Catalogue for the exhibition in which the artists proposed to decode the colour of words in order to bring out the "graphic-phonic" connections between the drawings and objects on display using an alphabet called the Couronne (Crown). Only by examining the Décodeur (Decoder) can visitors read the chromatic circles presented.Cozic was born into the visual arts world in the 1960s of the combined work of Monic Brassard and Yvon Cozic. This duo of Quebec artists brings viewers into contact with art in a playful and participative manner. For more than thirty years, Cozic's dedication to a greater "socialisation" of materials and its empathetic attention to forms have enabled it to define the outlines of a singular body of work, in which the art object becomes a relay to domestic objects. Drawing its motifs from everyday sources, Cozic creates artistic interventions which join humour and poetry. Includes an essay by Marie-Eve Beaupré. In English and French.
