Catherine Béchard and Sabin Hudon are an artistic duo living and working in Montreal, engaged in the fields of sound sculpture, kinetic sound installations, audio art, electronic art and performance. Animated objects and their components have been at the heart of their research and creativity from the very beginning. They are interested in listenership through resonance in itself, (resonance as source and reception), in acoustically generated sounds/noises, their propagation, the impressions they create, as well as the “things” and the “empty spaces” which make up our perceptual fields. Assembling the fleeting forces of attraction that sight, touch and sound exert on each other, the two produce works that attempt to make visible and audible the trivial details of our everyday microcosm. These are shaped by the space environment itself as well as the motility or stillness of people in the installation. They occupy the space through sound and movement; they emphasize the impact of the various compo nents and materials on each other. The duo’s works put into perspective the transient and ever-changing nature of things and beings as well as our temporal presence in the world. Their collaborative works have been featured in solo and group exhibitions thr oughout major Canadian cities, the Czech Republic, Brazil, the United States, Germany and China.
