Bilodeau and his collaborators met while studying visual arts at Université Laval in Québec City, where they completed their degrees in 1996. That same year they formed BGL which quickly gained recognition for its provocative, humorous, and often large-scale installations, sculptures, and site-specific works. The collective's practice frequently critiqued consumerism, North American culture, politics, and everyday excess through absurdist, playful, and sometimes destructive interventions-described variously as "insolent, critical, and explosive", blending performance, set design, and social commentary. From 1996 to 2021 the trio presented more than 34 individual exhibitions and nearly 100 group exhibitions in Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. BGL represented Canada at the 56th Venice Biennale with their immersive installation, Canadassimo. BGL also carried out major public art projects in Montreal and Toronto and received numerous distinctions including the CALQ Prize (Council for Arts and Letters Quebec); the York-Wilson Prize; the Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Prize, two OAAG Best Installation and Design prizes; the Graff Prize; the Videre Événement Prize in visual arts as well as the Duchamp-Villon Prize. In 2021 Bilodeau completed a residency in Nantes, France and began pursuing a solo career.
