News and reviews of current and past sculpture and installation exhibitions at the Belgo.
Usually on entering an exhibition space we expect to find works to look at and consider. This is only partially true of Peter Flemming’s new show, Instrumentation, at Centre des arts actuels Skol. Flemming, who describes himself as a “folk machinery artist”, here exhibits five works that create, project and alter his created electro-mechanical...
Richard Mill‘s Recent Paintings now on exhibition at Galerie Trois Points fuse sculpture and minimalist painting, contrasting the flat surface of his canvases with the geometric, three-dimensional aspects of the found objects he includes in his œuvre. Architectural elements dot the exhibition space, such a a slender wooden arch spanning the ends of a...
Georges Audet‘s Labyrinths, currently on show at Galerie Joyce Yahouda, are three-dimensional puzzles. Inspired by the environment of his own artist’s studio, Audet created four self-contained environments where floors become ceilings and walls become doors, in a harmonious yet disorienting amalgam of materials. He re-constructs space, folds it, and re-arranges it, by transposing pieces...
Marie-Eve Fortier created a lyrical, cryptic installation at Les Territoires titled Points de Suspension, using nothing but words, glass, and mirrors. Simple phrases, and sometimes only single words, are printed on small strips of paper and sandwiched between sheets of glass stacked on top of a series of wooden plinths. Her interventions are minimal,...
The Centre des arts actuels Skol has transformed itself into a hothouse of innovation. Rather than showcasing the products of artists’ creativity, Skol is inviting the public to become creative themselves. The project Promiscuous Infrastructures is a playhouse for innovators, thinkers, tinkerers, debaters, creators, poets and artists. Everything is laid out for you: meeting...
To mark their 20th anniversary, Galerie B-312 invited five artists to create a series of artworks based on the gallery’s twelve comment books. These unassuming, black-cover hardback books are the silent witnesses of two decades of art exhibitions, vernissages, and workshops. They may contain anything from a simple signature to a verbose critique, a...
At the core of Michael Doerksen‘s enigmatic sculptural works, currently on show at Galerie Lilian Rodriguez, are the materials and objects the artist uses to assemble his structures. Doerksen combines Hydro pole fragments, flower petals, and moss, with plaster replicas of ice cream cones and doughnuts, repurposing their meaning and obliquely hinting at a...
This week’s selection of four noteworthy artworks on show in the galleries of the Belgo building focuses on the artists’ skilled use of the monochromatic palette. Clockwise from top left: Roberto Pellegrinuzzi at Pierre François Ouellette Art Contemporain, Joe Lima at Galerie Nicolas Robert, Jannick Deslauriers at Galerie SAS, David Gillanders at Galerie Trois...
Just one more click. Just one more page reload. Then you’ll have found what you’re looking for, then it will be enough. But it never is. This feeling of never being satiated when prowling for entertainment on the internet is the basis for the exhibition pr0n, currently on show at Galerie Pangée. The term...
The exhibition Possession currently at Galerie SAS is artist Laurent Craste‘s curatorial debut. You may be familiar with Craste’s exquisite porcelain and installation works which have been exhibited at Circa and Galerie SAS in recent years. Now for the first time he is taking on the role of curator, and the concept of this...
