Frédérique Laliberté (CA)

Frédérique Laliberté is an unknown stand-up comedian, an outdated geek, and a future set designer. She does not specialize in anything, except perhaps papier-mâché. Immersing herself in adventures that are both material and narrative–taking the form of investigations, workshops, films, and performances–Laliberté tells stories in complicity with objects, materials at the end of their useful life and discarded materials. She is currently continuing her shenanigans as a research-creation PhD candidate at Université du Québec à Montréal. Frédérique Laliberté has shown her polymorphous projects internationally in white cubes, black boxes and basements, on the waters of a river, between piles of gravel in a suburban wasteland as well as in the Sahara Desert. She lives, works, and sails along the so-called St. Lawrence River.
