In this stream is the full content of the magazine’s issues published since 1986, except for the most recent three years. A huge trove of content is offered for consultation and research.

The issues are presented in sections that correspond to the major periods in the evolution of Ciel variable, related to changes in the editorial team, development of its content and design, or modifications to its name and logo.

Ciel variable 115 – THE MARCH OF THE WORLD

Ciel variable 115 - THE MARCH OF THE WORLD

[Summer 2020]

The works in this special section address dimensions of human activity that have considerable significance in today’s globalized society in view of the role of technology, the use of energy resources, and respect for human rights. These complex works combine multiple voices to reflect ethical issues and their impacts on individuals and communities.

Ciel variable 114 – MASSES | MONUMENTS

Ciel variable 114 - MASSES | MONUMENTS

[Winter 2020]

In this issue’s thematic section, we look at collective action in society. Against a background of social conflict and war, the artists evoke the impact of collective actions on the common good by re-examining and recontextualizing images plucked from the mass of media images that form our relationship with the world.

Ciel variable 113 – TRANS-IDENTITIES

Ciel variable 113 - TRANS-IDENTITIES

[Fall 2019]

The artists brought together in this issue’s thematic section explore different issues related to the boundaries of sexual identity and their transgression. Personas, transvestism, and role mutations are core to these artists’ approaches, as they address various issues fundamental to establishing a society based on inclusion rather than on narrow concepts of identities and, by extension, cultures…

Ciel variable 112 – COLLECTIONS REVISITED

Ciel variable 112 - COLLECTIONS REVISITED

[Summer 2019]

Three recent exhibitions offer a rare look at the act of collecting. In Archipel, Serge Clément presents a collection of all the photobooks that he has made – books that can be seen as sequencings of collections of his own images. Bertrand Carrière immerses himself in the collection of the Cinémathèque québécoise, focusing on film noir, extracting paradigmatic images and exploring the plays on temporality inherent to the crossfade. Finally, the collection of Jack Lazare represents a rare example of a collection patiently assembled over the years to reflect a melancholic vision of a world in difficulty.

Ciel variable 111 – THE SPACE OF COLOUR

Ciel variable 111 - THE SPACE OF COLOUR, Complete Archives

[Winter 2019]

From the manipulation of light (through filtering, combination, or diffraction) to work on the supporting medium (film, photographic paper, walls) to searching out pictorial compositions on city streets, a space of exploration opens up for photography around the various manifestations of colour. The result is images that challenge our perceptions. Often, the referent for these works is abstract painting, with its long tradition of experimentation, but the real also bears its share of perceptual ambiguity with regard to the impact of colours.

Ciel variable 110 – MIGRATION

Ciel variable 110 - MIGRATION, Complete Archives

[Fall 2018]

More than thresholds, borders have become a kind of non-place – extra-national zones – where migrants’ identities and statuses are examined and their statuses held in suspension for periods that are increasingly long and undetermined. In this issue, we examine certain aspects of the crossing of borders with works that explore how migrants are received and integrated, and the identity-related questions raised by such territorial movements.

Ciel variable 109 – REVISIT

Ciel variable 109 - REVISIT, Complete Archives

[Spring-Summer 2018]

The works brought together in this issue look back at significant phenomena and events in recent history to bring them back to memory and assess their current relevance. These are prolific works, with multiple iterations, that take forms as complex as their subjects: an entire field of artistic practices, pioneering works and pivotal moments, and the multiplication of cultural artefacts that are subject to intense ideological manipulations.

Ciel variable 108 – Going Public

Ciel variable 108 - GOING PUBLIC

  [Winter 2018] This issue’s thematic section shows works that come from a wide variety of places and times, but all are marked by the notion of public visibility. These three bodies of work cover a wide spectrum of what defines the public space for artistic expression, ranging from the societal and cultural context that […]

Ciel variable 107 – RUINS

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. EDITORIAL PORTFOLIOS FOCUS EXHIBITIONS […]

Ciel variable 106 – TREES, ICE, AND CLOUDS

Ciel variable 106 - TREES, ICE, AND CLOUDS

  [Spring-Summer 2017] At first glance, the works presented here might seem to be simply about work on a motif. A more attentive look, however, shows that what is indicated here, in this focus on trees, or icebergs, or clouds, is the shaping of natural elements by human action on a landscape that has become […]

Ciel variable 105 – MONTREALITIES

Ciel variable 105 – MONTREALITIES

May 14, 2020 [originally published in Winter 2017] — The complete content of CV105 is now available online including porfolios of Robert Walker and Images of Montreal, essays about Canadian Photography Magazines 1970-1990, Jessica Eaton, Ensemble and Artgeist II, an interview with Hélène Samson as well as several recent exhibition and publication reviews…

