Book Carvings Projects By Guy Laramée

Since 86, he is the author of several interdisciplinary works (Les Éléphants sont venus mourir ici, 86; Théorie du Désert 91; Marche de Nuit 94-96, BIBLIOS 2005-6) and co-author of multidisciplinary works (URNOS, 2004 ; Ici et là, 2004). He has been scriptwriter and director of short films (Marche de Nuit, with Henri-Louis Chalem, 96; CrystalKey Bee, 97). From 94 to 98, he has been the artistic director of PluraMuses, a company devoted to the production of multi-disciplinary works and involved in the Meduse cooperative in Quebec City. He initiated and coordinated « L’espace traversé », a pan Canadian conference on interdisciplinary practices in art (Bilingual book published by Le Sabord : L’Espace traversé).
In parallel with his artistic practice, he pursues an investigation in the field of anthropology. His fieldwork includes : ethnomusicography of the Fetiche ritual in Togo (86), Oracular imagination among the healer of the Peruvian Amazon (93-95), Concepts of creativity and imagination among contemporary artists (MA thesis : 2002). The ethnographic imaginaire is a strong marker of his artistic work.
