Life
Life
Jolicoeur was born in 1947 in Beauceville, Quebec. She received an MFA from Rutgers University. Since the 1980s, Jolicoeur has developed a multidisciplinary practice that articulates image and text within installed devices, to which video was subsequently added. Her work examines modes of representation of the female subject, drawing on varied sources, including the history of psychiatry (particularly Jean-Martin Charcot's work on "female hysteria"), anthropology, religious iconography, and photographic archives. Jolicoeur is also interested in narration, self-representation, and the performative dimensions of the voice. Her works have been presented since the 1970s in numerous exhibitions in Canada, Europe, and the United States. They are part of several permanent public collections, including those of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Musée-Château d'Annecy, as well as the Canada Council for the Arts Art Bank.
