Pascal Grandmaison: Double Take
Curated by Sara Knelman
Exhibit Partners: Mark A. Rizzo, Thoman Soule LLP Lawyers
The Art Gallery of Hamilton is pleased to host an exhibition of recent work by Montreal artist Pascal Grandmaison. In videos and photographs, Grandmaison’s crisp minimalist aesthetic scrutinizes the beauty, form and limitations of his subjects. Shown together here for the first time, related video works Double Fog / Double Brouillard and I See You in Reverse are beautifully choreographed explorations of the boundaries between space and emotion, progress and history, and moving and still images. Turning the lens on the mechanisms of his craft, new large-scale photographs depict details from the instruments of image making – lenses, battery packs, depth of field diagrams – rendering them both intimate and monumental.
This exhibition will be accompanied by a full-colour bilingual catalogue with curatorial essays by Diana Nemiroff, Director, Carleton University Art Gallery and Sara Knelman, published in collaboration with Carleton University Art Gallery.
