The artists will attend the opening of Recoudre on Friday, November 3, from 5 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n Materia is happy to gather together two major figures of Quebecois textile arts in the exhibition Recoudre<\/strong> (stitching). Carole Baillargeon approaches the theme through the metaphor of se recoudre (stitching [oneself] up), evoking life\u2019s ups and downs in an adjustment movement towards resilience. For Mireille Racine, recoudre le silence (re-stitching silence) features stories of hats and Japanese memories through sculptures that go to the essence, in silence. Stemming from Japanese Zen philosophy, the aesthetics approach of Mu and Wabi-Sabi that unite them reveal emotion, sobriety, and beauty within imperfection.<\/p>\n Materia is proud to pursue its mission by exhibiting the work of two renowned artists whose research has been contributing for many years to the evolution of the know-how and reflection in contemporary fine arts.<\/p>\n About Carole Baillargeon<\/strong> About Mireille Racine<\/strong> Materia<\/strong> is an artist-run centre whose mission is to disseminate and promote research and creation in the field of contemporary fine crafts, on a national and international level.<\/p>\n The artists thank the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Qu\u00e9bec for its financial support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" *** SPECIAL EVENT *** La Vir\u00e9e du temps des f\u00eates Saturday, December 9, 2017 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Artists Carole Baillargeon and Mireille Racine will be present at the gallery to meet the public.
