Some RoomAlexandre David
September 10 – October 10, 2009
Opening Thursday September 10 @ 8pm
Some Room, by Alexandre David is an exhibition consisting of an architectural space split in two. It is based on a simple differentiation between a space one can only look at and a space one can move around in. In a way, this is similar to what we experience every time we walk on the street and look through a window, or walk into a building and look at the ceiling. Our everyday architectural sensations are a necessary background for his work in sculpture. David does not reference architecture as a subject but makes work that relies on the way we walk through doorways with ease, walk alongside walls, turn corners and sit on benches for example. He works with standard heights of ceilings, tables, benches and steps. For this project, the grunt gallery space will be reorganized for the duration of the exhibition in a way that combines a very clear architectural experience with the sensibility that this is just one possible architectural intervention, or thought, among many.
Alexandre David lives and works in Montreal. He mainly works in the field of sculpture, and his projects often relate to architecture. His work has been shown in various museums and galleries in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and France. In 2006 he was awarded the Louis-Comtois Prize, given to a mid-career artist by the city of Montreal. He has recently exhibited his work in solo exhibitions at Optica and Dare-Dare in Montreal and La Chambre Blanche in Quebec City. In 2009 he exhibited his work at Aceartinc in Winnipeg and took part in the show Base Camp at Truck in Calgary. He will also be taking part in the upcoming show Off the Wall at Concordia University’s Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery in Montreal.
