"Une idée, des mots," (2022) by Clara Cousineau
Art Volt Collection at Plural
We are proud to announce that the Art Volt Collection will be at Plural this year, as part of the new Pavilion Spaces section! This new initiative presents project spaces as well as atypical or emerging galleries.
We will present works by Clara Cousineau and Francis Macchiagodena, but will also be there to represent all the other artists and practices that are part of the Art Volt Collection.
Esse x Art Volt Writing Residency
We are happy to share the result of the second participant in the Esse x Art Volt Writing Residency: “Pedagogical Entanglements”, an essay by Marcela Borquez.
“During my residency, I was drawn to authors who initiated conversations regarding how our ways of doing and thinking permeate beyond singular artworks toward the ways we conceive ourselves as artistic communities, shaping our practices, narratives, and institutions. The texts I discuss evidence a drive to generate opportunities for dialogue and encounter that necessarily asks us to consider whom we address through our work. This, in turn, entails a recognition of the other and their voice, a redistribution of power through the possibility of enunciation.”
Bouclair Residency in Digital Arts
The 2nd edition of the Bouclair Residency in Digital Arts is here, and we are excited to launch the second of three exhibitions at Bouclair!
The second resident to exhibit is Alice Gaboury-Moreau (BFA, 2021). Her work COMING OVER will be presented at Bouclair's Griffintown location from March 18th to April 28th 2024.
