Research interests/expertise

In 1991, the Commission GEDEON Commission was born. The C.G.C. is the agent provocateur of Mr. LeBlanc's cultural enterprises.  It offers a philosophical space that allows for the incorporation of the ideas and the identities of the artist and his processes.  The C.G.C. encompasses the young artist's influences, his inspirations coming mostly from literary, cinematographic and televisual spaces.  The C.G.C. seeks to eliminate the cult of the personality, the ivory tower and the notion of the absolute originality of the creator of visual culture. 

The Commission GEDEON Commission has exhibited work in Acadie, Québec, Ontario, France and the United States.


Teaching

Since 1992, Pierre N. LeBlanc has taught photography, printmaking and digital imaging first at Concordia University, then at the Université de Moncton and today at Grenfell Campus, the west coast campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland.
