J’apprendrai à nager pour connaitre votre plaisir d’habiter un abîme — Nicolas Arthur Dufour
May 7 – June 20, 2026
I shall learn to swim so as to know your pleasure in dwelling within an abyss: these are my words, and those of the very terrestrial Cyclops, Polyphemus. It is also a song of love and of despair, a despair closely akin to ecstasy. Thus, like the Cyclops, my comrade, I learn to sing in order to learn to swim, in order to learn – for in truth we do nothing else – in order, to learn to live, finally. — Nicolas Arthur Dufour

Rémanences — Florence Viau
May 7 – June 20, 2026
In Rémanences, the cosmic microwave background serves as a conceptual basis for a perceptual experience in which light constitutes both subject and means. After producing a series of works in which she explored the allure of fireworks, Florence Viau now turns her attention to an ancient, mysterious radiance. — Josianne Poirier
