Sonia Pelletier

Sonia Pelletier is active within several Quebec cultural organizations in the contemporary art sector, working as a collaborator, project coordinator, art critic, curator, and independent editor. Her interests lie in ideas, politics, culture, and practices ranging from performance and intervention art to visual arts, as well as the diverse ephemeral and permanent venues where these works are presented. In addition to collaborating on numerous publications by artist-run centres in Montreal and across the province, she has written for *Le Devoir* and cultural periodicals such as *Ciel variable*, *C Magazine*, *Espace sculpture*, *Esse arts + opinions*, *Inter, Art Actuel*, and *Spirale* (where she also served as artistic director from 2006 to 2009). She was the coordinator for Éditions Artextes from 2002 to 2005 and coordinated the publication of the magazine *Ciel variable* (2011–2014). She founded and directed the publishing house PAJE (Projet Adapté à la Jeune Écriture) from 1989 to 1996, focusing on literary works, essays, comics, and exhibition catalogues. Notable works she has coordinated and directed include *ATSA: Quand l’art passe à l’action* (2008) and, more recently—in collaboration with Michel Lefebvre and Bernard Schütze—*La Société de conservation du présent (1985–1994)* (Agence TOPO, 2013). She is currently the General Coordinator of the Regroupement des arts interdisciplinaires du Québec (RAIQ).
