DITA KUBIN - MONTRÉAL

Dita Kubin (exposition solo - Solo Exhibition)

Sous la peau / Underneath skin

Sous la peau présente pour la toute première fois un nouveau corpus de travail en cours de réalisation de l'artiste Dita Kubin.

Se prenant comme unique sujet des oeuvres, l'artiste photographe s'est aventurée à capter des facettes de sa vie privée dans le but d'explorer et d'étudier le combat universel fondamental qu'est la confrontation avec soi-même.

Vernissage : 3 Septembre, 17h00-21h00

---

This new body of work (in progress) by artist Dita Kubin is being presented for the first time for public viewing. Alone, the artist ventures into the recording of her private life, aiming to explore and study the difficult and fundamentally universal struggle of confronting oneself. Dita does this via working with photographic self-images, hoping to reveal the relationship she has to her body and to discover what, if any, transformative processes unfold as a result of the image making process and, more specifically, the reviewing of the images.

Vernissage : September 3rd, 5 p.m. - 9 p.m.

FOR THE BLIND MAN IN THE DARK ROOM LOOKING FOR THE BLACK CAT THAT ISN'T THERE - ST. LOUIS


CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM ST. LOUIS PRESENTS
For the blind man in the dark room looking for the black cat that isn’t there

In September, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis presents its most ambitious group show since its grand opening six years ago. For the blind man in the dark room looking for the black cat that isn’t there starts with the premise that art is not a code that needs cracking. Celebrating the experience of not-knowing and unlearning, the artists in this exhibition understand the world in speculative terms, eager to keep art separate from explanation. Embracing a spirit of curiosity, this show is dedicated to the playfulness of being in the dark.

Artists: Anonymous, Dave Hullfish Bailey, Marcel Broodthaers, Sarah Crowner, Mariana Castillo Deball, Eric Duyckaerts, Ayse Erkmen, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Rachel Harrison, Giorgio Morandi, Matt Mullican, Bruno Munari, Nashashibi/Skaer, Falke Pisano, Jimmy Raskin, Frances Stark, Rosemarie Trockel, Patrick van Caeckenbergh, David William. Catalog designed by Will Holder.

For the blind man in the dark room looking for the black cat that isn’t there is curated by Anthony Huberman, chief curator of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.

For the blind man in the dark room looking for the black cat that isn’t there will travel to an additional American venue, and a slightly modified version of the exhibition will simultaneously travel to three European venues:

CONFÉRENCE D’ARTISTE: vendredi, le 4 septembre à 19 h 30
VERNISSAGE: vendredi, le 4 septembre à 19 h


L’entrée est libre!

L’artiste torontois Yam Lau cherche à explorer des moyens d’expression et de présentation spatiaux par le biais de ses projections vidéo. Il réussit à compliquer l’espace et à l’élargir au moyen d’une combinaison de segments temporels, de l’espace plat et de la forme tridimensionnelle. Dans cette exposition, il explore l’espace de la maison traditionnelle chinoise Hutong qui disparaît peu à peu à cause de l’urbanisation.

Biography:

Dans son travail, le professeur Lau explore de nouvelles expressions et des aspects de l’espace, du temps et de l’image. Cette exploration est à la croisée de plusieurs moyens d’expression comme la peinture, l’animation et la vidéo numérique. Il est très impliqué dans la communauté des arts locale. Certains aspects de sa pratique, comme par exemple l’utilisation de sa voiture comme d’un espace en mouvement perpétuel pour réaliser ses projets, sont pensés en fonction de susciter la participation communautaire. Il a exposé à l’étranger et a remporté plusieurs prix des conseils des arts du Canada, de l’Ontario et de Toronto. Il publie régulièrement des textes sur l’art et le design. Lau enseigne présentement à l’Université York. Il fait partie du conseil d’administration de YYZ Artists’ Outlet et du Centre de l’art contemporain canadien.
