Book Carvings Projects By Guy Laramée

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.
Although his work had already been seen within museum and galleries (Marche de Nuit hosted by the Montreal Contemporary Art Museum, 94; « Quelle belle journée pour mourir ! », Méduse 1997), his appearance in the context of gallery exhibits is relatively new (2004). However, at the end of 2011 his log sheet will already include some 15 solos and more than 20 collective shows, half of which abroad.
