MONTREAL
.- Well known for his photography, multidisciplinary artist Yann Pocreau has for a number of years been keenly interested in light and its many manifestations. The exhibition Impermanencies, presented at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, brings together new works by Pocreau that offer a poetic reflection on time, the cosmos and photography.
Impermanencies is the culmination of an MMFA-sponsored residency the artist completed at the Darling Foundry from 2016 to 2018 as well as a research stint conducted at the Mont-Mégantic Observatory in 2018, during which he studied the universe and its phenomena. The exhibition offers a metaphorical expression of Pocreaus recent musings and the existential questions that astronomy and an observation of the stars naturally inspire.
New MMFA curator of contemporary art looks forward to showcasing diverse voices When I was younger and enjoying art, I didn t see myself anywhere, says Eunice Bélidor, the first Black curator at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. I want that lack of representation to stop for people who are from a younger generation.
