L'Hexacorde

Les jeudis tout ouïe
Concert

The explosion of the repertoire and the musical genre connected to the guitar, the deconstruction of the instrument itself, are at the heart of L'Hexacorde's artistic approach: they rearrange works originally created for other instruments.

Résider II

Andrea Szilasi, Annie Martin, Carmen Ruschiensky and Karilee Fuglem rented an apartment, the time to work there and to present the result of the cohabitation of four artistic minds. This time they have chosen to turn their sensibility towards a place steeped in history.

23 March to 22 April

LUCE MEUNIER—DANIEL LANGEVIN—SYLVAIN BRETON

États

In addition to being pictorial, the three proposals have another point in common: the motif is the sensitive point of the works. How can one still subscribe to the motif of tracing without being assimilated to the multiple returns to figuration that followed the turning point of abstraction?

25 February

To illuminate the night, to make it look like day, to erase the boundary between light and dark, to do the impossible in other words. In the shadow of Thomas Bégin's installation and Julie Doucet's engravings, the voices, sounds and music of multiple artists.

Spring 2003
15 May to 14 June

ANDREW FORSTER—DAVID MILLER—ISABELLE BERNIER—PIERRE GINER—SHAUNA BEHARRY

Push

Push is a consideration of how photography engages the profound violence of the modern era. What is its capacity to reflect on this relationship and what is the necessity to do so? To what extent does such a reflection reside in a work whether explicitly intended or not.

10 April to 26 April

Various Artists

Caritas 2003

18 May to 15 June

RENAY EGAMI—DAMIAN MOPPETT—MONIQUE MOUMBLOW—ANA REWAKOWICZ

HETEROSEXY

Heterosexy is a catchword that combines the idea of heterogeneity with that of attractiveness. This evocation of "attractive heterogeneity" resonates a bit in contrast to the famous Freudian "disturbing strangeness" without being opposed to it.

Spring 2001
31 March to 28 April

DAVID MCFARLANE—VIDA SIMON—JANE WILLIAMS

THE THIRD BODY

This exhibition was inspired by my experience of specific works by each artist — works that placed emphasis upon the living body in an ongoing interaction with its environment.

CHRISTINE MAJOR

LA MÉCANIQUE DES FLUIDES

Density is rarely measurable or given at first contact, at first glance. It requires time, acclimatization and perseverance. In the works presented, this density is based on an agglomerate built of and in thinness. 

Fall 1998
17 October to 14 November

ARTHUR MUNK

LES DÈS DU ROI OLAV

 For the work presented here, the artist has chosen to invest the geometrical space of the gallery by adding volumes and intervening on surfaces. These volumes can be seen as outgrowths of the place, and the interventions on the walls as a propagation of the plan and motifs of the painting.

Spring 1998
21 March to 18 April

MICHAEL GERARD MARANDA

HISTORY [AUFHEBUNG]

The installation of drawings that he proposes for the exhibition History [aufhebung] is part of a reflection on history as discourse and structural system.

Galerie Artcite 

SITE / UNSEEN
