Artists' Talks About Collection

| Parcours désordonné Artists' Talks About Collection |
Three years of lectures, workshops, events and exhibits have led these artists to publish a book, Parcours désordonné, to realize a moving exhibit and to open their portfolios to the Internet community.
Contemporary art and anecdotes combine on this site to offer the amateur and the initiate an unusual and actual path to the collection pieces and thoughts.
Although the book Parcours désordonné is in French only, three main texts published in the book have been translated in English by Susan Avon and are available online. |

Now introducing the book |

Tohu-bohu, méli-mélo, charivari, tumulte... These are a
few fragments of titles (extreme, no doubt) that were suggested during the
preparation of this publication. They correspond to the notion of movement, of
transformation, that reigned throughout the three years of work on the theme of
the collection.
Three years during which "resource people" were invited in different capacities: artist, art historian, collector, author, museologist, pedagogue... People whose resourcefulness profoundly nourished the thought process and the practice of the eight artists of the Ateliers convertibles.
One last thing, that of the origin. This project sprang from a camera obscura workshop jointly organized by the Musée d'Art de Joliette and the Ateliers convertibles in 1990. It tells of how close and productive our relationship has been, during all those years. |
