Colette Laliberté’s idea-based practice of abstraction encompasses drawings, paintings, projections and site-specific interventions. In a free public presentation Wednesday, she will discuss her artwork, which examines how technology, place and space contribute to shaping the environment and affecting our ways of thinking and behaving.

An associate professor at the Ontario College of Art and Design University, Laliberté is the recipient of visual grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Art Council and Toronto Arts Council. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

Her presentation, hosted by the School of Creative Arts, begins at 2 p.m. April 6 in room 115, LeBel Building.
