Temporary Exhibition
From 29 march 2025 to 11 may 2025
Le Littoral comme partenaire de création
In this new exhibition at the MUMAQ, the concept of dialogue developed over the last few years is revealed in the form of a photo album, using photographs and videos of some of the ephemeral narrative installations conceived during our artist residencies in Sainte-Flavie, Gaspésie, from 2017 to 2022.
Fabrics, papers, various objects, and the wind take part in the stagings explored in the course of research, improvisation and creation, where emotion and play take root in and with the landscape. The challenge taken up this time was to create an additional dialogue by integrating trunks and chests selected from the museum’s reserves. By virtue of their antiquity, their history, their wear and tear – these artifacts are intimately linked to the idea of travel and transhumance often associated with the St. Lawrence River. With their help, we hope to offer you a touch of coastal poetry.
And in the words of author Christian Bobin: “I believe that to inhabit the world poetically is to inhabit it first and foremost in contemplative terms”.
