Battling the biting cold, Emmanuelle Léonard had the idea of working with a thermal camera.  Patiently awaiting the precise alignment of elements within each composition, she never staged the scenes unfolding in front of her lens. The series Black Out (The Deliverers) authentically captures the experiences of workers, particularly food delivery people, silently and steadfastly carrying out their duties amid the impactful era of the pandemic.

Métroscopies

January 31 to March 16, 2024

Opening January 31, 2024 from 5pm – 7pm

 

Métroscopies is a videographic exploration of the Montreal Metro within the context of the Covid pandemic. The videos capture spontaneous moments enabled by the discreet use of a smartphone and the anonymity provided by mandatory masks. Through the interplay of parallaxes, fragmented into a kind of cubist checkerboard, the narrative navigates seamlessly from tunnel to station, from familiar locales to the realms of visual art, all in the pursuit of serendipitous encounters. Along an unexpected trajectory, we observe the whirlwind of this chronicle of moments, characterized by Brutalist accents and epochal colours, featuring spaces that have indelibly shaped our imaginations and continue to punctuate our daily lives.

my horniness is the only thing keeping me alive

November 17 to January 10, 2024

Opening November 17, 2023, 17h- 19h

 

Through her paintings, Angie Quick depicts life as fiery, beautiful and mysterious. Challenging moral clichés and the narrow list of dos and don’ts to which we sometimes attach our thoughts and actions, Quick celebrates the messiness of lived experience.

Montreal (Quebec) H2X 2W3

Opening Saturday September 9, 2 to 5pm, introduction of the artists @ 3pm

 

Special Event, Gallery Weekend: September 29, 2023 from 5:30 – 6:00pm. The public is invited to a Cocktail Hour conversation with Evergon & JJ Levine to explore the photographs in The Look.

 

Once the language and bond of eye contact is established, it should be cherished. Savour the knowing looks, the love and understanding that exists without a single word, and the intimacy built on nothing but glances and stares.” 

 

ELLEPHANT is proud to present The Look: Evergon, Emmanuelle Léonard and JJ Levine, three generations of important photographers based in Montreal. The exhibition marks the first time these three artists have been presented together. What unites the photographs selected for The Look is the subjects in each photograph stare directly at the viewer with a confrontational gaze.
