Philippe Boissonnet

Philippe Boissonnet studied visual arts in Angers (Fine-arts school) and Paris (La Sorbonne). He settled in Montreal in 1982 where he completed also his PhD (2013) in arts at UQAM. Since 1993, he has been full­‐time professor of visual and media arts at the Université du Québec à Trois-­Rivières where he is leading a research group in arts (URAV). He received the Elisabeth Greenshields Foundation award (Canada, 1983) for his works combining drawing and photocopier images and he won the Shearwater Foundation award for Holographic Arts (1998) as well as the Hologram Foundation prize (2018) for his works incorporating light and holograms into installations. Boissonnet has been part of several artist‐in‐residency programs such as the Dirección Nacional del Antártico (Argentina, 2007) and the Center for the Holographics Arts/ OSU Lab (USA, 2012), Atelier holographique de Paris (2018). His artworks are part of several public and museum collections. Since 1983 Boissonnet’s work has been exhibited in a number of group and solo exhibitions in Canada, United States, UK, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Brésil, Australia, Japan, and Europe. Most of his installative artworks encompass several forms of artistic expression: drawing, photography, sculpture, holography, video and interactive installations.
