MONASTIRAKI CURATORIAL PROJECTS LAUNCHED
We are pleased to announce our new series of curatorial explorations wherein artists/writers/curators are invited to create projects based on our collections. This is the first offering :
OLD + NEW (Misinterpretations
and Reevaluations)
by Tara Slaughter
The first series of items include elements from the scrap
box, where two bits only cost a dollar. The thread, if you’re looking for one:
old meanings are neglected in hopes of constructing newer, increasingly foolish
ones.
Bio:
New to Montreal, hailing from Montana, fresh out of Oregon.
Currently interested in situating found objects in contexts
that render them absurd, pathetic, or ridiculous.
Has been interested in the future (but now it’s stupid) and Antillean
Giant Rice Rats (but now they’re extinct). Thursday, January 31, 2013
Jude Griebel - Cry The Right Shapes - Feb 2013
Cry the Right
Shapes: pencil drawings
by Jude Griebel
Vernissage Vendredi 8 fevrier, 18 - 21hr
Exposition 8 fev - 3 mars, 2013
Exposition 8 fev - 3 mars, 2013
My
work explores the convergence of corporeal and imaginary experience through
themes of growth, transition and mortality. My recent drawings depict tragic
and disembodied figures in mysterious and supernatural circumstances.
Influenced by Victorian illustration, they employ heightened sentimentality and
a sense of the fantastic, rendered in a highly representational manner. In
these images, dramatic elements are employed to engage the viewer, drawing them
into an alternative world in which psychological vignettes are played out by
human and animal characters.
The images
that appear in my work belong to a visual vocabulary developed through research
into cultural and mythological beliefs surrounding supernatural phenomena, art
historical references and autobiographical experience. References are made to
low-budget supernatural films from the 1970s and 80s, capitalizing on their
ability to incorporate foundational cultural mythologies, fears and morals into
contemporary encounters with the unknown.
Jude Griebel: received a BFA from the Emily Carr University of Art and
Design and is a current MFA candidate at Concordia University. His work has
been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including recent
solo projects at the University of Lapland (Finland), Islensk Grafik (Iceland)
and Galerie FOFA (Montréal). He has worked as an artist in residence at
institutions including the Banff Centre for the Arts, Workshop OM, (Japan) and
the Frans Masereel Centrum (Belgium). His work has recently been added to the
permanent collections of the Sakima Art Museum (Japan), the Burnaby Art
Gallery, The Yukon Arts Centre Public Art Gallery and the Colart Canadian Art
Collection.

Cry the Right
Shapes: dessins au crayon de Jude Griebel
Mon travail explore la convergence du corporel et des expériences de l’imagination, à travers des thèmes de croissance, de transition et de mortalité. Mes récents dessins illustrent des figures tragiques et désincarnées dans des circonstances mystérieuses et surnaturelles. Influencés par les illustrations Victoriennes, ils utilisent une sentimentalité intensifiée et un flair pour le fantastique, rendus de facon hautement figurative. Dans ces images, des éléments dramatiques sont utilisés pour faire participer le public, les attirant dans un monde alternatif dans lequel des vignettes psychologiques sont évoquées par des êtres humains et des animaux.

Les images
apparaissant dans mon oeuvre appartiennent à un vocabulaire visuel développé à
travers une recherche sur les croyances culturelles et mythologiques entourant
les phénomènes surnaturels, l’art, les références historiques et les expériences
autobiographiques. Des liens sont faits avec les films à petit budget des
années 70 et 80, au sujet du surnaturel, capitalisant sur leur habileté à
incorporer les mythologies culturelles fondatrices, les peurs et les aspects
moraux dans des rencontres contemporaines avec l’inconnu.
Jude Griebel: a reçu son BFA de l’Université en art et design Émilie Carr et est présentement un candidat au MFA à l’Université Concordia. Son oeuvre a été présentée dans des expositions internationales solos et collectives. Ces expositions incluent les projets solos récents à l’Université de la Laponie (Finlande), Islensk Garfik (Icelande) et la Galerie FOFA (Montréal).Il a travaillé en tant qu’artiste-en-résidence dans des institutions telles que le Centre D’art de Banff , Atelier OM (Japon) et le Frans Masereel Centrum (Belgique). Ses oeuvres ont récemment été ajoutées aux collections permanentes du Musée d’art Sakima (Japon), de la Galerie d’art Burnaby, du Centre d’art et Galerie d’art du Yukon et la Collection canadienne d’art Colart.

Jamie Q - The Possibilities Are Endless
VERNISSAGE AND BOOK LAUNCH
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 5:00PM - 7:00PM
Monastiraki presents an exhibition of new screenprints by Jamie Q derived from images in the artist's new book, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 5:00PM - 7:00PM
Monastiraki presents an exhibition of new screenprints by Jamie Q derived from images in the artist's new book, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
Jamie Q created the
artwork for the book through an open-ended process. The results are not
preconceived, nor are they end points; instead, they might be described
as visual records of experiments, imaginings, and decisions. Although a
formal language emerges with its own symbols and strategies, there
always remains room for surprise. The possibilities are endless, and
they are also unpredictable. As a sampling of those possibilities, this
artwork points us outward: to the unknown, to the could-be, and to the
yet-to-come.
Monastiraki - Le Petit Monastère
5478 St-Laurent, Montreal
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS is published by the McIntosh Gallery Curatorial Study Centre, October 2012. $15, edition of 500, 32 pages, full colour with gold spot, singer sewn binding, 6.5″ x 8.75″
The book is also available online at http://jamieq.net/
Jamie Q has self-published zines and art books for the past ten years as part of a studio practice that also includes painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture. They are interested in the social potential of art objects and DIY distribution strategies, and in publication as “the creation of a public.” THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS is their first book produced in collaboration with a publisher. Jamie Q holds a BFA from the Alberta College of Art & Design (2002) and an MFA from Western University (2010). Originally from Edmonton, via Calgary and Montreal, they currently live and work in London, Ontario.

