CLIENT OPENING: À perte de vue / Endless Landscape at AXENÉO7

AXENÉO7’s ambitious Canada Scene project a first of its kind in the region.

Involving 12 leading Canadian and Indigenous artists À perte de vue / Endless Landscape produced massive installations inside of Le Fonderie, a heritage building with historic significance to the Gatineau region. The curatorial focus was to have the selected artists produce “monumental works that bring artists, thinkers, and audiences together to reflect upon the intricate relationship Canadians and First Peoples maintain with the land” in this historic building with over 58,000 square feet. The impact, once inside is, is tremendous and after much hard work and lots of wet weather the opening started with a rainbow arching over the landscape nearby.

Featured artists:

• Cedric, Nathan et Jim Bomford (Victoria)
• Michel de Broin (Montréal)
• Alexandre David (Montréal)
• Maria Hupfield (New York)
• Noémie Lafrance et Peter Jacobs (New York)
• Nadia Myre (Montréal) et The Ogimaa Mikana Project (Ottawa / Toronto)
• Graeme Patterson (Sackville)
• Dominique Pétrin (Montréal)
• Samuel Roy-Bois (Kelowna)
• Justin Wonnacott (Ottawa)

The project was in collaboration with DAÏMÔN, Galerie UQO, and the National Arts Centre’s Canada Scene.

Congrats to all the artists involved and to the team at Axe. I am honoured to have played a small (virtual) part in the project.
