[peekaboo_content name=”inter5″]<\/p>\n From November 6 to December 11, 2010, Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle<\/em> presents its traditional International Digital Miniprint Exhibition<\/em>. This 5th <\/sup>edition, under the supervision of Line Dezainde<\/strong>, curator, is a collection of works from Hungary, France, Mexico, Algeria, the United States, England, Poland and Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n Under the theme D\u00e9connexion imminente (Disconnection Imminent)<\/em>, about forty artists are questioning the role played by technology within the art production sphere. In the accompanying catalogue, the curator observes that three principal themes are present through the body of work: “social isolation caused by technological dependence, the fragmented identity and the human body caught with technology.” According to her, these artworks are a true reflection of today’s reality.<\/span><\/p>\n The opening of the exhibition and the catalogue launch will be held Saturday, November 6 at 1 p.m. at Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle<\/em>, located at 81 Beechwood Avenue, in Vanier. The gallery’s regular hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/peekaboo_content]<\/p>\n Chantal Gervais<\/p><\/div>\n <\/span><\/strong>From September 18 to October 26, 2010<\/span> [peekaboo_content name=”gervais2010″]<\/p>\n Through her artistic practice, Chantal Gervais<\/strong> explores mortality and the body as the site of a lived experience. Inherently theatrical, yet sensitive, her photographic and video work explores the passage of time on the body and how our perception and understanding of the body is influenced and altered by popular culture, art, science and medicine.<\/p>\n With her recent project Les maux non dits<\/em>, the artist, awarded the Duke and Duchess of York Prize in Photography in 2002, granted by the Canada Council for the Arts, plays simultaneously the role of examiner and examined subject. Self-portraits created with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and composite images of numerous flat bed scans of her body question the usage and the effect of these technologies on our understanding of the body, the bodily experience and the concept of self and other.<\/p>\n [\/peekaboo_content]<\/p>\n Jos\u00e9 Luis Torres<\/p><\/div>\n From July 10 to August 17, 2010<\/span> [peekaboo_content name=”torres2010″]<\/p>\n Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle<\/em> presents, from July\u00a010 to August\u00a017\u00a02010, an in situ installation by Jos\u00e9 Luis Torres<\/strong>, titled G\u00e9ographie informelle<\/em> (Informal Geography). The work showcases a precarious space configuration which traces the accidental outlines of a spontaneous landscape<\/em>, as mentioned by the artist. A symbol of a territory playing the role of sanctuary, but seemingly cut off from the exterior world, the installation invites the viewer to an experience both physical and intellectual, through diversified relations of proportions and scales.<\/p>\n Jos\u00e9 Luis Torres was born in Argentina, where he obtained his Master\u2019s degree in Sculpture at Cordoba\u2019s Provincial Fine Arts Academy. He participated in many residencies, as well as numerous individual and collective exhibitions in Canada and internationally.<\/p>\n [\/peekaboo_content]<\/p>\n Chantal Dahan<\/p><\/div>\n Doris Lamontagne<\/p><\/div>\n [peekaboo_content name=”aubin2010″]<\/p>\n From May 8 to June 15 2010, Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle<\/em> showcases the work of four artists using photography and performance to translate the social and cultural reality of our time.<\/p>\n With his project Aller-retour<\/em> (Round trip), Raymond Aubin<\/strong> combines photographic shooting and the writing of haiku poems to dive back into his youth and childhood. Therefore, he establishes a dialogue between these two creative and distinctive forms, including contents that complete rather than illustrate each other.<\/p>\n Chantal Dahan<\/strong> was born in France and is now established in Pontiac, a mostly anglophone Quebec community, with a francophone minority. Her body of work presents real and imagined narrative scenarios that reflect “the Pontiac reality”.<\/p>\n With a traditional and unaffected approach to photography, Doris Lamontagne<\/strong> explores the borders defining human and natural spaces, as well as the effect of these frontiers on their occupants.<\/p>\n Through her performances, Belinda Campbell<\/strong> creates stimulating characters, which act as provoking agents, whose actions stem from complex concepts such as meditation, violence, humour and melancholy. Her project is a collaboration with Association des groupes en arts visuels francophones (agavf.ca) and Viva! Art Action (vivamontreal.org)<\/p>\n [\/peekaboo_content]<\/p>\n Izabel Barsive<\/p><\/div>\n From March 13 to April 20, 2010<\/span> [peekaboo_content name=”barsive2010″]<\/p>\n Can the integrity of video artwork shown on the Web or on television be compromised? Transmitted out of the control of their author, to what fate are these works devoted? Izabel Barsive<\/strong>, visual artist, independant video maker and professor, questions the fragile relationship she maintains with the broadcasting industry and its platforms, in her exhibition Une\u00a0minute\u00a0pour\u00a0un\u00a0carr\u00e9\u00a0blanc<\/em> (One minute for a white square), presented at Centre\u00a0d\u2019artistes\u00a0Voix\u00a0Visuelle<\/em> from March\u00a013 to April\u00a020,\u00a02010.<\/p>\n With one-minute excerpts of transformed videos (by censure processes, for example), she examines the role played by television and Web broadcasters, as well as the role of the artist. According to her, the latter can consent to all kinds of compromises in exchange for one or many minutes of glory, glory inexorably ephemeral since also subjected to oblivion in the hubbub of virtual images polluted by advertising.<\/p>\n [\/peekaboo_content]<\/p>\n Florence Debeugny<\/p><\/div>\n From January 16 to February 23, 2010<\/span> [peekaboo_content name=”robichaud2010″]<\/p>\n From January 16 to February 23, Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle<\/em> will exhibit the work of Florence Debeugny and Lise Robichaud, two artists reflecting, on the one hand, on the influential manifestation of an ordinary element in the urban environment, and the other, the evocative capacity of a site, in this case, the one housing Voix Visuelle.<\/p>\n Florence Debeugny<\/strong>, with her photographic body of work Precaution<\/em>, questions the impact of the synthetic yellow ribbon onto which is inscribed Caution, seen on construction yards and industrial places, uncovering at the same time the general notion of the forbidden. Lise Robichaud<\/strong> draws her inspiration from materials linked to the subjects of habitation and memory to extract their autobiographical potential. Black cloth, cedar shims and rose petals constitute the clues scattering the installation M\u00e9moires intimes d\u2019une grande maison<\/em>.<\/p>\n [\/peekaboo_content]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From November 6 to December 11, 2010 International Digital Miniprint 5 [peekaboo name=”inter5″ onshow=”- Close the press release” onhide=”+ Consult the press release”] [peekaboo_content name=”inter5″] From November 6 to December 11, 2010, Centre d\u2019artistes Voix Visuelle presents its traditional International … Continue reading
