Sylvain Bouthillette | Online exhibition
Sylvain Bouthillette, born in 1963, lives and works in Montreal. A multidisciplinary artist, his work balances between music, dance, installation, sculpture, painting and photography. Whatever the medium, his works tend to demonstrate that ridicule, impermanence, confusion, instability ambiguity, uncertainty, and embarrassment are all forms of liberation if we stop believing that life is something stable and definable...

Acidum Project + REMIX
June 14th to August 13th, 2016
Galerie C.O.A is hosting ACIDUM PROJECT’s very first exhibition in Canada. The collective was founded by artist duo Tereza and Robézio (aka AC/D1): Together, they create colourful frescoes, oft Âinspired by themes of humanity and knowledge. During their stay in Montreal, the duo will also leave their colourful mark on the local landscape through their collaboration with the 2016 edition of the MURAL festival. REMIX is the second part of this joint exhibition, featuring the works of 12 artists hailing from Belgium, Spain, Germany, the UK, the US, and Canada. Mixing different influences, objects or references, each artist uses different techniques and materials, skewing their original meaning to create new combinations of different systems, often borrowing from Art History.
