ABOUT THE ARTIST Philippe Blanchard is a Toronto-based artist, animator and educator. His diverse creative background has informed an interdisciplinary practice combining animation, installation, light shows, textile and printmaking. His studio research explores and disrupts how moving images– with their underlying histories and inherited disciplinary boundaries–inform cultural notions of time and space. Recent projects include textile production research at TextielLab (Textile Museum, Tilburg NL), a solo exhibition of experimental stop-motion animations at Atelier Circulaire (Montreal), a studio residency and an exhibition at Proyecto ‘Ace (Buenos Aires). Over the last ten years, Philippe has exhibited expanded animation installations at TAIS, Ontario Place (Toronto), Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario (Sudbury), Sinan Mansions (Shanghai); Festival Chromatic (Paris); Centro de Artes de Guanajuato, San Pedro Museo de Arte in Puebla, the National Museum of Print in Mexico City (Mexico); Glendon Gallery (Toronto), Cambridge Galleries (Cambridge ON), and ARPRIM (Montreal), all work featuring screen-printed imagery or textiles animated by computer-controlled coloured lighting.
