Julie Favreau’s practice is greatly influenced by experimental theatre and dance. Her projects take on different forms such as; video art, installation, sculpture, performance, and photography. Through the use of gesture (choreographed, performative) and sites (installations, sets), her work examines our relationship to psychological representations.
Favreau has presented/performed her work in different contexts including exhibitions, festivals and performances on stage. Recent shows, research projects and workshops include: Darling foundry-Quartier Ephémère studio, Paris (2011-12); Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal -MACM Quebec Triennial (2011-12); In Limbo-Compagnie de Brune, Tangente (2012); Musée de Rimouski (2012); Perdre le Nord, Est-Nord-Est Center (2011); Galerie de L’UQAM (2005, 2010), Goodwater Gallery,Toronto (2010); Axenéo 7 (2010); Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery (2009), Laboratoires D’Aubervilliers, Paris (2007); Clark Gallery (2007); Dare-Dare (2007).
