In both his architectural projects and art installations, Jacques Bilodeau’s primary focus is always the body – his and ours. Known for his large-scale architectural initiatives that radically challenge the assumptions defining domestic life, the artist has, since 2000, created sculptures and installations that invite spectators to immerse themselves in the piece. With Masses, his new in situ work (2150 St-clement st, Montreal), Bilodeau forcefully returns to the formal preoccupations and materials that have long had him in their grip: vaguely menacing geometric and organic forms crafted from steel, felt and leather. It is possible to see Masses on Fridays and Saturdays, from 1pm to 5pm, and by appointment the rest of the week. Tel: 514-875-2323; email: info@joyceyahoudagallery.com Masses is also presented in a video at the gallery with two other Jacques Bilodeau artworks: Faire son trou (2007) and Transformable 1 (2004).
