Hélène Sarrazin (born in 1954) lives and works in Montreal. She has been active as an installation artist since the early 1980s. Her work has been shown in numerous group and solo exhibitions in venues such as Le Lobe, Chicoutimi; L'Écart, Rouyn-Noranda; Galeries Trois Points and Skol in Montreal; and M.J.C. d'Annemasse, France. She has received a number of awards and participated in the Young Canadian Artist Program in Banff in 1983. While her work is to a large part sculptural --- concerned with materials, surfaces and the spectator's position - her more recent art includes sound of which Mater/Materia (1999) is a most engaging example. She is currently pursuing a newly formed doctorate in the Study and Practice of Art program at Université du Québec à Montréal.
