The publication collects materials produced during <em>The<\/em> <em>Unknown Artist<\/em> programming presented from January to June 2011, in addition to an essay by curator and author Bernard Sch\u00fctze, and an illustrated transcription of artist Sophie Castonguay\u2019s interventions.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Unknown Artist<\/em> proposes a reflection on the figure of the artist as conceived and announced by Sch\u00fctze: \u201cIt was about imagining another sort of figure for the artist; a figure not bound by the imperative of signatory authority and the recognition dividends of the critical or economic variety; a figure that reveals the workings of a distributed artistic agency, which diffuses and decenters authorship.\u201d As the corpus of the Unknown Artist revealed itself progressively over the course of the programming, we discover, upon its materialized outcome in the form of this publication, a figure that is both exploded and whole, productive in the absence of clear objectives, and always surprising as it eludes our expectations. We discover an artist who is temporarily rid of the impetus to seek notoriety, and dedicated to the examination of an unknown figure: its agency, its undetermined creative processes, as well as its status.<\/p>\n<p>The editors wish to thank the following participants in the constitution of <em>The Unknown Artist<\/em>: Faiz Abhuani, Fortner Anderson, Gentiane B\u00e9langer, Alexis Bellavance, Christian Bujold, Nicole Burisch, Sophie Castonguay, Fran\u00e7ois Deck, Genevi\u00e8ve Dulude-Decelles, David Gagnon, Dominic Gagnon, Gabrielle Giasson-Dulude, Thomas Grondin, Patric Lacasse, Michelle Lacombe, Chantale Laplante, Fran\u00e7ois Lemieux, Sophie Le Phat Ho, Mathieu Marcoux, Alex Megelas, Catherine Melan\u00e7on, Marc-Antoine Phaneuf, Catherine Plaisance, Chlo\u00e9 Poirier-Sauv\u00e9, Nathalie Quagliotto, Felicity Tayler, Patrick Ward, Sarah Wendt, Dustin Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>The publication was produced with funds from Skol\u2019s operating budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 18, 2013<br \/>\nPublication Launch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5732,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[51,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-past","category-programming","nom-anne-bertrand","nom-bernard-schutze","nom-francois-deck","nom-patrice-loubier","nom-sophie-castonguay"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
