Fossilation
<span class="not-set">(not set)</span>
Fossilation (2021) is a practice-based art and design research project, a research-creation project. It involves a collective of researchers and student-researchers from three leading institutions in the development of research-creation: Concordia University (Montreal, with the international network Hexagram and Milieux Institute), the École des Arts Décoratifs (with its EnsadLab laboratory and its Arts and Sciences Chair) and the University of Toronto Mississauga. Research-creation makes it possible to approach complex subjects representative of our current world by implementing means and a reflexivity that would be difficult to envision for a single person, for an artist with a monopoly of authority. Research-creation calls for a rethinking of the role and place of artists at a time when cooperation between humans, and, also, other than humans, is more necessary than ever.
