Photo Sculpture

Photography is flat and illusionistic; sculpture is concrete, occupying three-dimensional space. This exhibition proposes multiple relationships between these apparently antagonistic mediums, in six hybrid installations by Quebec artists Jocelyne Alloucherie, Patrick Altman, Guy Bourassa, Paul Lacerte, Alain Paiement and Sylvie Readman. The works were produced during a two-month summer workshop held at the Studios d'été de St-Jean-Port-Joli, which was also responsible for organizing and circulating the exhibition, with financial assistance from the Canada Council. An 80-page catalogue with essays by Jacques Doyon and Lesley Johnstone accompanies the exhibition.
