France Jobin CA

Artist, composer and curator based in Montréal

The sounds of everyday life become sculptural and enveloping in the multidisciplinary work of award-winning artist France Jobin, her meticulous compositions merging analog rumblings with digital precision, modular with field recordings. Jobin has crafted high-tech experiences since the mid-’90s, intent onmining the subtleties of sound in relation to the architecture of spaces. Her experiential installation work and performances often combine musical and visual elements in a meticulous aesthetic sensibility whether solo or in collaboration. Her recurrent Immerson project at ​OBORO​ gallery in Montréal launched her into another level of performance, where concert met philosophy head on, and she curated a program of total sonic immersion performances from well known masters. Internationally, Jobin has held artist residencies throughout Europe and performed at galleries, music venues and festivals. Along with her numerous solo and compilation recordings, she’s created music for film and audiovisual collaborations, such as EVENT HORIZON​ with French visual artist Cédrick Eymenier, and ​DUO​ with RIchard Chartier. Jobin’s artistic practice evolves with each dynamic environmentshe creates, incorporating new technologies, modular components and visual collaborations.
