Dans le but de rendre notre lieu de travail plus vivant, nous avons demandé à des artistes de notre entourage de nous prêter quelques unes de leurs œuvres. Ça rajoute des couleurs, et ça peut aussi contribuer à leur donner de la visibilité, étant donné le nombre et la variété de gens qui passent par chez nous.
Afin de mettre un visage sur les œuvres qui ornent maintenant nos murs, nous avons eu l’idée d’entreprendre une série de portraits d’artistes, accompagné d’un petit texte de présentation pour chacun.
We were lucky to host one of Dan’s pieces at the studio and it was nice to see the whole exhibit as every piece had a soul of its own. Every board is a collage of elements taken from old Eastern European countries travel flyers, creating a Republic that never existed. They were compiled through the travels of the artist’s grandmother. It evokes both family and history, adding another depth of signification to the show. The artist has also created a video and has collected different elements in an installation showcasing objects from the daily life in the Republic.
The Republic of Mira proposes a reflection on the rise and fall of a republic that never existed. The exposition consists of a series of hand made collages inspired by various promotional documents from the old Soviet Union Bloc.
Close to the studio, there’s a little park where we can spend some time to take a breath of fresh air during lunch time. Today we had a guest shooter at the studio, so we decided to head out and go chill in the park with friends Jerome Guibord and Adrien Baudet. Great guys, good beer, good times!
First of all, thanks to all of you who were there on friday. Je voudrais pas parler à travers mon chapeau but I think we had over 200 people there. Ok maybe 150. Who knows. Our studio was wonderfully decorated with pieces from local artists like Josianne Poirier, Jérôme Mireault, Dan Popa, Pascal Brousseau, Isabelle Malenfant and Anna Binta Diallo. We were even able to get a nice sponsorship from Dieu du Ciel who were kind enough to help us on our very last minute request.
So there we go with the only three pictures we took (if you have any please don’t be shy and share) and a big thanks, again, to all of you.
Pour ceux qui sont venus hier et qui se demandaient de quoi avait l’air nos installations de l’extérieur voici un vidéo fait la veille de notre lancement.
Un gros merci à Élisabeth pour la réalisation des stencils format géants.