Ciel variable 104 – FROM ANOTHER ANGLE

Ciel variable 104 - FROM ANOTHER ANGLE

  [Fall 2016] With great sensitivity and remarkable image quality, the works brought together in this section offer a renewed gaze at discredited realities and experiences. They do this by showing us people in their living environments. And yet, it is not individuals that these works offer as much as a certain order of representation, […]

Ciel variable 103 – NATURE

Ciel variable 103 - NATURE

  [Spring-Summer 2016] There are places where nature’s presence is more intensely felt, where the question of the city’s interrelations with its natural environment emerges more spontaneously. Certain circumstances are also conducive to raising such reflections – among them, sense of unfamiliarity experienced during a stay abroad, obvious deterioration in the equilibrium or beauty of […]

Ciel variable 102 – FAR AWAY, SO CLOSE

Ciel variable 102 - FAR AWAY, SO CLOSE

[Winter 2016] Globalization is making us more aware of the realities of the entire planet through news, visits, and business travel. In addition, urbanization and consumer markets are tending to bring cultures and lifestyles ever closer to each other. Even so, and fortunately, diversity and differences remain. What is more, the most radical forms of […]

Ciel variable 101 – STRATA

Ciel variable 101 - STRATA

[Fall 2015] STRATA features works by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Moyra Davey, and Marc-Antoine K. Phaneuf. The comprehension of these bodies of work assumes a peeling away of the various strata of signs that form them. ÉDITORIAL PORTFOLIOS FOCUS EXPOSITIONS LECTURES PAROLES Purchase this issue

Ciel variable 100 – REPLAY

Ciel variable 100 - REPLAY

[Spring-Summer 2015] Appropriating visual artworks, as one interprets the works in a repertoire. Judging that, among all the works that exist, these ones still resonate sufficiently in the eyes and ears of contemporary spectators to justify the reignition of their interrogatory or denunciatory spark. What do these works say? ÉDITORIAL PORTFOLIOS FOCUS EXPOSITIONS LECTURES PAROLES […]

Ciel variable 99 – HABITAT

Ciel variable 99 - HABITAT

[Winter 2015] The realm of the living includes as many habitats as ways of life. As fragments of the impossible inventory of all inhabited places, these four portfolios cross over into environments that may be real or fantasized, but are always constructed.

Ciel variable 98 – ABSTRACTION

Ciel variable 98 – ABSTRACTION

  [Fall 2014] These abstract works involving simple forms evoke methods of analogue photography to challenge the degree of veracity of the image. Imprint, inversion, and casting are some of the components transposed into other artistic media to re-evaluate our capacity to apprehend the real.

Ciel variable 97 – PORTRAIT GALLERY

Ciel variable 97 - PORTRAIT GALLERY

  [Spring-Summer 2014] Three approaches to the portrait sustained by pictorial references and knowledge manifested in chiaroscuro, framings and poses, texture and draping of fabrics, head positions, and, above all, the gazes. And techniques that ennoble their subjects.   EDITORIAL PORTFOLIOS FOCUS EXHIBITIONS READINGS VOICES   Purchase this issue

Ciel variable 96 – PERFORMING FOR THE IMAGE

Ciel variable 96 – PERFORMING FOR THE IMAGE

[Winter 2014] These three Montreal artists have in common the performative dimension of the images in their works. Bodies are staged in situations of intimacy, intrusion, or sacrifice to highlight how loved ones, strangers, and animals help to form our identity.

Ciel variable 95 – CYBER / ESPACE / PUBLIC

Ciel variable 95 – CYBER / ESPACE / PUBLIC

  [Fall 2013] The transition to the digital image regime entails a series of permutations that noticeably modify our relations with a common public space and how art is produced. Our experience of concrete spaces and temporality, as well as the distinctions between private sphere and public exhibition, between amateur and professional productions, are totally […]

Ciel variable 94 – PUBLIC ART

Ciel variable 94 – PUBLIC ART

  [Spring-Summer 2013] A thematic section on public art featuring the works of Nicolas Baier, Dominique Auerbacher, and Patrick Dionne and Miki Gingras, highlighting the issues of community affirmation in the public space and the revelation, or contestation, of its customs and regulations.

