Permaculture (Refused Title)

“Forest systems are an intricate entanglement of aggregate structures that coalesce to support life in an elegantly balanced continuum. They are a slow, sustained emergence of interlaced redundancies, competition and mutuality. Observing these complexities is important to our own existence, one that is fundamentally inseparable from nature. What then is the environmental responsibility of the art world in a critically transitioning, overburdened ecosystem? Do artists and cultural workers have inherent obligations to decouple their practices from the surfeit and hubris of unbridled capitalism, being envoys of creative and not of destructive processes? Our irrational compulsion for exponential growth, firmly merged with fossil fuel overindulgence, has been radically impacting the ecosystem in erratic and unprecedented ways. The art world and market capitalism generally coexist in a vigorous hyperparasitism, where often growth, grandeur and impertinence are paramount at the expense of economy, probity and essence.

Montreal has been home for Stephen Beaupré‘s distinct and exhilarating musical production for 2 decades. Attracting early attention as part of the techno duo Crackhaus, Stephen gained further recognition as a solo artist with releases on Montreal label Musique Risquée, particularly his 2006 album, the skillful Foe Destroyer. Since, Stephen has released music on acclaimed labels such as Circus Company, and Perlon. Through his particular musical approach, he constructs rich forms of spirited rhythms, lush melodies and wistful vocals.

As an artist, Monique Régimbald-Zeiber has long been interested in the politics of art. She developed a transdisciplinary practice in painting and writing that questions the construction of History, particularly Women’s History. As a professor and researcher (UQAM), she contributed to the development of programs supporting research-creation in Québec (FRQSC).
