Julie Andrée T.

Born in Montreal in 1973, Julie Andrée T. is a graduate of Studio Arts at Concordia University (2000). With the body and space at the core of her research process, Julie Andrée T. finds expression through installation and performance. Between the poetic and the pedestrian, her work features abstract yet recognizable common spaces that serve as points of departure for various fields of inquiry, both cultural and existential.

Since 1996, Julie Andrée T. has exhibited her works and performed in Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia and South America. More recently, her work has been exhibited at the Western Front Gallery in Vancouver, the eighth Havana Biennial, Montreal’s Centre des arts actuels Skol and Québec City's La Chambre Blanche. During the 2008-2009 and 2010-2011 school year, she was a guest professor of performance at the School of The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In September 2009 she was invited to direct a ten-day performance event at 798 SPACE, located in Beijing's Dashanzi Art District. Finally, as well as performing on a regular basis with Black Market International since 2003, she has been on the programming committee for the Lieu de Québec contemporary art centre since 2008.

In the performing arts, Julie Andrée T. has collaborated with director Jacob Wren (En français comme en anglais, it's easy to criticize and Unrehearsed Beauty) as well as choreographers Martin Bélanger (Grande Théorie Unifiée), Xavier LeRoy, Benoît Lachambre (Confort et complaisance and 100 rencontres) and Dominique Porte (Un homme, une femme). In 2006 she served as co-artistic director for a multidisciplinary project created by the Brussels-based PONI collective, which includes musicians, dancers and actors.

Julie Andrée T. presented the irreverent Problématique provisoire at the Festival de Théâtre des Amériques in 2003 and at the 100 Dessus Dessous Festival in 2005. Not Waterproof et/ou L'érosion d'un corps erroné was created in collaboration with Jean Jauvin (lighting designer) and Laurent Maslé (composer and sound designer) in 2008. In June 2009, she created Red (Rouge) with the same two collaborators and accomplices. Not Waterproof et/ou l'érosion d'un corps erroné and Rouge were presented at the 2009 Festival TransAmériques and 2010 Avignon Festival.
