Publication Launch

We are pleased to welcome you to our spaces for the launch of the publication Caroline Gagné: Donner corps à l'insaisissable, on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition Clairières, on September 10 at 5 pm!

Published by OBORO, Donner corps à l'insaisissable/Embodying the Intangible offers a retrospective look at the career of Quebec artist Caroline Gagné, whose practice is nourished by the tension between the fascination of digital media and the inescapable necessity of dealing with the materiality of things. The artist co-wrote a foreword with Tamar Tembeck, OBORO's artistic director and co-director of the publication. The essays are signed by Viviane Paradis, Nathalie Bachand and Valérie Litalien.
