Parallel to his artistic practice, he<br />
has pursued investigation in the<br />
field of anthropology. His fieldwork<br />
includes ethno-musicography of<br />
the Fetish ritual in Togo (1986),<br />
oracular imagination among<br />
healers in the Peruvian Amazon<br />
(1993-95), and concepts of<br />
creativity and imagination among<br />
contemporary artists (M.A. thesis,<br />
2002). Ethnographic imagination is<br />
an important characteristic in his<br />
artistic work.<br />
Although his work has been<br />
presented in museums and<br />
galleries (Marche de Nuit hosted by<br />
the Montreal Contemporary <strong>Art</strong><br />
Museum, 94; « Quelle belle<br />
journée pour mourir ! », Méduse<br />
1997), its appearance in the<br />
context of gallery exhibition is<br />
relatively new (2004). Nevertheless,<br />
at the end of 2011 his work will<br />
have been included in 15 solo and<br />
more than 20 collective shows. Half<br />
of these have been in international<br />
exhibits.
