Vincent Perron received training in architecture from 2010 to 2020, and now lives between Montreal and Kamouraska. In Montreal, he teaches at CÉGEP and is studying architectural teaching as part of a PhD in education at UQAM. His artistic work is based on a speculative practice that uses architecture as a tool for observing and representing the world, rather than as a practice for designing the built environment. This practice takes many forms. In collaboration with Joël Nadeau-Gauthier and Denis Lahaie, he uses the Bas-Saint-Laurent region as a space for drawing explorations into memory, collective memory and perception. The group's drawings highlight the slow degradation of built heritage. 

On his own, Vincent also explores the ambiguity between representation and reality. He is particularly interested in the blurring of the lines between documented history, real history and fiction. During his master's degree in architecture at UBC, he worked on Sandy Island, whose uncertain existence enabled him to construct a world that fluctuates between reality and fiction. Concurrently, he spent most of his time drawing chairs. These permeate all his projects. He draws them impulsively without a goal in mind; drawing being a form of meditation and exploration for him. The chairs are sometimes depicted on the scale of the land, sometimes on the scale of human beings. This work will be the subject of his residency.
