His latest art venture, Touche, is a major work produced and distributed with the complicity of the Centre SAGAMIE in Alma. Although Guy Blackburn's practice is open-ended, the installation remains at the heart of his work. His works explore in a striking, even disturbing way, the new individual and social conditions resulting from recent scientific practices. A singular approach and an uncompromising practice.

Guy Blackburn
Born in 1956, Guy Blackburn lives and works in Chicoutimi. Since the early 80s, he has participated in various exhibitions and events in Quebec, Canada (Ontario, New Brunswick) and abroad (France, Germany, Poland, Chile). Since 1990, Blackburn has produced a body of work that has attracted wide public interest, media coverage and analysis. These include La Cécité, Hommage à Anna, Espace interdit, Quémander l'affection and a series of four installations at the Cold War Museum in Carps, Ontario. More recently, at the Musée de Rimouski and Galerie Séquence in Chicoutimi, he presented the exhibition Sans Silence, and Extrait d'ambiguïté at the Biennale nationale de sculpture contemporaine in Trois-Rivières.
