English followsAvec la complicité de l’artiste animatrice responsable des ateliers des Impatients Alexandra Perras-Chenail, la graveuse a partagé avec les participant.e.s durant plusieurs semaines de l’automne 2025, sa technique pour ralentir, voire, arrêter le temps et faire émerger une diversité de matières. En transmettant ses gestes de création, elle a installé une relation réciproque où s’échange un lot de savoirs humains, relationnels, techniques, esthétiques ou du quotidien.
L’exposition rassemble les créations des participant.e.s des ateliers des Impatients au MAC LAU dont une partie a été produite à l’Atelier de l’Île, Centre de production en arts imprimés. L’exposition présente également une œuvre du corpus de Marylise Goulet produit dans le cadre de cette recherche-création. Cette exposition est réalisée en collaboration avec l’organisme Les Impatients et la Fondation de l’Hôpital régional de Saint-Jérôme.
Phytology: reciprocal care between artist Marilyse Goulet and Les Impatients
By reconnecting with native plants and other living beings from which she had been cut off during the pandemic, engraving artist Marilyse Goulet quickly realized the urgent need to care for ecosystems, which she approaches in her practice as “environments of knowledge.” Among these ecosystems, she became interested in wetland environments, but also in the Impatients groups that meet at MAC LAU every week to engage in creative activities. From phytology, Marilyse Goulet has adopted a creative approach that promotes health and well-being—her own, of course, but also, more broadly, that of her generation and those that will follow.
With the help of Alexandra Perras-Chenail, the artist-facilitator responsible for the Impatients workshops, the engraver shared with participants over several weeks in the fall of 2025 her technique for slowing down or even stopping time and bringing out a diversity of matter. By passing on her creative techniques, she established a reciprocal relationship in which a wealth of human, relational, technical, aesthetic, and everyday knowledge was exchanged.
The exhibition brings together the creations of participants in the Impatients workshops at MAC LAU, some of which were produced at the Atelier de l'Île, a printmaking production center. The exhibition also features a work from Marylise Goulet's corpus produced as part of this research-creation project. This exhibition was developed in collaboration with Les Impatients and the Saint-Jérôme Regional Hospital Foundation.
