Transvasements
Exhibited artist: Patrick Beaulieu
This exhibition brings together the body of work (photographs, videos, installations, artifacts…) resulting from the performative excursion “transvasements” carried out over 35 days aboard an old, slow boat on a canal linking the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. A project that observes and evokes time as it flows, gets lost, sometimes stops and then resumes its course.
This exhibition is part of MOMENTA’s satellite program.
Adaptation
Exhibited artist: Karine Payette
“Adaptation” explores the impact of the environment on our identity. This new research examines the mechanisms used by living beings to acclimatize to their environment. With great sensitivity, she plays with the materiality of the forms that surround and transform us.
This exhibition is part of MOMENTA’s satellite program.

In French
Galerie Art Mûr invites the public to attend a live musical performance by the group MOAB as part of artist Patrick Beaulieu’s exhibition “Transvasements”. The soundtrack for the video work “Transvasements” is taken from a “psychedelic” recording session by MOAB, performed on the night of April 3 at studio presqu’île, in Montreal.
Duration : 1 h 15 mins
In French
Claude Tousignant is a Quebec abstract painter who has maintained a regular studio practice for the past sixty years. Now in his nineties, his pace of work has begun to slow. In the spring of 2021, his daughter Zoë brought a camera into the studio’s private space to document the making of a painting – apparently his last. What emerges is a sensitive portrait of an introverted artist who always preferred his own company to that of others. Like Tousignant’s works, the film appeals to the senses through vibrant colors and powerful silence.
The film screening will be followed by a discussion with the director and a guided tour of the exhibition “Claude Tousignant: Tableaux récents et autres merveilles”.
