With videos by Dorion Berg, Julie C. Fortier, Dominic Gagnon, Philippe Hamelin, Adad Hannah, Christopher Hills-Wright, Lydie Jean-Dit-Pannel, manon laBrecque, Laura Jeanne Lefave, Etienne de Massy, Steven Woloshen and Owen Eric Wood.

Vidéographe’s first event of the new cultural season, this program brings together works from our collection under the theme Kaleidoscope. A selection offering a variety of sensations, optical impressions and video techniques.

Subliminal images, dreamlike and hypnotic plunges that at times verge on the epileptic, are produced by a series of collages, superimpositions, mirror effects, fragmentations and sequencing. A thousand video palimpsests for your viewing pleasure.

The program closes with a counter-weighted work that significantly slows down the pace of images per second and the blinking of our eyes.

“Nelson Henricks’ work is very unique and emblematic of what contemporary artistic practices have to offer. A way of being in the world that at once unmistakably inscribes itself in the present, while acknowledging what has built it, nourished it, stimulated it, made it, so to speak. By developing this language that is so singular to him, Henricks has made a very significant contribution to the evolution of video art in Canada.  In addition to the extraordinary quality of his work, Henricks has made a generous contribution to his community. A contribution that unfolds in many ways, from supporting the development of young artists’ practice in institutional or non-institutional settings, to enriching the discourse around the works of his peers, to contributing to the influence and balance of Montreal’s visual and media arts ecosystem.”

 

– Excerpt from the presentation text for Nelson Henricks’ nomination for the Prix Robert-Forget 2024.

Monograph : Work – Nathalie Bujold

PUBLICATION

2024



Publication of OUVRAGE/ WORK 

This monograph, the result of a long period of study delving into Nathalie Bujold’s body of work over more than thirty years, brings together her most emblematic works. The authors whose essays appear here have closely followed her explorations or consider her artistic approach in a spirit of discovery and adventure. Their gaze, both probing and playful, is reflected in their relevant, enthusiastic writings about Bujold’s multidisciplinary and multimedia practice, now focused particularly on video production. The questions they raise cut across disciplines, prompting us to re-examine certain specific aspects of the foundations of her oeuvre. In turn, Dominique Sirois-Rouleau, Nathalie Bachand, Sylvain Campeau, and Édouard Monnet write about works with content related to the concepts of the object, the motif, the image, time, and movement intrinsic to the making of Bujold’s “books.” Taking us through time and including the artist’s incorporation of new technological tools, this nonlinear, often light-hearted overview encourages us to browse and constantly piques our curiosity about the forms of a vision constantly renewed by movement and the fragmentation of the object.
