Préface 31

This 31rst issue of LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE’s Bulletin holds the trace of artists sensitive to their experience throughout various spaces. The development of works produced in 2006-2007 has been enhanced by meetings, discussions and collaborations which gave rise to discussions regarding locations where human lives, as well as the context in which he evolves.

These explorations on spatiality take form in various proposals. At first, the universe of the artist’s studio, its specific temporality and the type of actions taken in this location were explored. A Mexican artist turned his attention to the spaces of daily life and to man’s relation to the residual waste he yields. Sound performances inspired by artworks hailing from the Renting a work of art program (CPOA) of Musée National des Beaux-arts de Québec (MNBAQ) took place within the walls of LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE’ gallery, and then at the MNBAQ.

The great uninhabited outdoors where natural disasters arise were the subject of installations and performances that took a look at the mechanisms society uses to show us these phenomena. In a rather grandiose manner, the exhibition space was remodeled using three-dimensional shapes built in plywood, thus challenging the viewer in his understanding of the space and the object.

To conclude, it was question of urban space and the strategies human use so that its environment responds more effectively possible to his hectic lifestyle.

On the part of LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE’s collective, I wish you good reading.
