Ciel variable 107 - RUINS

[Fall 2017]

The artists whose works are brought together here under the theme of ruins are interested in capturing the traces of a disappearing world, a world in which the evolution of the photographic image is symptomatic of a more fundamental transformation of culture and social values as a whole.

Authors: Jacques Doyon

[Fall 2017] The artists whose works are brought together here under the theme of ruins are interested in capturing the traces of a disappearing world, a world in which the evolution of the photographic image is symptomatic of a more fundamental transformation of culture and social values as a whole.

The artists whose works are brought together here under the theme of ruins are interested in capturing the traces of a disappearing world, a world in which the evolution of the photographic image is symptomatic of a more fundamental transformation of culture and social values as a whole.

Michel Campeau, The Donkey that Became a Zebra : histoires de chambre noire – Joan Fontcuberta, Fire, Prayers and the Place of Photography

Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Portfolios
Authors: Joan Fontcuberta | Artists: Michel Campeau

[Fall 2017] By Joan Fontcuberta [Excerpt] What remains of photography in the era of post-truth and the selfie, of Facebook’s indiscreet rear windows and the Sirens of consumerism, emojis, and spam? Who will intone the elegy for the art of light? Just when we thought we had all the answers to the enigma of our […]

André Barrette, Fin de Siglo – Alexis Desgagnés, Fin de siècle in Cuba

Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Portfolios
Authors: Alexis Desgagnés | Artists: André Barrette

[Fall 2017] By Alexis Desgagnés [Excerpt] André Barrette likely never wanted his art in the spotlight. That is why, outside of the community of artist-run centres in Quebec City, relatively little is known about his discreet but important contribution to Quebec photography landscape in recent decades. Yet, from his obvious affection for cultural manifestations that […]

Joan Fontcuberta, Trauma – Sylvain Campeau, Autopsy of a Disappearance

Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Portfolios
Authors: Sylvain Campeau | Artists: Joan Fontcuberta

January 19, 2021 [originally published in CV107 in Fall 2017] — It has often seemed to me that Joan Fontcuberta’s particular aesthetic involves two complementary aspects.

Authors: Guillaume Lafleur | Artists: Emanuel Licha

January 12, 2021 [originally published in CV107 in Fall 2017] — We are seeing more and more experimental documentary cinema at festivals, at which the programming naturally includes a fair dose of representation of geopolitical issues. Although environmental issues are core to this new trend, this is only one facet of productions that also explore both older and current forms of the film essay…

January 6, 2021 [originally published in CV107 in Fall 2017] — Three solo exhibitions (Katia Kameli, Délio Jasse, and Vasco Araújo) organized in London late in 2016 featured episodes from African and European history, particularly during the colonial period, in which the artists used “traces,” mainly photographic corpuses dating from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, updated via different media and devices…

Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Essays
Authors: Pierre Dessureault

December 22, 2020 [originally published in CV107 in Fall 2017] — The NFB’s Still Photography Division was created in 1941, as a Canadian government information agency under the direction of John Grierson. By 1985, when the small unit’s production, now a collection of photographs, became the core of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Division had produced some 250,000 images…

Vide et Vertige – James D. Campbell

Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Exhibition Reviews
Authors: James D. Campbell | Artists: Ivan Binet, Jocelyne Alloucherie, Mathieu Cardin

November 24, 2020 [originally published in CV107 in Fall 2017] — This exhibition of works by Jocelyne Alloucherie, Ivan Binet, and Mathieu Cardin was brilliantly dovetailed in terms of theme – the constructive notion of “vertigo” and the viewer’s experience in space, with an understanding of void as presence rather than absence – and installed with consummate finesse in mortise-and-tenon fashion from floor to floor in all the gallery spaces…

A Handful of Dust – John K. Grande

Ciel variable 107 - RUINS | Exhibition Reviews
Authors: John K. Grande

January 20, 2020 [originally published in CV107 in Fall 2017] — Everything vanishes and yet it all remains, changed somehow, interpreted differently: ashes to ashes, dust to dust. A Handful of Dust is a show that has a mysterious point of departure that is as much about the ambiguities of art in photography as it is about the way art fuses, morphs, reinvents conceptions, how it is a process long before and after realization…
