FANNY LATREILLE: YOUTH PAVILIONS
September 5th – October 19th, 2019
Opening September 5th, 5:00 pm
Project description
Fanny Latreille considers herself to be more of a propagator than a creator, and her research-based practice draws from history, cultural studies, and sociology. Testimonials, borrowed imagery, and co-operation form the raw materials for her work.
Her exhibition titled Youth Pavilions focuses on the parallel experiences of today’s millennials and the people involved in the revolutionary youth movements of the 1970s. At Skol, her installation centers on a video made up of interviews with members of collectives from both eras on the subject of communal life.
The artist would like to thank Michael Blum, Charlie Marois, Joël Morin-Ben Abdallah, Luc Morissette, Alyssa Symons-Bélanger, les résidents du Récif, André Ouellette, l’atelier CLARK, family and friends for their unwavering support.
