How To Clean Syphilis
(Français FOLLOWS) 
Since 2001, I maintained a production facility visual and sound that combines my practice in digital imaging, sculpture, and more recently in painting and video. Having dedicated my long artistic practice to explore possible relationships between the facility and new visual art and narrative, I explore today the result of the gradual deterioration of the narrative. Getting the benefit of an approach rooted out of a total and deterministic fictitious proposal, which tends towards more poetic proposals, this latest offering spasms of fiction do not fully revealing. Found in my recent productions torn traces narratives, fiction, body and especially of figures - such as icons or symbols - more abstract and subtle at once, which survive and live, in rehearsal, the images in a constellation rawest elements and stripped. 
The body occupies an important place in my work. He is ill and failed, now or concealed, once placed in a context of reflection, it represents a powerful vehicle of cultural information. The body becomes a site of reflective practices around the concepts discussed. I am particularly interested in regard to the surf and the history of the human condition, especially on matters related to the cultural history of this body in institutional sovereign or diffuse: traces and sediments accumulated pathologies societal.
The importance of the body extends into my work performance in the duet Noïzefer CWU formed by Philippe-Aubert Gauthier and myself. CWU Noïzefer explores and exploits the action, sound and video. It uses an aesthetic language of both aggressive, corrosive and poetic. This language brings garbage, rickety buildings, speech and noise amplified to raise some questions about unbridled cultural alienation, the history of representation, illusion, in art, society and the media . Site and location of practices experimentation arising Tanya St-Pierre and Philippe-Aubert Gauthier.
visual artist originally from Ottawa (Quebec, Canada), Tanya St. Pierre currently lives and works in Sherbrooke. She obtained in 1998 a Bachelor of Fine Arts from UQTR. Since 2001, production and audio visual installation - dedicated to the study and exploration of possible relationships between the facility and new visual art (and art media), digital imaging and narration - addresses themes related to the human condition and social situation. Through this production, the artist offers a look at various social ills on the representation of the body, body sick and faulty, and that by questioning the modes of representation from two large and opposite archetypes of the apprehension of the world scientific thought (or rational) and mystical thought (or magic, sometimes called archaic).
Tanya St-Pierre was the recipient of three scholarships CALQ (research and creation in visual arts and media arts) and three grants to artists ambassadors for the city of Sherbrooke. His installation work and digital imaging has been presented since 2000 in group exhibitions and two solo exhibitions in Quebec. In 2009, she had the chance to do two artist residencies in Brooklyn, New York and Quebec Medusa complex. Member of duet performers NOÏZEFER CWU, she participated in various events, arising in various contexts: in Rouyn-Noranda, Sherbrooke, Chicoutimi, Quebec, Trois-Rivieres and Montreal.
