Art history, like all official histories, has been written in masculine terms. Despite the efforts of various stakeholders in the arts and culture to counteract the gender biases generated over the past few centuries, being a woman or a non-man artist is still synonymous with invisibility for too many people. In this discussion presented by the Contemporary Art Galleries Association in collaboration with POST-INVISIBLES, three women from the art world with diverging backgrounds come together to assess what has been achieved in the last few years, but also of the road that remains in order to rewrite an inclusive art history.

This event will be held in French.

Femmes et art contemporain, sommes-nous dans une ère post-invisible ?

Here We Are Now explores how individual stories can be used to represent oneself. Many artists approach their work by delving into personal and official histories. The ones featured in this tour use identity as a starting point to work towards transforming memory into tangible artifacts employing their own voices and agencies – in challenging the various forms that perception and engagement can take. Here We Are Now is a dialogue born of personal lived experience and subjective reception. It represents how an environment can influence how one creates art.

This event will be held in French only.

Nous sommes là

Public art is at the peak of its visibility when first inaugurated. As time passes, it is up to the viewer to interpret the work, often without context or mediation. This opacity becomes a condition that is reappropriated by artists working within the public sphere, in projects that are markedly performative, ephemeral or furtive, or that aim to leave no material or spatial trace. How are ‘invisible’ practices remembered within the context of public art? 

In this conversation, the panelists will present projects that touch on public art, gender disparity, memory, and archives. Fiona Annis and Véronique La Perrière M. of the Society of Affective Archives will present their public art projects *L’étreinte des temps* (2019) and *Ad Astra* (2021), and Joliz Dela Peña will present the performance *Nilalang* (2021), which was part of Artch in 2021. This conversation will be moderated by Victoria Carrasco, Adjunct Curator of Public Programs at the PHI Foundation.

This event will be held in English only.

Could it be possible to visit an art gallery without ever leaving home? An increasing number of cultural institutions are tapping into the metaverse - a 3D virtual world accessible through extended reality (XR) technologies. Notably, Cryptovoxels, a metaverse powered by the Ethereum blockchain, is abounding with galleries and events dedicated to showcasing digital art. In this discussion, three specialists will attempt to unravel the infinite possibilities created by the metaverse, and its consequences on the way we see and acquire art.

This event will be held in French only.

In the pages of its magazine as well as on its website, Ciel variable pays a lot of attention to books dedicated to photography and particularly to photography books. But what distinguishes a photography book from other books about photography? The panelists answer this question by discussing the relevance of these publications in a world where print has not said its last word.

*Cette Chair* - Derived from the Old English flæsc, meaning "meat, muscular parts of the animal body", the concept of flesh has evolved over the centuries and has been represented in various ways by thinkers and creators. What is the visual and experiential power of this membrane as a threshold or repository of the past? As a complement to a dossier of the magazine ESPACE - to be published in September 2022 -, the panel Cette Chair extensively investigates the materiality of the flesh as an aesthetic, socio-political, cultural and social phenomenon closely linked to contemporary visual and performative arts.

This event will be held in French only.

Cette Chair

Moridja Kitenge Banza is a multidisciplinary artist who intentionally confuses reality and fiction in order to highlight the contradictions that construct his identities. His work was recently exhibited at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (MAC) as part of the group exhibition La machine qui enseignait des airs aux oiseaux (2020-2021), co-curated by Mark Lanctôt. In this conversation, the artist and curator will discuss contemporary practices related to printmaking and collecting. 

The event is presented by the SéminArts program, offered by the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal with the support of the Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Family Foundation.

Entretien avec Moridja Kitenge Banza 

This year’s special projects feature emerging artists! Spread out across the fair in a distinct way, special projects offer galleries a unique opportunity to present bold, large-format works from current artistic practices. These artworks allow visitors to have a more dynamic experience with the works in the context of a commercial fair.

The relationship seems rather fruitful since it first appeared in the 1960s: art and environmental issues feed each other, with artworks sometimes even acting as sentinels. But recently, ecology and environment have been activated differently with the stakes of decolonization, diasporic recognitions and the replacement of the major concept of nature by that of the living. How do these revolutions play out in practice and in theory? How can we adapt to these fundamental changes? In this panel presented by the Grantham Foundation for the Arts and the Environment, artists and researchers will explore these questions in order to understand the repercussions of this political and philosophical mutation.

This event will be held in English only.

It is no secret that running a small and non-traditional art space comes with its toll of obstacles. The pandemic context of the last two years has made it even more challenging for these spaces to stay alive, but it also resulted in exciting changes for gallery owners and directors — leading some of them to move cities, or even to open a new venue altogether. In this discussion, three gallerists will discuss what it meant for them to open and run a new gallery during pandemic (and post-pandemic) times.

This event will be held in English only.
