Dé-con-structions

14 Apr 2007 - 03 Sep 2007

The National Gallery of Canada puts De-con-structions on display from 14 April to 3 September 2007, as a part of the third biennial Quebec Scene festival, presented by the National Arts Centre from 20 April to 5 May 2007. This intriguing exhibition sheds light on the works of five Quebec artists; Michel de Broin, Karilee Fuglem, Jean-Pierre Gauthier, Tricia Middleton, and Annie Thibault. Each in their own way, the artists take over the gallery’s space, convert it, disrupt it, and turn it into a laboratory and an experimental space all at once.
