Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery mid-October to December 2011
VOX, Contemporary Image Centre 2012 - Dates to be confirmed
Curated by Nicole Gingras, Raymond Gervais 3 x 1 is a two-part exhibition with an accompanying publication. A coproduction of the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery, Concordia University, and VOX, Contemporary Image Centre, Montreal.
Publication
The exhibition examines a significant body of work produced over a 35-year period by this Québécois artist whose practice resonates deeply with contemporary art and attitudes. Sound, image and text form the three central axes around which the exhibition addresses problematics that the artist has explored since the beginning of his career. The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated, bilingual publication that serves as a guide to a complex practice that weaves together phonography, the history of music and of literature. It draws the reader into Gervais' artistic process and his ways of thinking, and evaluates the significant influence he has had on sound-related practices.
