BIOGRAPHY
For several years, Dominique Blais has
been devoted to creating connections between the visual and sound
elements of our environment. Working at the limit of what is
perceptible, he explores the tenuous link between the visible
and the invisible in installations which examine the connection
with a place and with memory. Through subtle transpositions,
Blais upsets our expectations and baffles our senses, opening them
up to new perceptive possibilities.
Dominique Blais lives and works in Paris,
France. He received his BFA & MA from the Ecole des
Beaux-arts de Nantes, Master of Media & Multimedia from the
Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (Paris) and
post-graduate degree from the Ecole
Superieure des Beaux-arts de Marseille. After completing his
studies,
Dominique Blais worked as a
program planner in electronic / experimental music and curator for
artist-run-gallery Glassbox (Paris).
