From Quebec, Julie Andree-Trembley has been actively engaged in performance art actions and events from the early 90's including intervention and dance related projects in Montreal and Europe. The artist will work from midday culminating in a definitive performance at 18.00. As Trembley says of her work for trace: :..when actions such as walking , talking and making sound are performed within a context where a clear imprint of action is left within a space in which it was produced, one can see a real cohesive relationship between action and matter. As if the echoing of human gesture possesses a valuable and sensitive continuum, even within the smallest of traces.

Julie Andree-Trembley represents a new generation of emerging artists from Quebec who have been invited by trace: as part of a Wales-Quebec exchange project that will further develop over the next three years. In partnership with Le Lieu, Centre en Art Actuel, trace: is producing a long term programme that will include a Quebec performance event in Cardiff in 2003 and a Welsh performance event in Quebec in 2004. This will also include a number of educational and writers exchanges.

The trace: Wales-Quebec exchange initiatives are supported by Wales Art international and the offfice of the Government of Quebec in London.
