Nathalie Levasseur Invites Organisations to Take Part in her Artistic Project
Creating a Social Fabric
This fabric cord is in the making since 2008. The various social organisations are invited to join in this artistic endeavour by adding to the fabric already about 2000 feet long - a symbol for durable connections to include every person including the physically or mentally handicapped. Everybody should be integrated into the social fabric.
The work will be done on a sofa in an ear shape, while part of the fabric that already has been completed is covered. It is an opportunity for a social activity while exchanging ideas about new manners of achieving the goal. The artist is looking forward to interacting and receiving input from participants.
Please contact the multidisciplinary artist, Nathalie Levasseur for more information: 819 322-6053
Nathalie Levasseur Wins the Laurentian Creative Award
The 22nd Annual “Grands Prix de la culture des Laurentides”, took place in St. Jerome, on November 3rd. The $5000 prize granted by the “Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec”, was awarded to Nathalie Levasseur, who lives in Val David.
Nathalie Levasseur was selected by a committee of peers from varied disciplines, for the quality of her work, her prowess in basketry, and for striving to enhance awareness of art in the community. Nathalie has exhibited extensively, in solo and group shows in Quebec, Canada, Japan and Europe for the past eighteen years. She has done “Artist Residency” in Japan, and was invited the René Derouin Annual Symposiums.
Nathalie Levasseur is a multidisciplinary artist whose main theme is the environment of human kind. She does sculpture, installations, ‘in-situ’ creations, performance and multimedia. Nathalie has taken various courses such as: using natural materials in the forest with Domingo Cisneros, in Mont Laurier; Butoh Dance, print-making, Japanese woodcut, performance art with Sylvie Tourangeau, and Indonesian performers. She has learnt bamboo art in Japan, and participated in various workshops in basket weaving, paper making, felting, Artist-Book creation, traditional Mohawk cutting techniques, Drum making, and photography.
Nathalie Levasseur does installations that combine material derived from vegetation, and the animal world, using a variety of pliable objects such as straw, stems, animal hair, grasses, minerals and man-made products. Through ancient methods Nathalie assembles material to create contemporary art that unites past and present, thus symbolising continuity. This award will enable her to continue her artistic endeavours. Bravo Nathalie!
