- O B J E T - I N D I R E C T - O B J E C T - Catherine Béchard et Sabin Hudon

Catherine Béchard and Sabin Hudon are a duo of multidisciplinary artists who live and work in Montreal. They work in the fields of sculpture, kinetic installation, electronic art, sound art and performance. Animated objects and their aural components have been part of their work of artistic enquiry and creation since their very first installation. They are interested in listening as a form of resonance in itself (within resonance is its source and its reception alike ), in sounds and noises generated by acoustic and other sources, in their propagation, in the effect they have and in the “things” and “empty spaces between things” that make up our field of perception.

Through a meshing of fleeting tensions between sight, touch and hearing, the duo creates installations which endeavour to make visible and audible the anecdotal elements of our everyday microcosm. The spatial environment and the motivity or immobility of the bodies which pass through both come into play in the work. They inhabit the space through sound and movement and bring out the encounter between the various elements and materials. Their work has been shown both within Canada and abroad.
