COZIC
COZIC is a Canadian artist duo composed of Monic Brassard (born Nicolet, Quebec, 1944) and Yvon Cozic (born 1942, Saint-Servan, France).[1][2][3] They were the province's first artist duo. They hoped to engage the public in the experience of their work by creating a tactile object. To this end, they used vinyl, plastic and other industrial materials, along with plush and feathers in their "sculpture-objects".[4]
The Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec presented a retrospective of their work in 2019. It was titled COZIC: over to You from 1967 to Now.[5][6]
In 2019 the pair received the Canadian Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts.[7][8] Their work is included in the collection of the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art[9] and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.[10]
