“A Traditional Stopping Place”

solo exhibition during the Manif d’art 9 Biennial in Québec city

Hôtel Château Laurier Québec, Place George V Ouest

opening reception Friday February 15th

Special thanks to assistant curator Michelle Drapeau

International curator:  Jonathan Watkins

This unique winter biennial is presenting talented artists from here and abroad over 60 days in different locations of Quebec City under the theme Small between the stars, large against the sky*. The title comes from the lyrics of a song by Leonard Cohen (“Stories of the Street,” 1967). Throughout his life, this extraordinary artist was preoccupied with our place in the natural order. From Cohen’s perspective, our cultural achievements should be seen in a universal context much broader than those that define conventional notions pitting art against nature. Jonathan Watkins intends to use this theme to draw our attention to the continuities between art and everyday (human) life. The questions raised will lead us to apprehend where we are, between and against the immensity we usually take for granted.
