceptional project, this arts forum combines in a single space several modules designed by artists from disparate disciplines, with the ensemble creating an arcade of shifting geometry. Julie-Andrée T., Emmanuel Jouthe, Germana Civera, Isabelle Schad, Sheila Ribeiro and Jorge Leon are only some of the major names in contemporary art who will be brought together for this event. It is thanks to par b.l.eux , to Benoît Lachambre and to his associates eux that these 100 Rencontres, already acclaimed around the world, will at last appear in Montreal, toying with the dynamics of perception and communication in order to explore encounters at their most mobile and most sensitive.