Organized by guest editor Vincent Lavoie, professor of art history and photography at UQAM, this issue continues in the spirit of some of our previous issues focusing on specific aspects of […]

Ciel variable 92 – TRUE NORTH

Ciel variable 92 – TRUE NORTH

[Fall 2012] Today, the North is making economic headlines, as it has become a new Eldorado for societies stalked by the dream of continual growth. This territory – homeland to First Nations, an ecosystem vital to the entire continent, and a vast pool of natural resources – is nevertheless mostly unknown to the general public. […]

Ciel variable 91 – OUR WORLD

Ciel variable 91 – OUR WORLD

[Spring-Summer 2012] From Alberta to Azerbaijan, from resolute Bay to mumbai, and from Oran to Johannesburg, this issue reveals images of an industrious, prosperous world that includes numerous dysfunctions and aberrations. with aesthetic strategies combining the documentary and the sublime, a multitude of perspectives, narrations, and installations, the image sometimes retreats to the background.   […]

Ciel variable 90 – COLLABORATIONS

Ciel variable 90 – COLLABORATIONS

  [Winter 2012] See the oversized faces of a city’s inhabitants emerging on its walls and façades. These people came together to find ways to reappropriate the urban space, and to advertise their presence and identity. Here, photography is a tool for affirmative collaboration.   ÉDITORIAL PORTFOLIOS FOCUS EXPOSITIONS LECTURES PAROLES   Purchase this issue

Ciel variable 89 – PLACES

Ciel variable 89 - PLACES

[Fall 2011] Being attentive to the environments that one passes through. all these passageways, these enigmatic and inhospitable spaces, all those buildings that one sees on urban access roads, sometimes abandoned, that compose a purely functional environment. This, compared to the old city, to sites shaped by time, proximity, a different pace of life . […]

Ciel variable 88 – FACES

Ciel variable 88 - FACES

  [Spring – Summer 2011] Queers, media darlings, Aboriginals, female bodybuilders, and crack addicts form a higly heterogeneous portrait gallery that challenges our ideas about identity. These unsettling images reveal unexpected strenghts or vulnerabilities, leading us to re-evaluate our perceptions. EDITORIAL PORTFOLIOS FOCUS EXHIBITIONS READING VOICES   Purchase this issue

Ciel variable 87 – SERIES

Ciel variable 87 – SERIES

[Winter 2011] Fragmented narratives, recording of traces, and role playing within the image are some of the ways in which the artists presented in this issue approach the notion of series. Systematic or scattered, the series provides a means to gather multiple images to evoke a personal universe, possible dramas, a disappearing world, or the […]

Ciel variable 86 – PERFORMANCE

Ciel variable 86 - PERFORMANCE

[Fall 2010] Historic performances are currently being updated in different forms: exhibitions, appropriations, remediations, and re-enactments. These practices raise a number of questions about the status of performance documentation (photos, videos, and films in particular) and how it is interpreted, addressed here through multiple recent examples.

Ciel variable 85 – CONFLICT

Ciel variable 85 - CONFLICT

[Summer 2010] Bombs opening up craters in streets, training camps that look like urban neighbourhoods, media perceptions of the war in Afghanistan, a look back at the riot as background for an urban renewal project… and images that use representation and fiction to try to convey these realities.   EDITORIAL PORTFOLIOS FOCUS EXHIBITIONS VOICES   […]

Ciel variable 84 – INHABITED

Ciel variable 84 – INHABITED

  [Spring 2010]   Portraits convey individualities, but they also express common conditions. Facial features, pose, clothing, and immediate environment contribute to a representation of self, but they also bring us closer to others. These images, like the photographers’ trajectories, portray uniqueness at the crossroads where cultures mix. EDITORIAL PORTFOLIOS FOCUS EXHIBITONS READINGS VOICES   […]

Ciel variable 83 - MEDIUM : MAGAZINES

  [Fall 2009 – Winter 2010] Taken as a whole, what do the images that make up a magazine say? What do their format and positioning reveal? Artists appropriate, divert, or exaggerate the content and layout of existing magazines, seeking to make manifest how the image’s share of the page is structured and tease out […]

Ciel variable 82 – PUBLIC ART

Ciel variable 82 – PUBLIC ART

[Summer 2009] Although it is rarely installed as permanent public art, photography nevertheless has a growing presence within the urban public space. More and more artistic and institutional initiatives are encroaching on the territory of advertising – posting in all its forms – to dispute this high-visibility space and offer alternative ways of looking at […]

Ciel variable 81 – MADE IN CHINA

Ciel variable 81 - MADE IN CHINA

[Spring 2009] This issue focuses on the side effects of the accelerated modernization of China: Shanghai is portrayed in an odd half-light that bespeaks the end of an era; landscapes discoloured by dust storms testify to a rapid desertification; a city that lives under water hints at vast tracts of land that have been submerged… […]

Ciel variable 78 – COLLECTING PHOTOGRAPHY

Ciel variable 78 - COLLECTING PHOTOGRAPHY

  [Spring 2008] Why does one collect photographic images? What motivates an individual to select only a few printed images from among thousands and assemble them into a collection that says as much about that individual as about his or her environment?
