From February 2002 till December 2008, I have been the director of Champ Libre,
a non-profit organization & festival active at the junction between art, new technologies, architecture and public space.
Champ Libre (1992-2014) was the Montreal based organizer of the Manifestation Internationale,
a site specific nomadic biennale, presenting 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 abandoned 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 artworks.
