Emmanuelle Jacques

Emmanuelle Jacques

Emmanuelle Jacques lives and works in Montreal. She completed a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts at Université du Québec à Montréal in 2004. Rooted in drawing and print-based practices, her work brings together writing and relational art. Her practice is presented primarily in the form of artist’s books and installations, and occasionally through other media such as performance, video, or sound art. Across her various projects, she has explored topics including cartography, urbanism, feminist, punk, and DIY movements, economics, invisible labour, self-management, care practices, plants, stars, interstices, indiscipline, and utopias. Grounded in specific or hyperlocal issues, and working in the manner of a field sociologist—while retaining the methodological freedom of an artist—she creates spaces of encounter that foster the emergence of micro-narratives from which a shared meaning is drawn. Her slow, process-based working methods are directly inherited from printmaking traditions, as well as from her experiences as a forestry and agricultural worker.

    Les chemins de traverse

    I want to know the movements of my fellow citizens; to see where their routes intersect; to make them feel how, by tracing their comings and goings on a map, one can project oneself into the territory and become aware of the way one perceives and understands it; to show that by emerging, this drawing can bring a better understanding of the city and its occupants.
