Please join us for the Print Media Lecture Series entitled, Expanded Print Practices. This lecture series is an opportunity to hear two artists speak about their work and its relationship to printmaking and print media. For this final installation of the series, we welcome Étienne Tremblay-Tardif and Yannick Desranleau.

Étienne Tremblay-Tardif
Born in Isle-aux-Coudres in 1984, Étienne Tremblay-Tardif is based in Montréal. He completed a BA in Film Studies and Art History at the Université de Montréal (2006), as well as a BFA (2009) and MFA (2013) in Studio Art at Concordia University. His university studies were bracketed by two important student movements (the 2005 and 2012 strikes). Over the last few years, he has become involved in the artist-run-centre network, notably through the renewal of Arprim, centre d’essai en art imprimé, in Montréal. His interests include complexity and density in urban social space, multiples and artist’s books, cinéma direct, the history of architecture, critical theory and visual culture. He recently presented the projects Société-écran, Occurrence, Montréal (2014), Fonction publique, AXENÉO7, Hull, QC (2013), Bookworms, Arprim, Montréal (2012) and Hôpital-Maxime-le-Jaune, International Symposium of Contemporary Art, Baie-Saint-Paul (2012).

Yannick Desranleau
Yannick Desranleau is based in Montréal. As part of a collaborative team with Chloe Lum, he has exhibitioned in Canada and abroad, notably at the University of Texas at Austin (2015), the Center for Books and Paper Arts (Columbia College Chicago, 2015), Confederation Centre Art Gallery (Charlottetown, 2014), YYZ artists’ outlet (Toronto, 2013), the Blackwood Gallery (University of Toronto, 2012), Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal (Québec Triennial 2011), Kunsthalle Wien (Vienna, Austria, 2010), BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art (Gateshead, England, 2009), and Whitechapel Project Space (London, England, 2007). The collaborative work is in several collections, notably the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), University of Maryland Art Gallery, and BMO. Yannick is pursuing a Masters in Fine Arts degree in Sculpture at Concordia University, for which he was the recipient the Dale & Nick Tedeschi Fellowship, and was awarded research grants from the Social Science an Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and the Fonds de recherche québécois sur la Société et culture (FRQSC).
