HyeKyong Yun

Vernissage: Friday, November 14th, 2008, 5 to 8 pm

This exhibition is an objectification of HyeKyong’s self-portraiture onto other subjects. Its focus is on Asian males in their twenties; not yet men, but no longer boys. The loss of communication between the human being and the environment that surrounds him as he searches for his identity is exposed by the subject’s melancholy: a deep emptiness in his facial expression and gesture as he interacts with the world around him.

November 23rd 5pm. A project where three multidisciplinary artists (a musician/actor, a photographer/set designer, and a dancer/performer) play on stage in ways to interface together in an emergent process. Using a custom software, made to explore time-warped audiovisual renderings of what is being done on stage (through microphones, cameras and projectors explicitily manipulated by the performers—no technician involved), the artists explore freely a number of precisely defined situations (scenes). All this to question the notions of the perceived, the absolute, the error in their respective practices and platforms, putting the interacting bodies at the forefront of the discourse.

All levels are welcome from first time amateurs who want to try the basic drawing exercise to professional artists honing their skills.

For 15$, you get small group sizes, a professional and experienced model, and perfect lighting and temperature. Most importantly a comfortable and creative atmosphere is assured. Plenty of red and white wine, cheeses, nuts etc. will be served. So come ready to eat, converse, drink and draw!

November 23, 8pm: The Rémi-Jean Leblanc with special guest Yannick Rieu on tenor saxophone

The group is composed of four exceptional Montreal based musicians. The influences, mostly deriving from jazz, funk and pop music, create a distinct ensemble sound because of the unique musical background of each member.

The music, deeply rooted in groove, is greatly generated by improvisation and spontaneity while always respecting the intricate arrangements. The melting pot of influences offers an exciting direction in the music filled with many colors, dynamics, and textures.
