We invite you to encounter the practices of three artists from the Artroduction project. Each in their own way, Clara Cousineau, Anne-Marie Groulx and Samuel St-Aubin propose playful, poetic and ingenious works that offer us a renewed look at our everyday world.

Anne-Marie Groulx’s textile construction practice puts forward a formal and original approach to working on the Jacquard loom. Seeking to explore the specificities of the materials and technical processes she works with, she creates surprising works that transcend the reproducibility associated with her medium and generate unusual textile objects offering a playful and renewed vision of the fibre arts. Anne-Marie Groulx holds a diploma in textile construction from the Maison des métiers d’art de Québec, and is currently completing a bachelor’s degree in visual and media arts at Université Laval. Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Quebec, Toronto and Iceland. She was the winner of the Telus Expression Textile Award and the Grand prix de la Maison des métiers d’art in 2015. Her work is collected by the Musée ambulant as well as by several private collectors. She lives and works in the City of Quebec City. 

Through his practice in electronic arts, Samuel St-Aubin infuses everyday objects with a new reality. Employing strategies of diversion and control of matter, his kinetic sculptures isolate the behaviour of an object and test it in exercises of balance, force or chance. Through this process, he astonishingly reveals the underlying poetry of our familiar universe, which is revealed with disarming simplicity. Artist and new media technologist, Samuel St-Aubin has been collaborating for more than two decades in the production of electronic arts works by Quebec artists. A self-taught inventor, he has been developing a personal practice for several years. His work has been presented in exhibitions and artistic events in Quebec, the United States, several European countries as well as in North Africa. His works are part of the collections of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and the City of Montreal. He lives and works in Montreal.
