Jocelyne Alloucherie, OC (born February 8, 1947) is a Canadian sculptor who explores the relationships between sculpture, architecture and photography through installations.

Career

[edit]

Born in Mont-Apica, Quebec, she spent many of her early years in Chicoutimi and moved to Quebec City before 1961. She studied for short periods at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Quebec between 1961 and 1965. She studied visual arts at Laval University and graduated with her B.F.A. (1971–73). She held a solo show of her work at the Musee du Quebec in 1973. In 1974, she began teaching plastic arts courses at Laval University part-time, while devoting her free time to her own art. She received a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1981 from Concordia University.[1] She has taught visual arts and art history at the Laval University, the Université du Québec à Montréal, Concordia University and the University of Ottawa.[2]

Jocelyne Alloucherie offered some reflections on the development of her work in the exhibit guide to Climats (Climates) held at the Carleton University Art Gallery in 2010:

"I develop rich bodies of work, grouped together under the same title and whose relations change according to the time and place of their exhibition. Like pieces of music, they undergo variation according to the way they are interpreted, which is a function of the space in which they are shown. The conceptual thread of a work is constant, but the way it is exhibited is not absolutely fixed"[3]
