“The Québec Triennial 2011: The Work Ahead of Us”

On view until January 3, the second edition of the Quebec Triennial at The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal  is worthwhile to visit!

The title “The Work Ahead of Us” is borrowed from an installation by Grier Edmundson, one of the artists in this Triennial. He himself took it from an essay by the Russian avant-garde artist Vladimir Tatlin. The title suits the exhibition since it explores the boundaries between historical and contemporary art approaches and raises questions about the future of art in a critical and ever-changing present.

The exhibition features the works by fifty emerging and mid-career artists in and around the Montreal area.  Among our favorites, Olivia Boudreau’s L’Étuve (2011), an impressive video installation of a group of women gathered together in a steam room and Numa Amun’s Citadelle des sens, a series of surrealist drawings in ink on paper resembling medical textbook prints.

We enjoyed very much our visit and we are now looking forward to visiting The Armory Show and the Whitney Biennial next spring during New York art trip 21012 (March 8-11).  By the way, we still have space! Find all the details at:https://walkthearts.com/_art_tours/art_tour_new_york.shtml

Who are we?

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice. At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity. As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art-making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color!
