“The recent accessibility of new technologies for artists has certainly changed the course of the history of textile art, its perspectives on textile creation and my own work. A new form was born and the weaver artist had to adapt to these new ideas and new professional possibilities. They are huge and multidisciplinary. This new situation has, without a doubt, fueled my passion for textiles.”<\/p>\n

Louise Lemieux B\u00e9rub\u00e9, a prominent pioneer in the innovative use of Jacquard techniques for weaving, was born in Montreal, Quebec. B\u00e9rub\u00e9 holds a degree in Art History from the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. She also studied Jacquard design at the Rhode Island School of Design, and computerized weaving with Olivier Masson and Fran\u00e7ois Roussel in France in the late eighties and early nineties.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9rub\u00e9 has always been fascinated by the work of artists, dancers, writers, photographers, film and multimedia artists, etc., and she has been able to incorporate their work into the imagery of her own work. B\u00e9rub\u00e9 explores a multifaceted vision of life, men and women and nature using computer-assisted techniques in which she has been involved. This way of creating allows her to use a photograph, manipulate it to produce the desired effect, and then transform it into a woven or embroidered textile. B\u00e9rub\u00e9’s work has been the subject of a video on Artspots on Radio-Canada television and articles in numerous publications. A video about his career was produced by Radhanat Gagnon in 2012.<\/p>\n

Louise Lemieux B\u00e9rub\u00e9 has exhibited her work in Canada and the United States as well as in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Argentina, China and Spain. B\u00e9rub\u00e9’s work is represented in public collections, including the Canadian Embassy in London, England; Deutsches Technikmuseum, Berlin, Place des Arts de Montr\u00e9al, Loto-Qu\u00e9bec; Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de D\u00e9veloppement des Entreprises culturelles du Qu\u00e9bec, Ville de Montr\u00e9al, and Temple Manuel Beth Shalom, Westmount, QC, as well as in numerous private collections.<\/p>\n

Lemieux B\u00e9rub\u00e9 is the co-founder of the Centre des textiles contemporains de Montr\u00e9al (Montreal Centre for Contemporary Textiles), which she directed until 2012, and where she taught students from all over the world. She works regularly with universities and schools in Montreal and gives workshops and conferences in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Japan, Taiwan and the United States.<\/p>\n

She is also the author of the textbook Le<\/em> Tissage cr\u00e9ateur<\/em> (1998), and the co-author with Carole Greene of her biography Unwinding the Threads<\/em>(2012).<\/p>\n

Lemieux B\u00e9rub\u00e9 was president of the Conseil des m\u00e9tiers d’art du Qu\u00e9bec from 1990 to 2000. From 1995 to 2009, she was a member of the Board of Directors of the Socit\u00e9t\u00e9 de D\u00e9veloppement des Entreprises culturelles du Qu\u00e9bec, as well as of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Qu\u00e9bec from 2009 to 2013.
