In this 36th issue of the Bulletin, the four selected artists have transformed LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE’s environment through various landscapes and ambiance. The season kicks off with artist Camporesi who’s interested by the nature crisscrossing Quebec City. The landscapes that she presents take various shapes which juxtapose nature to digital technology.
The temporality of the employed mediums (the set time as well as the time of the filmed sequence) reveals panoramas complexified by the transformation imposed by the artist.
The notion of temporality is also present in Pablo Rasgado’s work, the second artist presented here. He explains in a short video the research he has undertaken to ‘’extract the ghosts from the past’’, the archives and the artist centre’s walls. Author Dominique Lepage transports us into a reflection on the artist’s experience within the walls of the gallery. Her thinking addresses the way in which the artist uses the walls that become the artifacts of old exhibitions, thus revealing the past through recovered traces. It speaks of a temporal presence, linked to the history and memory of the place.
Takao Minami meanwhile invites us inside a road movie staging his own reality of the walker roaming Christophe-Colomb’s street along LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE. He takes us walking on this street, thus forcing the video to embrace his gait, his rhythm like music.
Through various film referents, author Guillaume Lafleur questions us on the relationship sustain with the territory we cross, conjuring up the superpositions of the route travelled by the artist.
To conclude this bulletin, the interview of Marc Dulude by Pascale Bédard allows us to glimpse the mind space of the artist. We meet his vision of art and creation.
We enter a state of mind where the production and reflection time gather in a single location; the experimental workshop put in place by the artist during his residency.
