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 […]

CV100! . . . And what comes next?

Ciel variable 100 - REPLAY | Editorial
Authors: Jacques Doyon

Publishing a contemporary art magazine specializing in photography in 2015 is more relevant than ever. Simply think of all the magazines, galleries, exhibition centres, and events (Mois de la photo and photographic encounters of all kinds) that exist and are being created all over the world around the photographic image. Of course, the time has […]

Authors: Jacques Doyon | Artists: Adad Hannah, Althea Thauberger, Chuck Samuels, Denys Arcand

Appropriating visual artworks, as one interprets the works in a repertoire: here, a sculpture by Rodin, self-portraits of famous photographers, and a play whose writing is attributed, as part of the fiction, to an author of another era. Judging that, among all the works that exist, these ones still resonate sufficiently in the eyes and […]

Ciel variable 100 - REPLAY | Portfolios
Authors: Sébastien Hudon | Artists: Adad Hannah, Denys Arcand

May 28, 2019 [originally published in CV100 in Spring 2015] — As far back as 2002, multidisciplinary artist Adad Hannah was citing a work by French sculptor Auguste Rodin in his own work. It has been thirteen years since he produced Stills, composed of video captures of Rodin’s first bronze, The Age of Bronze (1877). At the time, no one would have guessed that this was the first manifestation of Hannah’s unique and constant fascination with the Parisian master…

May 22, 2019 [originally published in CV100 in Spring 2015] — Chuck Samuels: In Before the Camera, you presented yourself in drag to look at the female nude in the history of photography; in Psychoanalysis, you appeared as both the Norman Bates and the Marion Crane characters; in Before Photography, you assumed the roles of photographers in film stills from a specific era…

“Photo Season” at the MNBAQ: What Photography for the Museum? – Pierre Dessureault

Ciel variable 100 - REPLAY | Essays
Authors: Pierre Dessureault | Artists: Bryan Adams, Geneviève Cadieux, Lida Moser

May 13, 2019 [originally published in CV100 in Spring 2015] — “The nineteenth-century dispute over the relative artistic merits of painting and photography seems misguided and confused today”. Does Walter Benjamin’s statement, dating from the 1930s, put a final stop to the debate over whether photography naturally belongs in museums?

Michael Snow’s Bent: Image distortion in 1956 – Robert Fones

Ciel variable 100 - REPLAY | Essays
Authors: Robert Fones | Artists: Michael Snow

May 8, 2019 [originally published in CV100 in Spring 2015] — As a child, I learned from a book on cartooning that my mother bought me that a cartoon character’s body could be distorted or exaggerated to express astonishment or alarm. I vividly recall an illustration in the book of a character with eyes popped out, jaw dropped to the navel, and the whole body stretched vertically…

Richard Mosse, The Enclave – Zoë Tousignant

Ciel variable 100 - REPLAY | Exhibition reviews
Authors: Zoë Tousignant | Artists: Richard Mosse

May 6, 2019 [originally published in CV100 in Spring 2015] — One would have to be a seasoned cynic to be indifferent to Richard Mosse’s film installation The Enclave (2012–13). Visually, it is an impressionistic, six-screened montage of beautifully lurid hues of hot pink; politically, it reveals a heretofore unseen side of the conflict that has ravaged the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1998; and theoretically, it raises fundamental questions regarding the meaning and function of images of war…

April 1, 2019 [originally published in CV100 in Spring 2015] — In the fall of 2014, the Pompidou Centre inaugurated a new exhibition space devoted to photography.
