The photo series took shape further to a number of journeys in three countries: Australia, India and Japan. “The Edition of the Other” is “invisible research between geography and imagining, between bodies and landscapes; a link between the story of each person and that of Humanity.”

 Maison de la culture Frontenac is part of a network of multidisciplinary venues whose primary mission is to make culture accessible to everyone.

Should you happen to be in Montreal, we invite you to visit the exhibit (free of charge) from Tuesday to Sunday.

Rencontre photographique du Kamouraska

The 6th edition of Rencontre photographique du Kamouraska is taking place in the Lower Saint Lawrence region of Québec from June 20 to August 3, 2014. Just like Rencontres de la photographie en Gaspésie, the event showcases the creation and presentation of photography, and is held in close collaboration with eight municipalities of the Kamouraska RCM.

Rencontre photographique du Kamouraska makes it possible for the public to experience photography in the heart of a region gifted with unique landscapes, by way of photo exhibits and installations, lectures, roundtables, workshops and open-air photo walkways.

Curator: Baptiste Grison

Guest artists and professionals: Véronique Béland, Catherine Bodmer, Ève Cadieux, Serge Clément, Florence Le Blanc, François Gagnon, Yves Médam, Franck Michel, Jocelyn Philibert, Émilie Rondeau, Chuck Samuels, Catherine Tremblay, Michel Tremblay and several others.

Roundtable

Rencontres internationales de la photographie en Gaspésie visited Kamouraska on June 21 for a roundtable bringing together representatives of major photography events in Québec, including former Mois de la photo director Chuck Samuels, Michel Tremblay of Zoom Photo Festival de Saguenay and François Gagnon from Rendez-vous photo du Richelieu.

Besides providing us with the opportunity to get together for the first time in what is the early history of photo events in Québec, the roundtable allowed us to paint a picture of the principal events of that kind in the province and to consider their internationalization.

Citizens of the Gaspé as well as tourists are invited to be preserved for posterity by these artists at the Marsoui (9, Rte 132 W) from August 1 to 3, at the Banc-de-Pêche-de-Paspébiac historical site in Paspébiac from August 8 to 10, and at the Saint-Laurent-de-Matapédia church in Matapedia on August 12 to 14.

The pinhole camera is a device invented in the nineteenth century and requires a large-size box, used both to take pictures with an aperture and as a darkroom. In their project, Jean-François Lamoureux and Mathilde Fournier-Hébert have chosen to use buildings as that box, by plunging them into darkness. Those wishing to have their picture taken will remain outside the buildings, which will be equipped with an opening to take their photo. “Our project proposal grows out of our thinking about photographic practice and use of the image,” according to the two artists. ‘‘For this residency our hope is to re-create a space-time where the photographic act is connected to the subject not as a witness but as an event in itself.” The duo is looking to immerse themselves in sites where they will stop and draw inspiration from the environment, its possibilities and its encounters.

Use of the pinhole camera, the artists explain, means that the images created will grow much closer to the notion of perception than to an objective form of the real. Those images, traces of the experience lived, of the time that has gone by, will provide room for chance and for photographic poetry. Where landscapes, portraits and journey fragments rub shoulders, the device’s work will become a bearer and creator of memories.

“If we wish to use such an apparatus,” the duo explains, “the reason is quite simply that we can take the time to really look, to stop and share the photographic act. To begin again in a place where photography is not proof of an action or an event, but is that event, that action.”

The vernissage of the photographs resulting from this area creation residency will take place on Thursday, August 15, at 8 p.m. at the Saint-Laurent-de-Matapédia church in Matapedia. The works will be on display there until September 11. In addition, other photographs by the artists will be on view outside the church throughout the summer.

A reminder that Rencontres internationales de la photographie en Gaspésie is an invitation to come meet these artists in a region where the photograph and the landscape connect around an artistic project.

The 2013 Rencontres brings together artists who are interested in representing the real in ways that are distorted, transformed or modified, and in so doing stimulating new perceptions in viewers. Any number of avenues have been made available to the creators to consider the way in which individuals live in their environment and the manner in which they comprehend it.

At the heart of the event, the Photographer Tour will run from August 15 to 21. Some 30 photographers will take part in public get-togethers on the subject of creation, in the form of projections or lecture-discussions. The event will open at the Quai des arts in Carleton-sur-Mer, and then the Tour will continue towards the north shore of the Gaspé Peninsula, making its way to among other places the towns of Gaspé and Percé, and then on to Baie-des-Chaleurs.

The public is therefore invited to visit the installations and exhibits from July 10 to September 11 in 14 host municipalities: Cap-Chat, Marsoui, Grande-Vallée, Gaspé, Murdochville, Percé, Chandler, Paspébiac, Bonaventure, New Richmond, Maria, Carleton-sur-Mer, Nouvelle and Matapédia.
