On October 5, 2023, I led a workshop-conference at the Cégep de l’Outaouais as part of the course Materiality and Immateriality. This meeting offered a critical [re]visit of the exhibition Création[tiret]Recherche, exploring the connections between artistic practice and research approaches.

The Exhibition Création[tiret]Recherche: Between Process and Experimentation
This exhibition foregrounded works that interrogate the relationship between artistic creation and knowledge production. Through a range of practices—installation, photography, and digital art—the artist-curators proposed a critical reflection on both creative and curatorial processes.
An interactive lecture on the stakes of contemporary art
During this workshop, I guided students through a critical reading of the exhibition, addressing several central questions:
- How does contemporary art redefine research-creation?
- In what ways do artistic and curatorial practices intertwine?
- How does research transform our perception of art?
- How does art, in turn, reshape our understanding of research?
A Dialogue Between Research and Artistic Teaching
This workshop enabled students to engage with the artworks through both analytical and sensory approaches, combining theoretical reflection with embodied experience. The discussion also highlighted the intersections between research-creation and artistic practices, situating them within a broader reflection on the evolution of contemporary media and artistic forms.
