JÉRÉMIE ST-PIERRE: A MAGNIFICENT DESOLATION
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
February 8 to April 21, 2024.
Through figurative paintings, Jérémie St-Pierre explores the multiple aesthetic possibilities of this art form. His work crafts ambiences which are both troubling and fascinating as they explore the boundaries of the real.
In A Magnificent Desolation, St-Pierre interrogates the emotional potential of memory. Each painting in this body of work is meticulously composed out of materials from his personal archives, like fragments of the past which rise up in snippets in each of his works. In this way, the exhibition invites us to immerse ourselves in reminiscences of a lost time, one not so distant in the end.

IN MY HEAD…
YOUTH EXHIBITION
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
.February 8 to April 21, 2024.
This exhibition is intended for curious people both young and old. This project, co-curated by the Musée’s education, outreach and cultural action coordinator Catherine Sanfaçon Dubé and its curator Frédérique Renaud, will immersive visitors in the MBAS collection through the prism of outreach.
Why do works of art make us experience emotions? How do artists convey their thoughts and their vision of the world? And how can we transform the ideas in our head into a work of art?
Some forty works from the abundant collection of the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke will guide you in your exploration in an attempt to find answers to these questions. A visit at once strange, introspective, sensitive and colourful will guide young visitors as they think about their own subjectivity and their emotions, tastes and aesthetic preferences.
