From February 2002 till December 2008, I have been the director of Champ Libre, an organization active at the junction between art, new technologies, architecture and public spaces.
Champ Libre is the Montreal based organizer of the Manifestation Internationale, a site specific nomadic biennale, presenting since 1992 collaborative interventions by new media artists and architects in public spaces.
During the seven years I spent at the head of the organization, I realized four editions of the biennale, as well as a dozen other events, workshops and an international symposium. These have happened in various outdoor and indoor public spaces, contemporary and heritage sites such as an incinerator, a national library and a water pumping station. I have had the opportunity of working with over three hundred artists and architects in staging and commissionning as many installations, performances and video programs.
