STANLEY REVISITED

The exhibition Stanley Revisited 2011 brings art and architecture together in an effort to challenge the relationship between past and present in the context of an urban home. The installations presented are the result of a competition, which invited artists to take inspiration from the construction of an architectural project involving the transformation of a heritage building located on Stanley Street.

With this exhibition, KANVA seeks to establish a closer connection between art and architecture to promote their complementarities and to highlight their importance in the evolution of the metropolis.

EXPOSED PROJECTS

OFFICE WORK Antoine Cloutier-Bélisle The work is a series of red, blue and yellow folders. The folders are arranged on the ground according to a color mapping of the Golden Square Mile, based on the superposition of a Goad plan of 1914 and a satellite view of Google Earth in 2008. This project questions, by the juxtaposition of ideas, the concept of conservation, which makes possible the coexistence of different eras and the notion of work involved in the design of the city.

RESSAC Collectif Exergue Nathaniël Siri / Serge Gallant / François Édouard Bernier Inspired by the architectural project on Stanley Street, RESSAC has chosen to embody the architecture to make an analogy to the relationship between Man and his environment. Hidden between two images, the motion of which is dizzying, there is this flash of light, the repeated movement of the waves. At the center of Man, there is nature, there is instinct. RESSAC is an architectural construct on the subject of identity consisting of our social environment and our origins.

VORTICOSE Collectif PNEUMA Patrick Harrop / Gerard Leckey Inspired by the Stanley architectural project and delving into the subject of ornamentation, the installation Vorticose is an ode to a photographic series Géométrie Expérimentale by the early scientific photographer Etienne-Jules Marey. Through the phenomenon of persistence of vision and the natural oscillation of rotational fields, the piece seeks to create a condition of immaterial and ghostly waveforms in constant search for equilibrium within a seemingly unstable system.
