​​

This fall, the artist duo of Izabelle Desroches and William Légaré were awarded the l@ch@mbrebl@nche prize. The two artists are in production residency in our Laboratories from March 2 to April 10, 2021. A presentation of their residency work will take place on April 21, 2021 at 5 pm via Zoom.

Starting from a common interest in the photographic medium, the work of Izabelle Desroches and William Légaré is characterized by a concern for heritage, memory and the collective imagination. For this project, they want to use photographs, archives and texts to establish what the heritage of the suburbs would consist of. This work aims to combine narrative accounts from various eras, thus highlighting the plurality of experiences linked to this type of space.

Their residency at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE is intended as a pretext to explore computer-assisted tools and to see how they fit into their practice. Thus, the two artists wish to use these tools to produce images designed for the outdoor space. They also want to work on layers and transparency to bring several levels of reading. This exploratory work brings together the common interests that they developed together during the bachelor's degree in visual and media arts at Université Laval.
