” At times, it is no longer necessary for street-smart or academic verbal discourse to explain the purpose of what we do.

Maybe it is best, at these times, to return to basics, & that which made the business of art so captivating & gut wrenchingly enthralling.

With that, we return to straight forward ideas, bold projects, hidden gems & even bigger risks”.

– Guy Berube, director & curator, LPM Projects.

The Chosen


The Chosen is the title for the inaugural art event at General Assembly.

This one-of-a-kind event is co-curated by LPM Projects & PDA Projects.

 “Yes, these artist have been chosen, but why? Is there a way to really bring together eight artists cohesively when they all express different experiences through an array of materials and methods? Maybe there is a way where academic chops can be extraneously pulled out to consider contemporary Canadian (or International) ways of thinking about being chosen. But these are meanderings that will fill our heads with more convoluted ways to explain experiences. Simply, we didn’t have a choice in being here (being alive), but we chose to be creative. I think that’s pretty neat and a good enough reason”.  – written by Brendan A. de Montigny, PDA Projects

« Parfois, nous n’avons plus besoin d’expliquer ce qui motive nos actions par un discours autodidacte ou académique.

Peut-être est-il préférable alors de revenir à l’essentiel et à ce qui rend l’art si captivant et poignant.

Nous retournons ainsi à des idées simples, des projets audacieux, des trésors cachés et des risques encore plus grands. »

Guy Bérubé, directeur et conservateur, LPM Projects.

 

The Chosen (Les Élues)

 

L’événement artistique qui marque l’inauguration de General Assembly s’intitule The Chosen.

Cet événement unique en son genre est organisé en collaboration par LPM Projects et PDA Projects.

« Oui, ces artistes ont été choisis, mais pourquoi? Comment réunir de manière cohérente huit artistes qui expriment des expériences différentes avec une multitude de matériaux et de techniques? Il y a peut-être moyen de s’extirper de la technicité académique pour envisager des façons contemporaines, canadiennes ou internationales, de réfléchir sur le fait d’être choisi. Mais il n’en sortirait que des divagations propres à nous bourrer le crâne avec des discours encore plus biscornus pour expliquer ces expériences. Essentiellement, nous n’avons pas choisi d’être ici (d’être vivant), mais nous choisissons d’être créatif. Je pense que c’est excitant et que c’est une raison suffisante. » Brendan A. de Montigny , PDA Projects
