Re-Politiser Borduas
Oli Sorenson
La performance d’Oli Sorenson découpera plusieurs reproductions des tableaux de Paul-Emile Borduas qu’il a produit en examinant des jpeg trouvés sur Internet sans respecter toutes leurs qualités matérielles. Par cette combinaison de gestes à première vue iconoclastes, l’artiste vise à renflouer l’aspect contestataire de ces œuvres faisant maintenant partie intégrale des traditions artistiques québécoises. Avec ces copies lacérées en performance, Sorenson souhaite que les originaux soient de nouveau réinvestis d'une impression controversée pour le regardeur, une expérience visuelle qui sera sans doute plus fidèle à la réception initiale de ces peintures, devant leur premier public des années 1950.
Vernissage: samedi, 7 octobre, 17 h à 23 h
La galerie est ouvert 5-15 octobre from 12 h - 20 h
L'exposition est gatuite

***
For his performance, Oli Sorenson will cut into several reproductions of the works of Paul-Emile Borduas, which he executed simply by examining jpeg found on the Internet, and unfaithfully respecting their material features. Through this combination of gestures that appear at first glance iconoclastic, the artist seeks to reclaim the provocative properties of these works, which now constitute an important segment of Quebec's artistic traditions. His performance to lacerate copies also intends to rekindle the originals with their controversial roots, and a visual experience that may be closer to the initial reception of these paintings, first shown publicly in the 1950s.
Vernissage: Saturday, October 7, 5 - 10pm
The gallery is open on October 5 - 15, from 12 - 8 pm
The exhibition is free

What if you entered an empty rehearsal hall and suddenly an audience appears? Joseph Ste-Marie brings his experimental scripted/improvised one-man show, This Show is Broken back to the stage! This remount blends the 2021 Digital Theatre production from the Montreal FRINGE Festival and the original 2015 production at the 2nd annual Shortstanding Festival. Ste-Marie must perform his show as he explores his life, struggles, missteps, and tries to show that it’s not too late to pursue your dreams…. However, Joseph is challenged to be honest with himself so his show can be authentic as possible without being blinded by ambition.