VERNISSAGE + LANCEMENT DU LIVRE
VENDREDI LE 23 NOVEMBRE, 17-19h
Monastiraki présente une exposition de nouvelles sérigraphies par Jamie Q, provenant du livre récemment publié de l’artiste THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
Jamie Q a créé les œuvres artistiques pour ce live à travers un processus ouvert et libre. Le résultat pourrait être décrit comme un témoignage visuel d’expériences, de choses imaginées et de décisions. Les possibilités n’ont pas de limites, et elles sont aussi imprévisibles. En tant qu’échantillonnage de ces possibilités, ce travail artistique pointe vers le monde extérieur : vers l’inconnu, vers ce qui pourrait être, et vers ce qui est à venir.
L’artiste Jamie Q de London, Ontario, a publié indépendamment des fanzines et des livres d’art au cours des dix dernières années, en tant qu’éléments de sa pratique studio qui inclue également des peintures, des dessins, des imprimés et de la sculpture. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS est leur premier livre produit en collaboration avec l’éditeur. Jamie Q est diplômé du Collège d’art et de design de l’Alberta (BFA, 2002) et a obtenu un MFA de l’Université Western (2010).

The strange and wonderful drawings of CARRIE WALKER
CARRIE WALKER
Vernissage jeudi 4 octobre, 19hr-22hr
Exposition 4 oct - 4 nov, 2012
(English follows)
Bio
Carrie Walker vit et travaille dans la ville de Vancouver, au Canada.
Depuis 2001, elle a exposé ses dessins à New York, Londres, Los Angeles
et à Vancouver. Sa pratique artistique est fortement ancrée dans le
dessin, employant souvent des images d’animaux en métaphore afin
d’explorer les notions de solitude et de déplacement. L’humour et le jeu
sont des éléments essentiels de son travail.
Communiqué de l’artiste
Le présent projet est une élaboration d’un projet commencé il y a un certain nombre d’années, comprenant un mince et vieux carnet de dessins trouvé dans un magasin usagé. Les pages du carnet étaient couvertes de paysages délavés incluant des montagnes, des arbres et des rivières, des moulins à vent et oiseaux perchés sur les branches. Sans considération pour le plausible, j’ai dessiné des animaux sur les scènes pittoresques : un faucon perché, ailes écartées, sur le pont d’un village; un mouflon près d’un cabine dont il a aussi la taille.
J’ai débuté une collection davantage axée sur les dessins. Je me suis imposée les contraintes suivantes: je ne collectionnerais que les paysages à la mine et à l’aquarelle, je ne débourserais pas plus de 25$ par oeuvre artistique, et l’artiste, ne serait plus, au meilleure de mes connaissances, encore vivant. Depuis, j’ai amassé des oeuvres datant du milieu des années 1800 jusqu’au début des années ’70 au 20ème siècle.
Poursuivant le même procédé, je me retrouve devant un monde en changements où les animaux règnent et président. Ils sont agrandis et pas tant rejetés de leurs environnements naturels que s’introduisant dans le nôtre.
Bio
Carrie Walker lives and works in Vancouver, Canada. Since 2001 she has exhibited her drawings in New York, London, Los Angeles and Vancouver. Her art practice is strongly rooted in drawing, often employing images of animals as metaphors to explore notions of solitude and displacement. Humour and playfulness are vital elements in her work.
Artist Statement
This project is an elaboration on a project I began a number of years ago involving a skinny, old sketchbook purchased in a thrift store. Its pages were filled with faint landscapes of mountains, trees and streams, windmills, and birds on branches. I started drawing animals into the scenes - a falcon perched, wings outspread, on a bridge over a small town; a bighorn sheep the size of the cabin it stands beside.
I began collecting more drawings with the following restrictions: I would collect only landscapes in pencil and watercolour, I wouldn’t pay more than $25 dollars for a single artwork, and the artist would to the best of my knowledge no longer be living. I’ve since collected work dating from the mid 1800’s through to the early 1970’s.
Continuing the same process, adding fauna to found environments, I find a world developing wherein the animals have taken over. They are oversized and not so much ousted from their natural environment as quietly infringing upon ours.

Formed
in early 2008, the Montreal Nintendo Orkestar are a Montreal-based
avant-electronic duo composed of French sound experimentalist Albérick
(.cut) and local artist Stephen Cibo. Using two Nintendo DS videogame
units run through a variety of guitar pedals and effects processors, the
duo have conjured up a brooding cinematic soundscape uniquely their own
that runs the gamut from ambient, industrial, noise, and even a touch
of pop, albeit their own version of what pop is. Influences include The
Velvet Und
erground, Throbbing Gristle, Brian Eno, and Suicide.
