The Art Collective

Friday’s session this week (10 to 130 VA 315) will be a special Thanksgiving session, there will be fresh bagels, juice and coffee. We will also work on a special project to map the body of artist Julianne Bédard, who collaborated with a performance at The Art Collective’s first show at the VAV Gallery.

We will be submitting a show proposal to be part of the exhibition that is being held in collaboration with the 35th Festival Nouveau Cinema. I have been in touch with the organizers and they are very interested in having some of our work shown. We will talk Friday about this proposal, which could involve an interactive component. All Collective members are also encouraged to apply for the show. Details are at the end of this note. Here is the link with more information:

New images are being posted by collective member Stephanie Reynolds, check them out.

Photos are posted of member Marisa Hoicka breakdancing with a friend at our May CDEx show, a performance that drew a large crowd on the sidewalk outside the street-level gallery, as well as inside the gallery. New photos of the show are also being posted. Marisa painted a mural at the show with several members of the curating team who worked on the CDEx exhibition, including Montreal artist David King, Collective design specialist Angeliki Gketsou and Robert Winters.

On the subject of shows, don’t miss high-profile Montreal artist François Morelli’s two shows that are still on at the Belgo building in two galleries on the fifth floor, Optica and Joyce Yahouda Gallery. François, a high-profile artist who has helped The Art Collective, had his two shows highlighted in a major feature story in the Montreal Gazette.
