The pieces making up Joanne Hui’s first solo exhibit,
Life Drawing Lessons, are somewhat synesthetic in nature—that
is, they seem to grow out of a blurring of the senses. In this case
it’s a meeting of the aural and the visual, with Hui transforming
the sounds of her surroundings into organic, floral (and mineral) drawings
and watercolours. If you too become inspired after checking out the
show, you’re invited to take part in a “collectively authored
drawing garden” where you can contribute your own extra-sensory
impressions and paint a little something yourself. The show’s
part of the MAI’s Ménage à trois project, which
links up the gallery with graduate student artists from Concordia and
UQÀM. Three more artists will be featured as part of this program,
which will run throughout the upcoming year. At the MAI (3680 Jeanne-Mance)
July 3–27. :
