The collaborative practice of Catherine Béchard and Sabin Hudon probes the in-between spaces linked to inhabited territories, as well as the alternative or parallel temporalities of all living beings’ activities. Attentive listening along with what escapes our immediate perceptions of the world is at the center of their practice. By scrutinizing the space-time of places inhabited by living things, they invite us to push back our perceptive limits and reassess our understanding of the environment as a whole. Their research and creations take the form of installations, sculptures, sound works, videos and occasionally photography.
Their work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Their recent solo exhibitions include: Invariable Variations, Centre d’art Jacques-et-Michel-Auger, Canada (2023), The Underneath & The River I et II, Mois Multi, Canada (2023) Configurations du sensible, Salle Alfred Pellan de la Maison des arts de Laval, Canada (2022). Béchard Hudon have participated in numerous group exhibitions in Canada, in Germany, in the United States, in China and in Brasil.
They live and work in Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyang / Montréal, Québec, Canada.
