The Musée d’art de Joliette presents, from October 15, 2006, to January 14, 2007, an exhibition highlighting the work of the French artist of Hungarian origin, Alexandre Hollan. Poet and essayist Louise Warren is the curator of this exhibition—Hollan’s first in North America. The exhibition brings together more than twenty works on paper devoted to a single tree. Between 2001 and 2006, the artist explored this tree at different times of day, varying media and formats, including charcoal, gouache, and acrylic. Hollan’s exploration of form and material resonates with the poet’s own inquiries, situated between literature and the visual arts.
As part of the exhibition Un seul arbre, Louise Warren will present, on Sunday, November 5, 2006, at 2 p.m., a short film devoted to Alexandre Hollan, followed by a reading of excerpts from her writings about the artist.
Curator: Louise Warren
Co-produced by Louise Warren and the Museum, the exhibition and its accompanying catalogue received financial support from the Conférence régionale des élus(es) de Lanaudière and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec through the Fonds Lanaudière pour les arts et les lettres.
