MAKE WAY FOR ALISSA BILODEAUFREEABYSSESJune 20 2024 to MARCH 30 2025Alissa Bilodeau plunges us into the abyssal depths of a cavern seemingly dug into the Côte de la Montagne, a hillside in Old Quebec.

MAKE WAY FORPIERRE&MARIEFREEMYTH AND EVIDENCEJune 10 to October 14, 2024A glimmer of light emanating from inside an opalescent display case reveals the silhouette of a legendary animal: the unicorn. The translucent surface blurs our reading of its realistic-looking forms.

There’s no doubt that this symbol of purity and grace, which has captured the Western...

MAKE WAY FORCOOKE-SASSEVILLEFREETHE ODYSSEY June 10 to October 14 2024Three oversized pigeons ogle a can of Campbell’s soup. Puzzled by the mysterious container, the birds seem oblivious to its contents or the means to access it. n reference to Pop Art and to the commodities often replicated by Andy Warhol, this work recalls the sometimes-elitist nature of contemporary art. Much like the monolith in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the tin can is like a door to another world (the art world).IN...
