Qu\u00e9bec City, Wednesday, February 8, 2017 \u2013 As part of Manif d\u2019art 8 \u2013 The Qu\u00e9bec City Biennial, Materia is presenting installations and sculptures by Sarah Maloney and Karine Payette from February 18 to March 19. The exhibit Natura Humana is included in the programming of The Art of Joy, a series of interconnected exhibits developed by curator Alexia Fabre.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sarah Maloney <\/strong>is featuring her works Collapse, Tulip & Water Level. Stemming from her researches in botany, history, and women studies, Sarah Maloney\u2019s flowers are presented as archetypical beauty, but also an invitation to reflect on issues such as the environment, the quest for emancipation, and gender stereotypes.<\/p>\n Sarah Maloney holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and a master\u2019s degree from the University of Windsor. She has been in numerous individual and collective exhibitions in Canada and abroad. Her works are part of the Nova Scotia Museum of fine art and the New Brunswick Beaverbrook Art Gallery collections, among others. She has received many prizes and grants, from the Canada Council for the Arts, the New Brunswick Arts Board, and the Nova Scotia Arts Agency. Karine Payette <\/strong>is presenting her works Pavlov and De part et d\u2019autre. By giving animals a human attitude and posture, her works introduce a reflection on social behaviours. Filled with ambiguity and discomfort, they put into perspective the tendency in some individuals to control and manipulate others to dominate them.<\/p>\n Karine Payette has a master\u2019s degree in visual arts from the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. Her work has been in many individual and collective exhibitions in the province of Qu\u00e9bec and in Germany. She has also taken part in twentysomething collective exhibitions, mostly in Canada but also in France. In 2015, Payette has produced two artworks integrated into architecture for Montreal schools. Her works are in many private and public collections, including the one at the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art contemporain de Baie Saint-Paul. The artist is represented by the galerie Art M\u00fbr (Montreal). Materia\u2019s exhibition space and boutique (395, Charest Blvd East) are open Wednesday to Sunday, from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n Materia, in short<\/strong> Manif d\u2019art 8, in short<\/strong> Materia wishes to thank the Maison des m\u00e9tiers d’art de Qu\u00e9bec, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Qu\u00e9bec, the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de d\u00e9veloppement des entreprises culturelles, the Ville de Qu\u00e9bec and Emploi-Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n Artiste Sarah Maloney wishes to thank Arts Nova Scotia for its support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Manif d\u2019art 8: an exhibit by Sarah Maloney and Karine Payette at Materia From February 18 to March 19, 2017 Sarah Maloney & Karine Payette \u2013 Natura Humana Opening on Saturday, February 18, at 7:15 p.m. Qu\u00e9bec City, Wednesday, February 8, 2017 \u2013 As part of Manif d\u2019art 8 \u2013 The Qu\u00e9bec City Biennial, Materia…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11346,"featured_media":4249,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized-en","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3804"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6553,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3804\/revisions\/6553"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centremateria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
