Paul Couillard
b.1961,Toronto, Canada
Since 1985 Paul Couillard has been an artist, curator, producer and writer
primarily working in performance art often with installation and video
elements. His work seeks to build community through explorations of our
bodies as vessels of sensation, experience, knowledge and spirit, looking
for the moment of shared engagement and relationship with the audience.
He has a particular interest in considering the shared borders obour separate
existences, searching for a language that can convey the complex layers
of personal history, cultural/social specificity and the notion of shared
or universal experience. He has been the performance art curator for Fado,
an artist-run centre for perforrhance art, since its inception in 1993,
and is also a founding co-curator of the 7a*11d InternationalPerformance
Art Festival, both based in Toronto, Canada. He is currently editing Canadian
Performance Art Legends, a series of books on senior Canadian performanoe
artists.
