Marie Ségolène C. Brault is a performance artist, curator and writer based in Montreal. She is also the co-founder of Calliope, an ephemeral reading series, and Espace Maurice, a gallery apartment in the Village.
I first met Marie at Gia Vin & Grill, where I convinced them to sip $26 tiramisu martinis. Since then, I have been fascinated with Marie’s ability to just go for it, and we’ve since bonded over our love for art.
Could you start by telling me a little bit more about your practice? Both right now and also its evolution since you started.
I'm a performance artist, and a writer for the most part. At first, I was really interested in rituals in my work and ruptures and time specifically due to trauma. I had a traumatic loss in my life, and that led me to explore these moments of cognitive dissonance that happened from grief shock, and use fragmented writing to explore that sentiment, and then realize through this fragmentation that it would open up potentials for new narratives to emerge and regeneration in a certain sense creatively.
