“Le grand verre”

Maryse Arseneault

July 26 to September 24 2021

Galerie Françoise Chamard-Cadieux (Centre culturel Aberdeen)

Le grand verre : daily drawings and songs for traffic

"Le grand verre” is a reflection on alienation and self-determination, a survey of the limits of the living body and of our relationship to non-human objects. It is also a commentary on our individualistic values in a colonial and capitalist context. A collection of daily drawings, oil studies and an edition of intaglios, the exhibition will be accompanied by spontaneous interventions in urban spaces, where the artist sings her song for the passing traffic.

August 13 to 31 2021

Imago Gallery, Centre Culturel Aberdeen

Ten years of the Acadie Rock Festival represented by 10 visual artists: Alisa Arsenault, Jacques Arseneault, Mathieu Léger, Angèle Cormier, Angie Richard, Marjolaine Bourgeois, Frédéric Gayer, Jennifer Bélanger, Emma Delaney and Blake Morin. Each artist was randomly assigned an edition of the festival (2012 to 2021) to inspire their work. Using visuals, images, videos, posters and programming, the artists were given carte blanche to create a poster reflecting the spirit of each year of the festival.

The posters will be on display on Imago’s gallery wall on the first floor of the Aberdeen Cultural Centre from August 13th to 31st. The vernissage will take place on Friday, August 13 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, followed by Maryse Arseneault's exhibition and the inauguration of the 2nd floor art gallery at 5:30pm.
