Presented by the Ottawa Art Gallery<\/a>, 2 Daly Ave, Ottawa, ON K1N 6E2.<\/p>\n

This exhibition features conceptual works that reflect artist Gail Bourgeois\u2019 engagement with the Firestone Collection of Canadian Art. Drawings that depict overlapping lines and nodes, done in ink wash, wax crayon, graphite and watercolour, are installed to correspond with objects cast from consumer packaging, demonstrating the scope of the artist\u2019s creative process. The works are simultaneously organic and architectural, delicate and bold, and reveal Bourgeois\u2019 sophisticated understanding of composition.<\/p>\n

Bourgeois draws inspiration from roots, rhizomes and mycelial networks found in nature, intermingled with themes such as connectivity, multiplicity and cartography found in A Thousand Plateaus (1980), the collaborative philosophical text authored by Gilles Deleuze and F\u00e9lix Guattari. This installation suggests a dialogue of resistance to hierarchal forms of organizing knowledge. The artist interweaves motifs used by artists in the Firestone Collection, including Arthur Lismer, A.Y. Jackson, Edmund Alleyn and Anne Savage, into horizontal, non-linear renderings representing networks, mass branching and ceaseless connections.<\/p>\n

Gail Bourgeois holds an MFA from Concordia University, is a founding member of Powerhouse Gallery<\/a> (La Centrale, Montr\u00e9al), and has founded or formed part of a dozen artists\u2019 collectives. She maintains a studio-based drawing practice where themes and methods of working express the tension between academic knowledge and more experimental forms of knowledge based on her interest in collective practices and community engagement. Bourgeois is also involved with\u00a0ArtWise<\/a>, a program at the Ottawa Art Gallery promoting\u00a0intergenerational\u00a0engagement with the arts.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Cette exposition pr\u00e9sente des oeuvres conceptuelles que l\u2019artiste Gail Bourgeois a r\u00e9alis\u00e9es en \u00e9cho avec la Collection Firestone d\u2019art canadien. Pr\u00e9sentant des enchev\u00eatrements de lignes et de noeuds cr\u00e9\u00e9s au lavis, au crayon de cire, au graphite et \u00e0 l\u2019aquarelle, ces dessins font l\u2019objet d\u2019une installation o\u00f9 ils sont mis en rapport avec des objets moul\u00e9s dans des emballages de consommation, ce qui d\u00e9montre l\u2019ampleur du processus de cr\u00e9ation de l\u2019artiste. \u00c0 la fois organiques et architecturales, d\u00e9licates et audacieuses, ces oeuvres r\u00e9v\u00e8lent que Bourgeois poss\u00e8de un sens sophistiqu\u00e9 de l\u2019art de la composition.<\/p>\n

Bourgeois puise son inspiration dans les racines, rhizomes et r\u00e9seaux myc\u00e9liens que l\u2019on trouve dans la nature, ainsi que dans les notions de connectivit\u00e9, de multiplicit\u00e9 et de cartographie explor\u00e9es par Gilles Deleuze et F\u00e9lix Guattari dans l\u2019ouvrage philosophique Mille plateaux (1980). Cette installation sugg\u00e8re l\u2019id\u00e9e d\u2019une r\u00e9sistance face au mod\u00e8le hi\u00e9rarchique de l\u2019organisation de la connaissance. L\u2019artiste recourt aux motifs utilis\u00e9s par certains artistes de la collection \u2014 Arthur Lismer, A.Y. Jackson, Edmund Alleyn et Anne Savage \u2014 pour les entrem\u00ealer dans des trac\u00e9s horizontaux et non lin\u00e9aires qui \u00e9voquent des r\u00e9seaux, des ramifications et des connexions sans cesse renouvel\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9tentrice d\u2019une ma\u00eetrise de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Concordia, Gail Bourgeois a fait partie du noyau fondateur de la galerie Powerhouse<\/a> (La Centrale, Montr\u00e9al), et elle a fond\u00e9 puis fait partie d\u2019une dizaine de collectifs d\u2019artistes. Bourgeois pratique le dessin de mani\u00e8re continue, et ses th\u00e8mes et m\u00e9thodes de travail expriment une tension entre le savoir acad\u00e9mique et des formes de savoir plus exp\u00e9rimentales, fond\u00e9es sur son int\u00e9r\u00eat pour les projets collectifs et l\u2019engagement communautaire. Elle est \u00e9galement impliqu\u00e9e avec le programme\u00a0\u00c2ge d\u2019Art<\/a>\u00a0de la Galerie d’Art d’Ottawa, qui encouragent la participation interg\u00e9n\u00e9rationnelle par les arts.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
