 Leonard and Bina Ellen Art Gallery Concordia University, Montreal October 23–November 29, 2008 Curator: David Tomas, with the collaboration of Michèle Thériault and Eduardo Ralickas  In Absolutely Fabulous, Paul Litherland playfully constructs stereotypical gender identities in himself, only to deconstruct them and raise his viewers’ awareness of cultural biases. The ten works that constitute this series evolved from a 1993 performance, Souvenirs.  Wearing a tight, hot-pink jersey-knit dress with a scoop neckline that reveals a thick pelt of chest hair, photographer Paul Litherland poses coyly for the viewer in a sky-blue-lit studio for half of his self-portrait series, Absolutely Fabulous.1 By Jacques Doyon Instructions: define a field of operations that is compatible with the camera’s field, determine the procedures for choosing objects and the type of actions to produce, decide on a duration, insert a body into the recording field, perform the planned manipulations or interactions, and then re-evaluate the results of the shots, select the images, and establish a mode of exhibition, to which you may or may not add the instructions.

Il reste néanmoins beaucoup à faire pour mieux connaître et apprécier les possibilités que recèle cet ensemble.  SYN–’s Prospectus (2003–04)1 points to contradictions in the relationship between contemporary artists and the city. This sequence of eighty-one photographs shows the SYN– members wandering around and engaged in play at various locations in the “hyperbuilding” otherwise known as Montreal’s underground city. March 4–May 22, 2004 Dazibao, Montréal By Dayna McLeod Performance and Photography: POINT & SHOOT is a three-part exhibition project curated by Michèle Thériault and France Choinière that examines the photograph as performance prop, subject, and object, and the photographic process as performative act, witness, and documentarian. |
