Motifs détourés – Chantal Lagacé
The city slowly, subtly and continually changes.
These changes are the result of the residents who give the
city its rhythm; mould its shape, and who continually leave
their mark in different ways. Chantal Lagacé’s drawings,
paintings and photographs aim to draw our attention to
these transformations before they completely disappear.
May 5 to June 10
Dans le décor – Guillaume Tardif
Through installation and photographs, the artist explores the
notion of trash and obsolescence. He explores the aesthetic
potential of industrially-produced items that have reached the
end of their useful life.

With photos of 19th century homes and antique items, the

This installation will provide a preview of the heritage tour
