Sensory recreation
by Genevieve Paiement
Two artists have set up shop in the Maison de la culture Frontenac with the goal of playing with your sensory perceptions all summer long. Working with found and recuperated objects and materials, Michel Sévigny's 10 works that comprise Poussières d'espace involve sound and touch. Sévigny's sculptures, paintings and sound works all point to our ever more intimate and tactile relationship with technology.
Joëlle Morosoli's kinetic installation Lézardes consists of three, deeply fissured white walls in motion. The movement creates a sense of tension in the viewer as the walls appear to be falling down. This sense of nervousness related to the fissures, according to Morosoli, recalls the worried stare evoked by a lizard about to fall off a wall. Go figure! At 2550 Ontario E. until Aug. 25. Info: 872-7882.
