Sightings I: Inundations
April 5 - May 18
A project by Anne-Marie Proulx, with artworks by Raymonde April
Anne-Marie Proulx is interested in the effects of accumulation and regrouping of photographs in Raymonde April’s artistic practice. In the context of Sightings I: Inundations, Proulx examines the influence of the photographs’ presentation context on their reception, their capacity to evoke other images, as well as the correspondences that could emerge between them.
This project proposes three investigations into Raymonde April’s artwork Tout embrasser: two photographs extracted from its original 517 components; the eponymous publication which contains reproductions of the two exhibited photographs, revealing their relationship to the others in the April’s series; as well as a personal and narrative interpretation of the artist’s images.

This show is AMAZING! Come check out the indigo labyrinth at the ‘moitissage’ this Thursday, April 19th!
April 4 – 30 Avril 2012
Exposition: Indigo Griots: Tales of an urban dyer – Montréal by Valérie d. Walker. Indigo Griots: Montréal is an intermedial (analogue -> digital and back again) lattice of exhibition, performances, artist talks, workshops, demonstrations and guided studio visits all taking place at EspaceFibre’s dye studios & exhibition space.
The central threads of our presentation are the dyer’s obsession with the magic of colour and pattern; how magic and personal stories are entwined with collective memory. Our binding power is Indigo, elemental power, a diety so love-filled, once Indigo grabs a’hold of a heart it never lets go. Blending residue of Fire (Ash), Plant cakes, Water and Heat we try to catch Magic on our Cloth.
Valérie d. Walker in collaboration with Espace Fibre Artists Helene Brousseau, Natalie Tremblay and Jessica Lemus-Coto, presents an immersive, large scale, Labyrinthine installation of Indigo dyed cloth-panels embedded with layered meanings.
In the labyrinthe are projections, onto cloth, of video extracts from the Indigo Griots, Minneapolis 2011, performance featuring shakuhachi flute and “tellings” by Mr. Douglas Ewart, mixed with griots experiences in Montréal around the dye pots.
