Publications

Maria Eichhorn. Film, vidéo, œuvre sonore by Nora M. Alter — Eichhorn pushes the limits of what conventionally constitutes an artist’s role—she often steers institutional forces in an attempt to subvert their logic.

Alain Declercq. Embedded versus Wildcat by Nina Folkersma — The artist is in town for an event devoted to conspiracy theories. His project follows the odyssey of a secret agent seeking answers to questions raised by the events of September 11, 2001.

Migration Areas —Raymonde April and Michèle Waquant in a interview by Chantal Boulanger.

Iain Baxter& N.E. Thing Co. by Marie J. Jean — This exhibition offers a rereading of the practice of Iain Baxter&, with a particular focus on the aesthetic agenda of the N.E. Thing Co., a conceptual enterprise founded by Baxter& in 1966 in Vancouver.

Le système de l'allusion by Marie J. Jean — Thus allusion is used by all the artists in this exhibition to posit a relationship between the work and its reference, so as to have their meaning rest on experience models that we are likely to recognize.

An interview of Jocelyn Robert by Marie Fraser.

Nathalie Melikian by Olivier Asselin — Because the film is replaced by its description, its images by text, there is little to see in these works. But they leave much to the imagination. The melodramatic words, sounds, and music, obviously produce many mental images.

The Space of Making by Marie J. Jean — The work of the twelve artists in the present exhibition makes visible the real and illusionistic mechanisms involved in the production of photographic space.

Hannah Collins by Vincent Lavoie — La Mina is an extension of Hannah Collins’ previous photographic work, particularly that work in which the constructed environment is represented in light of cultural transmutations.

Fabulation by Marie Fraser — Rather than seeing a moment of apparition and unveiling of the image, as suggested by the metaphoric passage between sleep and consciousness or dream and reality, the artists here portray situations that arise from reality and transform it into the imaginary.

Awakening by Marie Fraser — Today, can the image still awaken us to something that is not already in the world, something that is not already constituted in images?

Michel François. The Liberated Eye by Chantal Pontbriand — Michel François’ work’s, one might say, is indefinable, since it navigates from one world to another, one support to another, one space or territory to another...

Species of Spaces by Chantal Grande and Marie-Josée Jean — The task of exposing space, of bringing it to light – the task, put another way, of analysing the visibility of the material objects around us – is the common thread running through this exhibition.

Dirk Braeckman. z.Z.(t) by Gregory Salzman — Dirk Braeckman’s art associates the senses of sight and touch. In his art, sight finds no clear aim or definite object and undergoes a certain blindness.

Lieux anthropiques by Claudine Roger — Qu’il soit paysage naturel ou espace urbain, architecture ou intérieur, le lieu demeure encore aujourd’hui le thème de prédilection de jeunes pratiques contemporaines.

Vera Greenwood. L’hôtel Soficalle by Anne Bénichou — During a stay in Paris in the winter of 1997–98, Vera Greenwood undertook a strange activity: she began to tail the French artist Sophie Calle.

Roy Arden. Selected Works 1985–2000 by Marnie Fleming — Roy Arden’s art work, in its subject matter and mise en scène, makes visible the “conflictual aspects” of urban and suburban life...

Doug Hall. Landscapes and Leisurescapes by Anna Novakov — Meticulously executed cityscapes and leisurescapes dominate Doug Hall’s exhibition...

Life in Real Time. Slow Motion by Marie J. Jean — How a new perception of time, characterized by simultaneous actions and instantaneous effects, affects our individual realities1.

Life in Real Time. Quick Mode by Élène Tremblay — The subjection of human beings and their environment to ever-increasing speed is not a new phenomenon, but in recent decades it has undergone astonishing acceleration…
