ART MATTERS : WIDE FOREST


Opening :  March 10th, 2017 from 7Pm to 10PM
Exhibition : March 5th to 18th, 2017 


Artists: Jenna Ladd, Alejandro A. Barbosa, Amanda Lee, Antonin Fisette, Beatrice Scharf-Pierzchala, Dany Floyd, Georgios Varoutsos, Philip Gagnon, Rihab Essayh 
Curators: Valerie Bourdon, Diana Lazzaro

From the ruins of our previous civilization, the wire forest rises, gains roots from metal, creatures from light, and hums from buzzing coils. Conquering over old life, it feeds on what is dead and ruined, assimilating it into the living and new. In the breeze of white noise spread by rusted old radios, glints of our previous world resurface, but their data is corrupted beyond repair, leaving wandering mysteries of what once roamed the earth. In this world, technology has replaced the organic; it has become nature in the process of bringing forth the primordial reconstruction of Earth.

REGIMEN | AMANDA VINCELLI

Opening : Thursday March 30th, 201, 5PM
Installation in public spaces : March 30th to April 30th, 2017 /

* Stay tuned for more details about locations!

Regimen (2015) reflects on processes and outcomes of diagnosis and normalizing perceptions of health. It asks: what is natural? Who and what can we trust? These questions are explored through the medicinal regimens of one hundred women, ages 21 to 35 — specifically, the motivations behind their often-changing consumption of or abstention from pharmaceuticals, supplements, vitamins, and recreational drugs.

The project is comprised of photographic portraits of each woman, still lifes of the medicines they each consume (if any), and written/audio testimonies explaining their respective motivations.

The project focuses on the medicine consumption of women because this is an area where they face special pressures, particularly around reproductive health and body image. Crucially, the project came into being in urban centers — New York, Amsterdam, London, Montreal and Los Angeles, from late 2014 through 2015 — where young professionals are subject to high productivity standards. For as much as Regimen is a project about young women, it reflects on a general pressure in ultra-competitive societies for people to outperform their natural dispositions. It also captures people approaching health care like online research—synthesizing diverse, sometimes contradictory, sources into a health care philosophy

In 2017, the subjects’ testimonies will be heard in single public restrooms across the city of Montreal. At once common and private, this environment recalls our experience with medicines— a space where one is confronted with the self and the limitations of the body.
