It is a simple action to unplug – a way to stop things from meeting, to let something out or watch it drain away. The fridge in my studio was accidentally unplugged and left a puddle on the floor, slowly seeping into an experiment of plaster, food colouring and drywall. I had always intended to add water but perhaps not like this.
Petites Pièces

In the painting The Entrance, Côte invites you across the threshold.
In the series Petites Pièces lines cross the floor and run up the walls, traversing the axes of x, y, and z. They dive into the rooms and follow the intuitive instruction of their surfaces. A path emerges through the projection of layers of maps which adhere to every structure. Picturesque columns have fallen, and they now rub shoulders with fake paper plants. Within the folds of these tidy geometries, the lines reappear in thrifty colours, which leave plenty of room for drawing’s future. They will soon complete their circumambulation around the sketchy blueprints of a delicate maze.

Ludovic Cléroux: 5155 Rue d’Iberville Paintings
Curated by David Elliott Main Space
Curated by David Elliott Main Space
This exhibition is a series of oil paintings documenting Ludovic Cléroux’s studio and living
space in a converted industrial building at the corner of Rue d’Iberville and Rue Masson in
Montreal. Working directly from observation, in the process of painting and re-painting this
environment, a gently shifting world of light becomes woven into the fabric of each canvas,
creating spaces of great profundity, reservoirs for intense perception, thought and measure.
The Awakening

Under the gaze of the video camera, a group of individuals participate in a body-exploration exercises inspired by Jerzy Grotowski’s rigorous theatrical training methods. There is no choreography. The artist asks participants to perform endurance acts and guides them through a series of exploratory exercises that extend over a long period of time. This way, the artist questions not only the mastery of the technique of the body, but also the mastery and self-authority in space.
Intentional Community
Undergraduate Students Exhibition
Undergraduate Students Exhibition
Each year, the annual undergraduate exhibition aims to represent the diverse art practices and research interests occurring within the Faculty of Fine Arts. Collaborative at its core, this interdisciplinary initiative culminates in an exhibition, publication, and performance event, and combines the efforts of many students, staff, and faculty members. Writers from the Department of Art History create essays about the exhibited artworks, which are featured in a catalogue created by design students. Leading up to the exhibition, the exhibited artists also collaborate with students from the Department of Contemporary Dance to create a set of performances featured throughout the exhibition. Ultimately, the undergraduate student exhibition aims to foster community among students, while encouraging them to work together through different practices and thought processes.
