Description en Anglais seulement
An exhibition of experiential installation work by five artists, four of whom form two separate collaborative entities. They all explore fantastical or fictional realities rooted in a mixture of performance, excess and the hyper real.
Jacinthe Loranger – In the Season in the Abyss We Reign in Blood
In opposition to the banality of everyday life, Loranger’s work offers a luminous, unhinged alternative world where every excess is a blissful celebration. Her constructed narratives compose a multi-layered framework of a mystic quest, creating her own mythology derived from a patchwork of cultural references.
WIVES COLLECTIVE – You, Me, Desert: Forever
You, Me, Desert: Forever is a docu-fantasy shot by the collective WIVES during a 10-day getaway to the Mojave Desert. The twenty short videos come together as a cryptic narrative of two alienated but hilarious Canadian women wearing fur coats in the desert. Executed with a task- like frankness, their actions understate their hysteria: so many layers of lipstick… burning hair… watering dead bushes… making an alcoholic man-dummy named Rod and bringing him to the local saloon to sing karaoke duets with… They appear to feel heartache, but for no one in particular. They are alienated by their own extreme heart-on-sleeve behavior but succeed in finding a way for their unabashed bodies to imprint themselves somewhere with recourse.
