Select group exhibitions

[edit]
  • Quebec Biennale Manif d'art 10, la Bande Video gallery, Staring at the Sun, an immersive experience that produces lingering images, illusions of movement and chimeric colours in the spectators’ minds.[7][8]
  • WAVE POOL, Field Projects, NY Constructions 5 – Ruby's Mirages, and Paracosm M – The Sun Meets the Moon , stereoscopic photographs questioning and exploring the limits of our perception through buzzing illustrations of landscape and open ocean.
  • 'L'instabilité du réel' (2019), Papier art fair, Monica Reyes Gallery, Montreal, curated by Thi-My Truong, touring exhibition across Quebec.[9]

Select solo exhibitions

[edit]
  • 2019 Second Sight, AC Institute, New York, NY "By working with extensions of the eye (lens, camera, moving image), Briard is able to shift from the imaginary to the nature of “reality" and media itself."[10]
  • 2018 Pop-Up Home, New Westminster Museum and Archives[11]
  • 2017 Paracosmic Sun, Back Gallery Project, Vancouver[1] "The work in Paracosmic Sun projects and presents multiple temporal states simultaneously, states of seeing and not seeing, and also states where sight extends beyond the normal range or perception."[12]
  • 2016 Staring at the Sun, Joyce Yahouda Gallery, Montreal[13] In his review of the exhibition, art critic Edwin Janzen states that "for the visitor, a subtle questioning of sensory perception and reality is certainly the result."[13]
  • 2016 Vision Trouble, La Maison des Artistes, Winnipeg[14]
  • 2013 The Woods, VIVO Media Arts Centre, Vancouver[15] "The psychology of agency and rebellious obedience are what comes to mind in engaging with this technological art piece."[16]
