Fall 2009 & Spring 2010<\/p>\n
This fall and next spring, Centre des arts actuels Skol is introducing two surreptitious infiltrations into public space.<\/p>\n
ngg_shortcode_0_placeholderJoceline Chabot – Effacement<\/em>.<\/p>\n In the fall, artist Joceline Chabot will infiltrate the space\/time of her day job. While carrying on with her daily chores, Chabot is attempting to chart an unconventional course. Initially aiming to break the monotony of work, these ephemeral interventions represent a desire to blur the boundaries between her different activities. A kind of reconciliation of identities: artist \/ blue-collar \/ citizen \/ mother \/ grandmother \/ Montrealer \u2014 not necessarily in that order.<\/p>\n ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/strong><\/p>\n Denis Lessard – Parfums<\/em><\/p>\n In the spring, Denis Lessard will explore social stigma and taboos sanctioned by the fashion industry with an action inspired by an event experienced aboard an airplane. He will set this life-inspired gesture, or \u201fcitation,\u201d in places specifically selected to reach different audiences\u2014or no audience.<\/p>\n Each in their way, these artists explore modes of creativity and dissemination that sidestep the conventions of art production and display, while still surprising passers-by with the poetry of their apparently ordinary gestures. Centre des arts actuels Skol is proud to devote a part of its regular programming to these under-the-radar practices by accomplished artists who identify with the centre\u2019s experimental and non-commercial mandate. The depth and variety of their experiences will sustain our reflections on the centre\u2019s uses and practices throughout the year.<\/p>\n An appraisal of these interventions will take place in the form of a public meeting on Wednesday June 2, 2010. Participants include Anne B\u00e9rub\u00e9, Joceline Chabot, Denis Lessard, Patrice Loubier, karen elaine spencer, and anyone interested in issues related to the documentation of furtive practices. This conversation will serve to help understand the intentions and circumstances surrounding the extramural programming of the year gone by, which began last September, with Viva! art action<\/em> (karen elaine spencer, curator). Even though this conversation marks the conclusion of Skol\u2019s current program, it also functions as a point of continuity. Thanks to the generous Performance Art Supplement offered by the Canada Council for the Arts, Skol has invited karen elaine spencer to initiate a satellite program which will foster further reflection on these practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fall 2009 \u2013 Spring 2010
