Julie Tremble

Julie Tremble is a French-Canadian artist living in Montreal, Quebec. She has held coordinating positions in a variety of cultural organisations in Quebec and Ontario. Since 2015, she has headed Vidéographe, the Montreal-based artist-run centre focused on moving images.

Art Tremble primarily works as an animator and in experimental video, with a particular interest in narration. Her work bridges the gap between abstraction and the reality of every day objects. It is part of a movement that includes Stéphane La Rue, Alana Riley and Pierre Ayot. As a professional artist, she has been represented by the Joyce Yahouda Gallery.

Tremble's work has been exhibited across Canada and internationally, and she is the 2013 recipient of Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) award for best work in art and experimentation presented as part of the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois. She had a 2015 show called La colonne bleue. Tremble was also one of several artists featured in the Push and Pull exhibition, which ran in October and November 2016. Another one of her works was La capacité du télescope à choisir parmi les modèles de l'univers. The work was on display at the Galerie B-312 during a one night event featuring contemporary art in Belgo. Her short 3D film titled BMP 37093 was part of the show. The filmed showed the death of a star and its subsequent transformation.

At the Magog River, one of her video works was also displayed. This work was created with Philippe Hamelin for Espace [IM]Média. The installation came about as a result of her work at the La colonne bleue show, where people inquired if she would be interested in doing outdoor installations. Since 2015, she has headed Vidéographe, the Montreal-based artist-run centre focused on moving images. Vidéographe is an artist run non-profit. According to Tremble, this was done at the request of the artist and was not a form of censorship as a result. The magazine is co-published by six Canadian artist-run centres. The magazine publishes original illustrations by international artists. HB No 6 (Hors Page) was accompanied by an exhibition at Centre Clark.

Since the fall of 2015, Tremble has held the position of Director at Vidéographe in Montréal. Her appointment was based on her work as coordinator of Montreal's open-access art centre articule and as director of Le Labo, the French-language art centre in Toronto. She has also gained experience through her work for Ontario's Media Arts Network.

Background Tremble is a French-Canadian living in Montreal, Quebec. She has a Master's in Film Studies from the Université de Montréal.
