Danielle Cormier

Ephemerides

With Ephemerides, Danielle Cormier offers a series of sculptures which are displayed in the large room of Galerie B-312. Interested in the fluidity of plaster, the artist examines the process of transformation of the material. Through imprinting and molding processes, she creates objects which, placed on the ground, become space determinants. The producing process, from its liquid substance at the beginning to the solid and frozen substance at the end, informs and induces the final object. The contingencies of the material, the gestures – filling, supporting, holding or splitting – so many decisions which summon and determine the movement of the objects, from the artist's control and the unexpected that...

La rentrée—Art—The Pandemic

Much has been said since last Spring about the challenges that the pandemic poses for the performing arts. About the necessary proximity between artists and the public. Little has been heard about practices in the visual arts. However, to feel the full weight of a visual art  proposal, generated by the choices made on space, material, the connection to the body or to emotions, also requires a presence. The relationship of proximity then shifts from the artist, to the work, to the public.—The first exhibition to take place in our spaces since the gradual resumption of activities, Conversations with my family, by Rachel Echenberg, is an eloquent demonstration of this. We could imagine that her...

Naviguer en eaux troubles

When the strange knock on the well-known door, it created perceptual and psychological discomfort. Involving itself cunningly, not to say sneaky, it causes awkwardness or fear. The artists reclaim a collective and symbolic basin to better invest it with a personal aesthetic.

Dans l'intimité du leurre
eXcentrer

The trompe-l’œil is nested in the time of emergence, the time where the surprise effect leads us to poetic contemplation. It is part of a bitter-sweet seduction strategy motivated by a double game of illusion and disillusionment, truth and falsehood. The exhibition Dans l’intimité du leurre presents installational, sculptural and pictorial works that play with the thresholds of sensory perception and outsmarts the senses.

Cusiccoyllor Espinoza

Portrait #5
Conversations Montréal | Lyon — BIKINI

But the sound of a hammer in the distance prompts you to interrupt the recording. You stand up and look outside. The light fades. Your window shivers. The wind is blowing. A thin smoke emerges from a cigarette burning in an ashtray on the neighbor's windowsill.
