Ciel variable 37 - THE PLACE | Editorial
Authors: Franck Michel
[Winter 1996-1997] by Franck Michel CVphoto, as our readers have undoubtedly noticed, has been progressively acquiring a new image; we have improved the overall graphic layout and made some changes to the cover page. As of this issue, the space allotted to exhibition reviews has been expanded. From now on, we will be able to […]
Ciel variable 36 -"POETIC" PHOTOGRAPHY | Editorial
Authors: Franck Michel
[Fall 1996] by Franck Michel Not one day passes that the media don’t mention the issues of globalization, internationalization, and disappearing borders. Our planet is, after all, becoming quite small. Starting with this issue, CVphoto has decided to join in the party. From now on, this magazine will no longer deal exclusively with photography from […]
Ciel variable 35 - DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY | Editorial
Authors: Robert Legendre
[Summer 1996] by Robert Legendre Recently I perused, not for the first time, La Matière, l’ombre, la fiction,1 a catalogue published to accompany the exhibition of the same name presented in the Colbert Gallery of the Bibliothèque nationale de France in 1994 and 1995. Jean-Claude Lemagny, the exhibition curator, wrote most of the texts in […]
Ciel variable 34 - UNTITLED | Editorial
Authors: Robert Legendre
[Spring 1996] by Robert Legendre “Each person’s fate is linked to the source of his or her dignity.”1 And at the moment, CVphoto’s dignity is to survive with pleasure. That is why we are starting, with this issue, to publish texts the content of which will no doubt interest all of our readers. We believe […]

Authors: Robert Legendre
[Winter 1995-1996] by Robert Legendre Since it was invented, photography has evolved constantly. The portfolio presenting some of Ginette Bouchard’s work published in this issue of CVphoto, as well as Carol Dallaire’s in issue 32, provides me with a pretext to reflect on the orientation toward a new technology. There has been a quiet movement […]
Ciel variable 32 - UNTITLED + SUPPLEMENT | Editorial
Authors: Robert Legendre
[Fall 1995] by Robert Legendre Major artistic events both in concept and in scale, the MOIS DE LA PHOTO events are biennial exhibitions held in a number of big cities around the world. For the past eight years, under the auspices of the Vox Populi group, Montreal has been Canada’s host city for this event. […]
Ciel variable 31 - UNTITLED | Editorial
Authors: Robert Legendre
[Summer 1995] by Robert Legendre Money can’t buy happiness: it allows one to suffer comfortably!1 CVphoto began its bilingual venture as of issue 24. Initially, we published translated summaries of our French and English articles, then we became more ambitious and opted for complete translations. Although satisfying, the enterprise proved to be costly. With the […]
Ciel variable 30 - UNTITLED | Editorial
Authors: Marcel Blouin
[Spring 1995] by Marcel Blouin Onee again, the words “budgetary cuts” are on the rise. My commitment to the field of photography has been active since 1980, and it seems to me that these words, synonymous with worry, have been uttered for the thousandth time. With the exception that this time, however, the abyss into […]
Ciel variable 29 - UNTITLED | Editorial
Authors: Robert Legendre
by Robert Legendre What follows is a request for moral support. The board of directors and editorial committee of CVphotois seeking the sympathy of certain supporters of the arts, of photography in particular, and of its contributors. As readers of the magazine, you too may voice your support and appreciation. We would very much appreciate […]
Ciel variable 28 - PHOTO, SPECIFICITY, ECLECTISM | Editorial
Authors: Marcel Blouin
[Fall 1994] by Marcel Blouin Over the past 10 or 15 years, the medium of photography has found its way into the fields and definition of visual arts, contemporary arts and post-modernism. Not only did photography find its way, but it acquired both a privileged and considerable place in contemporary artistic production. Its letters patent […]
Ciel variable 27 - PERSONAL DIARIES | Editorial
Authors: Robert Legendre
[Summer 1994] by Robert Legendre May 6, 1994 I seem to recall a short piece published a few weeks back in the Montreal newspaper La Presse. It alleged that certain members of the board of directors of the Université de Montréal were discreetly reaping fringe benefits, over and above their considerable emoluments. May 7, 1994 […]
Ciel variable 26 - DOCUMENTARY | Editorial
Authors: Robert Legendre
[Spring 1994] by Robert Legendre Dear Jacques, Dear Luc, In CV Photo‘s recent editorial (No.26), Marcel Blouin discussed the lack of perceptiveness (and lack of open-mindedness and of culture, I might add) of certain journalists, critics, essayists and thinkers in the analyses they make of art — in general, and that which has come to […]
Ciel variable 25 - UNTITLED | Editorial
Authors: Marcel Blouin
[Winter 1993] by Marcel Blouin Art is looking for itself. Does not art look for itself and question itself? Would it be more accurate to say, rather, that art helps to throw light on the human being who is looking for himself? In a time when no one, anywhere, wishes to question things indeed, even […]
