The multidisciplinary artist Dominique Laquerre has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Québec, Mexico and France. She has created many public art pieces for the Government of Quebec’s Integration of the Arts, Architecture and the Environment Program and her art is found in private and corporative collections. In 1989, Dominique Laquerre was Artist in Residence at the Na-Bolom Foundation in Chiapas State, Mexico, a research centre for Central American ethnology and ecology directed by the photographer and activist Gertrude Blom. Her art has been included in the Coup de coeur exhibition at “Entrée libre à l'art contemporain” in Montreal in 1990 and also at the first “International Exterior Sculpture Show of Montreal” in 1992. Also in 1992, her art was included in a group exhibition of five emerging Quebecois artists at the Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico. In 2001, she participated in the Oeuvres d’arbres colloquium and its resulting exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Pau, France. In 1992, she co-created the project Échelles réduites with Daniel Jean, which was composed of ephemeral installations situated in a wooded area which was destined to have a line of High Tension Wire Towers erected through it. This forest in Chesterville, the artist’s home, has been saved from that fate since then and has become Laquerre’s principal site of artistic creation. Since 1999, she has created Family Tree, Reference Marks and Life Line, three process-centred artworks created over several months incorporating public participation. The process-artworks of Dominique Laquerre address collective memory and the bonds that human communities weave with their environment. Dominique Laquerre received the «Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec » prize for the Central Québec region in 1998.
