Ombres d'exil-Montreal 2019-20
Demo de Camille Courier (Doctorante UQAM)
lundi 9 mars à 17h30
Salle d'expérimentation Hexagram (SB-4246)
Ce projet s'inscrit dans la dernière partie de mon cursus doctoral en recherche-création (doctorat en études et pratiques des arts, UQAM). Mon terreau se situe dans le champ du "dessin élargi". Ma pratique du dessin s'est déployée par hybridation de gestes de dessiner issus du champ des arts visuels et de gestes de dessiner inventés et pratiqués pour la scène, du fait d'une pratique professionnelle assidue dans le champ des arts vivants.

SCIENTIFIC ORIENTATIONS
Research-creation
Research-Creation is a developing research trend in Canada’s academic milieu, linking the interpretive disciplines (humanities and social sciences) with creative ones (art and design). This involves the creation of knowledge in and through creative material and performative practice.
Research axis
The 2014-2020 research program is centered on three axes: (1) Senses, Embodiment and Movement; (2) Materiality; (3) Ubiquity. These axes reflect the changing landscape of media arts, design and technology research with the inclusion of researchers from sociology, art history, anthropology, game studies, philosophy and communication/media studies in addition to artists and designers into the network.
