Authors: Gabrielle Sarthou | Artists: Angela Grauerholz

[Summer 2023] Gabrielle Sarthou Occurrence, Montréal 4.11.2022 — 17.12.2022 [Excerpt] Despite its title, this second iteration of Angela Grauerholz’s installation The Empty S(h)elf, presented at Galerie Occurrence in Montréal, is not at all empty: it is polymorphous and dense, at the intersection between language and image, words and thoughts. We discover it fortuitously, as we […]

June 22, 2021 [originally published in French only in CV108 in Winter 2018] — It seems less and less possible to analyze photography and photographic history without talking about production protocols, dissemination strategies, and contexts for conservation and display in public collections. Andrea Kunard situates her undertaking in regard to this position from the start…

Angela Grauerholz, about Work + Play, an Internet Project – Jacques Doyon

Ciel variable 80 - IMAGE BANKS | Interviews
Authors: Jacques Doyon | Artists: Angela Grauerholz

[Fall 2008] by Jacques Doyon Jacques Doyon : Over the course of a photographic practice spanning more than twenty years, you have shown consistent interest in the archival aspects of images and the architecture of their storage and display. You’ve also produced artist’s books and installations reflecting on museum practices. In 2000, you organized an […]

Authors: René Viau | Artists: Angela Grauerholz, Carlos & Jason Sanchez, Chuck Close, Edward Burtynsky, Julia Margaret Cameron, Michal Rovner, Nan Goldin, Pablo Picasso, Paul Strand, Raymonde April, Sally Mann, Sarah Moon

[Spring 2008] Following a first purchase, a work by Julia Margaret Cameron (United Kingdom, nineteenth century), the Lazare family has moulded the photographic content of it’s collection over the past twenty-five years to form what is a mainly contemporary ensemble of emotionally rich portraits and nostalgic landscapes. Whether it is a poetic photograph of the […]

Authors: James D. Campbell | Artists: Angela Grauerholz

[Summer 2006] VOX image contemporaine, Montreal January 28–March 18, 2006 There are two fantasmatic limits of the book to come, two extreme, final, eschatic figures of the end of the book, the end as death, or the end as telos and achievement. ⎯ Jacques Derrida, Paper Machine1 The archive unfolds in a lush, moving and […]

Angela Grauerholz, images tirées du film Ephemeris (extraits)

Ciel variable 66 - ANGELA GRAUERHOLZ | Portfolios
Artists: Angela Grauerholz

[Spring 2005] The question today is, however – perhaps has always been – how somebody can appropriate (in fact steal) somebody else’s doing and yet make something of it that is uniquely his own. In other words, the question is not what are the models to be followed or that are being followed, but what […]

Angela Grauerholz, Épiphytes (extraits)

Ciel variable 66 - ANGELA GRAUERHOLZ | Portfolios
Artists: Angela Grauerholz

[Spring 2005] World-view and self-image are indissolubly intertwined with each other. The way man sees the world is the way he sees himself; the way he conceives himself is the way he conceives the world. Alterations in his view of the world lead to alterations in his view of himself and vice versa. ⎯ Christopher […]

Angela Grauerholz, La flâneuse (extraits)

Ciel variable 66 - ANGELA GRAUERHOLZ | Portfolios
Artists: Angela Grauerholz

[Spring 2005] There is no question of inventing the flaneuse: the essential point is that such a character was rendered impossible by the sexual divisions of the nineteenth century. Nor is it appropriate to reject totally the existing literature on modernity, for the experiences it describes certainly defined a good deal of the lives of […]

Between Heaven and Earth, the Loci and the Cosmos: At Work in the Reading Room for the Working Artist – Cheryl Simon

Ciel variable 66 - ANGELA GRAUERHOLZ | Essays
Authors: Cheryl Simon | Artists: Angela Grauerholz

by Cheryl Simon The relation of language to the world is one of analogy rather than of signification; or rather, [the value of words] as signs and their duplicating function are superimposed; they speak the heaven and the earth of which they are the image. Language possesses a symbolic function; but since the disaster at […]

[Fall 2002] This article was originally published only in French. You can read it by switching over to the French version of this page.

Ciel variable 50 - APPROACHING THE PLACE | Exhibition reviews
Authors: Gary Michael Dault | Artists: Angela Grauerholz

[Spring 2000] by Gary Michael Dault Power Plant, Toronto from December 11, 1999, to February 20, 2000. Given the scope and ambition of the two photo-works that Angela Grauerholz presented recently at Toronto’s Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery (which extend the inventiveness of her photo-installations for Documenta IX and the 1995 Carnegie International), it is […]

Angela Grauerholz – Jennifer Couëlle

Ciel variable 31 - UNTITLED | Exhibition reviews
Authors: Jennifer Couëlle | Artists: Angela Grauerholz

[Summer 1995] Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal January 27 to April 23, 1995 Expectations arc necessarily high for internationally recognized artists like Angela Grauerholz. High, and not always easy to meet. While the body of work of an artist should not be judged by any single exhibition, retrospectives excepted, certain exhibitions can be of disservice […]
