exhibition views
L'Espace VOX
and Le Mois de la photo à Montréal present
a exhibtion wich bring together works from four artists
around the theme "Now. Images of Present Time".
Now
that the photograph has ceded its monopoly over the
depiction of factual history to visual forms more expedient
in relaying the shocks of current events, what "experience"
of the present are we brought to through contemporary
photography? From local dramas to international news,
from miscellaneous trivia to historical records, how
do contemporary photographic practices interpret what
is going on around us? Taking note of the historical
legacy of photojournalism and its spin-offs in the field
of contemporary artistic practice, the 8 th presentation
of Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal intends to take stock
of the most innovative artistic approaches to the representation
of events.
