With a background in art, architecture and landscape architecture, Rose-Marie Goulet describes herself as a multidisciplinary artist. She has participated in exhibitions and residencies both in Canada and abroad and is a former professor at Université Laval (1972-1979) and the Université de Montréal (1985-1992). Her work stirs a kind of interaction, a journey that occurs both in the mind and in the body: an initial journey past appearances, as signs and symbols reveal a deeper meaning below the surface, and a concrete, physical journey of the observer and user who are drawn to experience the artwork. Often linked to the notion of landscape, her work is profoundly connected to its site, constantly seeking to convey the genius loci of a place. She has produced a number of works for the integration of art into architecture and the environment, including at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (1985), the J.W. McConnell building at Concordia University (1989), the École des métiers et occupations de la construction de Québec and Place du 6 décembre 1989, where she created Nef pour quatorze reines (1999) in memory of the victims of the École Polytechnique tragedy. She also developed the scenography for Don Quichotte, presented at O Vertigo Danse in 1998.
