ccdMalvina, new in 2026<\/em><\/p>\n Body Territory is an outdoor contemporary art trail presented at ccdMalvina (Malvina Creation and Presentation Center, Saint-Malo, Estrie) as part of the 2026 season. It brings together prints, sculptures, sound installations, poetic interventions and performative traces by Sean Caulfield<\/a><\/em>, Domingo Cisneros<\/em><\/a>, Thom Gossage<\/a>, Liz Ingram<\/a>, Bernd Hildebrandt<\/a><\/em> and Isabelle Van Grimde<\/em><\/a>. The trail is free and outdoors<\/strong>, open on the public event dates<\/a> listed on our website.<\/p>\n Body Territory<\/strong> is a trail where the land itself becomes at once a site of creation, a living memory and a space of transformation.<\/p>\n Bringing together prints, sculptures, sound installations, poetic interventions and performative traces<\/strong>, this trail gathers several projects developed at ccdMalvina around the relationships between body, environment, memory and contemporary technologies \u2014 including Essential Links: Body and Environment<\/a><\/em> and Art, Technology and Territory<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Throughout the visit, the territory itself becomes the work: a place where memory, the living world and contemporary creation remain in dialogue.<\/p>\n The trail brings together the practices of Sean Caulfield<\/a><\/em>, Thom Gossage<\/a>, Liz Ingram<\/a>, Bernd Hildebrandt<\/a>, Domingo Cisneros<\/a>, Ana Rewakowicz<\/a><\/em> and Isabelle Van Grimde<\/a><\/em>, along with the many collaborators who, over the years, have helped make the Malvina territory a shared site of creation.<\/p>\n The most recent phase of the trail \u2014 created for the 2026 season \u2014 features a series of collaborative works by Sean Caulfield and Isabelle Van Grimde<\/strong>. Inspired by reflections on anatomy, landscape, interdependence and impermanence, these new works extend the dialogue between the human body and the living world that runs throughout the trail.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Designed to evolve with the seasons and the elements, several interventions treat time itself as a creative medium. Rather than resisting transformation, they make it visible \u2014 revealing the fragile connections that bind living beings to their environment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Curators<\/strong>: Isabelle Van Grimde and Thom Gossage<\/p>\n Artists<\/strong>: Sean Caulfield, Domingo Cisneros, Thom Gossage, Liz Ingram, Bernd Hildebrandt, Isabelle Van Grimde<\/p>\n Performative Traces<\/strong>: Emmanuelle Martin, Isabelle Van Grimde<\/p>\n Collaborative Works 2026<\/strong>: Sean Caulfield and Isabelle Van Grimde<\/p>\n Ecological Trail Design<\/strong>: Sentiers Bor\u00e9al<\/p>\n Production<\/strong>: Van Grimde Corps Secrets \/ ccdMalvina<\/p>\n Located on the site of the former village of Malvina (Saint-Malo, Estrie, Qu\u00e9bec), founded in 1862, ccdMalvina is the research, creation and presentation centre of Van Grimde Corps Secrets<\/a>.<\/p>\n About 40 minutes from Sherbrooke and 2h15 from Montr\u00e9al, the site offers each summer a free outdoor program<\/a>: immersive trails exploring heritage, contemporary creation, ecology and technology, as well as performances, participatory workshops, talks, artist residencies and festive events throughout the summer season.<\/p>\n Getting to ccdMalvina<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfolding across fields, forests, and rivers, the trails of the ccdMalvina are experienced in harmony with the rhythm of the landscape.
