Sightings The Gallery is featuring works from its collection in a series of five satellite exhibitions curated by graduate students in Concordia&#8217;s art history and studio arts programmes. Each exhibition takes place in a temporary exhibition display module measuring 8’ X 8’ that will be located on the metro level of the EV Building. Sightings will offer a unique opportunity for students and the public to become familiar with the Gallery’s collection in a new setting, while allowing students to develop their curatorial skills. 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. http://ellengallery.concordia.ca/en/50years-activities-and-events.php
