Magazine HB

HB is a magazine, a gallery on paper, a platform—a dynamic space dedicated to contemporary drawing. We intend to showcase the work of a wide range of artists, from the hard-to-miss who have made their mark on the artistic landscape and continue to shape it, to marginalised artists, young artists whose practices move and promise, artists who draw in hiding, artists who, by sheer misfortune, have as yet enjoyed little exposure. structured so that each page threads together a set of visual sequences, HB is a space for exchange that gives precedence to imagery over text.

HB is an initiative by five artist-run centres (ARPRIM, articule, AXENÉO7, Centre CLARK, Galerie SAW Gallery) and a commercial gallery (Galerie Joyce Yahouda) that disseminate, promote and support contemporary practices in the visual arts.

PURCHASE HB 7 HERE! (postal delivery available) " Since the 1980s, the parameters of outsider art have ostensibly broadened, to include a diversity of backgrounds including socially or mentally isolated artists (prisoners, people with mental illness, and others); artists who have pursued traditional and vernacular practice; as well as artists who are simply self-taught. Several other terms are also used to define outsider art:...

Line, dot, cartography, trajectory, plan, programme, system: these are some of the elements used to articulate the drawings that make up the 5th issue of HB magazine. Drawing is a construction in which flat plane is used to delve deeper into another space. It is a blueprint with its own objective: to exist outside of its image, whether real, invented or fantasy. Within certain...

Like fantasy, eroticism is an imaginary construction, the creation of intimate images depicting an activity that must usually take place behind the scenes – the “obscene,” as derived from the Latin term obscena. However, eroticism is not exclusively linked to obscenity or to fantasy. It can be pornographic in close-up or be sentimental, viewed from a hazy, removed perspective. We associate eroticism with desire,...

It is with great pleasure that we present HB Nº3. For this issue, HB’s team collaborated with Argentinian curator Pamela Desjardins to propose a dialogue between artists from Quebec and south America. In the context of this collaboration, we were particularly interested in drawings that examine the body as territory. HB Nº3 is thus a rich collection of political and intimist works that present...
