Printed In Canada/Taiwan
About a year ago, I was invited by Guy Langevin to participate in a print exhibition that would take place in Taiwan. 25 Canadian artists were to exhibit our works in Taiwan and 25 Taiwanese artists were to exhibit their work here (well, in Quebec). Guy invited three artists from the exhibition (myself, Deborah Chapman, and Mylene Gervais) and a representative from Trois Rivieres (Marie-Eve Berube) to accompany him to the opening in August. It was a whirlwind three days in Taiwan and we were welcomed by the generous and extremely friendly Taiwanese artists. The exhibition would serve as a way for artists in each country to show their works and to build relationships between artists and institutions beyond the exhibition. A catalogue of all of the works in both exhibitions is available.

The Second International Printmaking Triennial, Belgrade
I have works in the Second International Printmaking Triennial in Belgrade, Serbia. The exhibition opened on September 4th.
Work Available at The Print Center
I’m honoured to have my work available for sale at The Print Center in Philadelphia. If you are a fan of print and are in Philadelphia, you should definitely drop by and check out their current exhibitions and gallery shop. But if you are far away and are still interested in purchasing one of my prints, head on over to their website to pick one up (and peruse the many other wonderful works on the site).

Shift | SNAP Gallery
I just returned from Edmonton where I opened my latest exhibition, Shift, at SNAP Gallery. Three of the works in the exhibition are large plexiglass works, 6′ x 4′, and ended up having to be driven up in a motorhome making for the craziest delivery of works I’ve ever participated in. The exhibition is up until May 31st.
Works tied down in the motorhome for shipping

Installing works at SNAP
I spent most of Wednesday installing works and tweaking some of my code – a beefier motor on one of the houses required an adjustment to some of my coding for the Arduino. Four of the houses in the exhibition respond to the viewers presence and cause an action within the house such as a door opening and closing or a light turning on.
Looking into the window at SNAP
The day of the opening the weather was cold but the window looked hot. Despite several other events on the same day, my opening and artist- talk were well attended. The people at SNAP make for some great hosts!

Shift at SNAP in Edmonton
I have a solo show opening up at this week SNAP at in Edmonton. If you are in town, drop by on Thursday night for the opening reception from 7-9pm or during gallery hours until May 31st.

- All better!
I recently headed back to Trois Rivieres to set up my solo exhibition Uncanny Flux at Presse Papier. My work arrived ahead of me and unfortunately one of the houses did not emerge from his journey unscathed. Fortunately, after a day and night in the art hospital and a bit of glue, it was back in the game and ready to go. A few technical misunderstandings later and the show was up. The show is a mixture of silkscreen prints and a couple of my house sculptures. The exhibition is on at Presse Papier from now until March 16th.
