TEIAKWANAHSTAHSONTÉHRHA’ – WE EXTEND THE RAFTERS
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
September 28, 2023 to January 7, 2024
This exhibition, whose central element is the machinima — an animated video created on the virtual reality platform Second Life — was created especially for children from 5 to 11 years old and invites visitors of all ages to (re)discover traditions transformed and brought up to date by the artist Skawennati in her “museum of the future.”
A guided tour and an original workshop in the form of a group board game encourages youngsters and grown-ups to explore history from an Indigenous perspective and to imagine how all peoples can contribute to the world of tomorrow, reminding us that history, like any other story, is a construction defined by the person telling it.
COULEURS MANIFESTES
PERMANENT EXHIBITION
The intensity of Couleurs Manifestes is visible in the power of colour to command our attention and to convey meaning and symbolism.
FORGOTTEN! SCOTT, BRANDTNER, EVELEIGH, WEBBER : REVISITING MONTREAL ABSTRACTION OF THE 1940S
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
September 28, 2023 to January 7, 2024.
Four artists who are today relatively or almost entirely unknown – one woman and three men – played a part in the aesthetic upheavals that led in 1940s Montreal toward abstraction. Very active in the art milieu throughout the decade, Marian Dale Scott, Fritz Brandtner, Henry Eveleigh and Gordon Webber captured the attention of critics of the time, who employed the term “abstract art” to describe both non-objective works and bold formal explorations that retained some reference to visible reality.
This exhibition has been produced and circulated by the Musée d’art de Joliette with the financial support of the Government of Canada.
