INSTALLATIONS IN-SITU
Portuguese artist Sancho Silva, the first to participate in the Canada Council for the Arts International Residency, presents an in situ installation. Probe is a wooden cabin, open to the public, to be built on the empty lot located on Queen Street by the Darling Foundry. Inside it, passersby will be confronted with a series of views relating to the lot’s condition within its urban context. In a deliberate distortion of the time-coordinates the cabin will work simultaneously as an archeological station, a museum and a prospective space.
Sancho Silva holds a B.A. in Pure Mathematics from Trinity College in Dublin, an M.A. in philosophy of language from the university of Lisbon as well as an M.F.A. in sculpture from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. His work has been seen in Italy, Germany, Portugal, USA, France, Spain, Luxemburg, Malta, Egypt and Holland.

Following two projects, Natural Selection by Carlos and Jason Sanchez and When Dream Come True by Elena Willis, the Darling Foundry will present three new outdoor projects within the city's downtown.

In her photographic compositions Elena Willis implicates the interaction of people in the face of a fatality, an importunate event that wrenches them from their daily life. Often situated in a natural background, in direct relation to nature, her characters act out an attitude or the scene of a premeditated act. Her images, which require important preparation, often capture an instantaneous movement that the artist wishes to conserve.

Mathieu Beauséjour (Montréal) Monument, installation
|
October 18 - December 2
|
|
Since 1994, Quartier Éphémère has promptly supported the practice of Mathieu Beauséjour. By developing a "semiotic terrorism" his conceptual work engages others through a redirecting of the object. In the spirit of resistance he approaches controversial topics, reflected in a political act.

Stan Douglas (Vancouver), Klatsassin, video installation and photography presented by Le Mois de la Photo
|
September 6 - October 7

Klatsassin (2006) establishes a narrative process that defies the limits of cinematic language. By following a recombinant logic with a multiplicity points of view without beginning or end, the film presents some 850 unrepeating permutations of a murder that is presented over a period of 70 hours. Referring to Akira Kurosawa’s classic Rashomon (1950), the story is an expanding narrative process where levels of intrigue proliferate through combinations, flash-backs, and time-frame changes. The film is presented here with two series of photographs: Klatsassin, Character Portraits and Klatsassin, Western(2006).
Klatsassin, 2006, Still from a colour video projection of approx. 5min., total running time 73hr.

August 12 - 1st frost
|

Ombre de Ville as conceived by French artist Jean-Paul Ganem sits at the crossroads between visual arts and installation practice. Reflecting upon the aesthetic function of landscape and the environment the artist utilizes vegetation as the base material of his artistic practice. Working up the walls of the Darling Foundry and Cluny ArtBar this vertical garden presents a new aesthetic landscape and living urban space. Ombre de Ville is installed at the corner of Ottawa and Prince street and visible at all times, up until the first frost.
