Stéphane Gilot
Originally from Liège, Stéphane Gilot (1969) lives between Montreal and Liège. His multidisciplinary work combines drawing, modeling, architectural installation, video, performance and curating. His reflexive approach to the contexts of intervention and exhibition, also proposes a set of experiments on the issues raised by the protocols of interdisciplinary collaborations. Many of these projects are in fact developed from invitations to performance, sound and dance artists.
