The Association of Francophone Visual Arts Groups (AGAVF) is pleased to publish New Generation: Laboratoire 27.01.2019, Ottawa , a zine that promotes emerging Francophone artists and curators from 7 Canadian provinces. This collective publication initiative, carried out as part of the 2019 Trajectories Forum held in Ottawa on January 27, and which marked the 20th anniversary of the AGAVF, brings together the voices of 22 artists and curators. The zine, printed in five hundred copies, is part of the comfort package sent to delegates from Terres à travers, the ARCA national conference, organized this year by the Association of Artist-Run Centers of Alberta, and is one of the activities of the program presented in French.

<register for Terres à traverser

This zine, New Generation: Laboratoire 27.01.2019, Ottawa , ephemeral, perishable document, easy to reproduce and always in draft form, seeks to bear witness to the discussions held by the delegates of the new generation of AGAVF members during the Laboratory living of the Trajectoires Forum 2019 . This laboratory was, above all, a networking opportunity and, for many, it was the first contact with the national network of AGAVF. The Laboratory gave the delegates the opportunity to present their artistic and administrative work, and also to meet around a discussion on the challenges faced by the new generation. This discussion sought to chart new trajectories for AGAVF.

Also, discussions around more or less long-term pan-Canadian initiatives have been initiated and many wish to continue the conversation. The impact of the Ford government’s cuts on the Ontario Francophonie also mobilized discussions. The pros and cons of publishing a manifesto at the exit of the Forum have been weighed and finally transformed into personal statements that constitute the images and words assembled here. A manifest? Possibly; but certainly, a manifestation of the exchanges crossed by the amalgam of worries, doubts, certainties and common wills. This document is built with several voices which are interwoven in the fabric of our possibilities of encounter, of our common experience as a generation and as a multitude.

On July 9, Anne Bertrand, communications manager at AGAVF, spoke with Rémi Belliveau, artist and candidate this year for the Sobey Prize, as well as president of AGAVF, to learn more about the production context of the zine, and imagine the impact of this networking experience on his artistic practice and that of the participating artists on the AGAVF and on the French-speaking artistic community in Canada.

AGAVF talks to RÉMI BELLIVEAU
artist and president of AGAVF

The AGAVF : You participated in a forum which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the AGAVF on the occasion of which members of the new generation gathered to take and assert a position in the form of a zine / manifesto. In terms of political representation, how can this personal artistic approach be reconciled with the need for a structured and concerted organization?

Rémi Belliveau : In my opinion, more conceptual and / or affective approaches have as much scope as the rational approaches that are normally favored in political language, such as statistics, case studies, viewing exercises, etc. (which are useful anyway). The zine may be conceptual in its form, but above all it contains the feelings of a new generation who dreams of better conditions for artistic creation in French outside Quebec. That’s the strength of this zine I believe – it contains our real desires as we feel them. No sugar coating.

In your opinion, where are the participants in this trajectory, two years later?

RB : Hard to know. We discussed very large issues, such as the lack of post-secondary education in visual and media arts in francophone communities, and since our meeting, the health record of francophone universities in Ontario has deteriorated. It’s not encouraging, but the people who contributed to the zine were writing very enthusiastically. Me that motivates me. I feel like things have improved elsewhere, even if only in our ability to work together as a group, because since the meeting many of us have kept bonds.

And, as president of AGAVF, are you in a position to talk about the impact of this meeting?

RB : The networking was fantastic. For us who live in the East of the country, we were very excited to see so many young Francophones from the West and the Prairies. It is these pan-Canadian ties that have endured, but I would go even further to say that most of us have become friends, that our relationships have been forged closer over time, over time. beyond a simply professional relationship. We are connected on social networks. We support each other in our artistic projects. And besides, I can’t wait to read Alasdair Rees’ collection of poetry which has just been published!

I recognize that the pandemic will have disrupted business, among other things, your exhibition at UQAM. Did this group stay in touch despite this interruption?

RB : The larger group has not formally kept in touch, but a number of members do. During the pandemic, a few of us were part of the editorial committee of the FR magazine which will be launched on September 16, as part of Zones théatrales (Zoé Fortier, Alasdair Rees and myself) and others participated as contributor-author to the review (Elise Anne LaPlante) or as an artist (Annie France Noël).

Rémi Belliveau is an interdisciplinary artist and an Acadian musician from Belliveau-Village (Vallée de Memramcook, NB), an Acadian hamlet located on the Mi’kma’ki, an ancestral territory not ceded from the Mi’kmaq people. Since 2012, his work has been presented in several exhibition contexts in the Maritimes and in Quebec. In parallel with his artistic practice, he co-directed Galerie Sans Nom (Moncton) with Annie France Noël (2014 to 2018), twice played the role of (co) curator (2015, 2018), was in charge of of courses at the Université de Moncton (2017) and contributed texts to the journal Canadian Art.

The Charlotte Street Arts Centre is a unique community in Fredericton that sustains, promotes and develops the arts by providing access to an essential hub of professional resources, facilities and dynamic programming within the New Brunswick community, and strives to make arts experiences available to all. 

As with any charitable non-profit, CSAC is continuously fundraising to provide quality programming and services. This summer, they have several exciting camps, events, and showcases happening.

The CSAC will be welcoming new participants into Healing HeARTS, a monthly program in partnership with NB Copes and the Fredericton Community Foundation, which helps youth work through grief and loss with expressive arts.

The CSAC is also holding Open Your Art, an Art Intensive Summer Camp that gives youth designers an opportunity to dive deeper into their own individual art process & projects happening during the weeks of July 12 to 16, and July 12 to 23.

During the week of July 26 to 30, the CSAC is hosting Girls+ Rock! Camp, a week-long camp for girls, trans and gender non-conforming people aged 11-18 to learn instruments, write songs and rock out on stage with a final showcase on July 30th.

On August 7th, CSAC will be welcoming Julien Dionne and Jen Grant for An Evening of Stand-Up Comedy.

As well, Back to Our Roots, New Horizons multi-disciplinary art & theatre programming for seniors, will be held during the week of August 16th to 20th with follow up activities for the public to come. 

Ongoing throughout the summer, the CSAC Selfie Station Installation by Fredericton Arts Alliance can be found, a part of Melanie Courcelle’s FAA residency.

And later on in the year, from October 1 to 3 the CSAC will host FEST FORWARD 2021, as well as the Music NB Showcases and Awards from October 19 to 23.

The CSAC has some galleries they are currently showing including Reflections and Recollections by Laura Forrester in the Charlotte Glencross Gallery, FR/AG/MENTED F/OOD by Katie Hamill in the Penny Gallery, both showing from May 13 to July 19, and the Connexion ARC Members’ Show showing from July 22 to September 6.

Online Book Launch
Saturday, 24 July @ 4:00 PM (ADT)
Zoom

Umbrella Projects, in partnership with Art Metropole, is thrilled to announce the launch of Evidence of the Avant Garde Ex-Library by Derek Sullivan.

In this new artist book, Sullivan revisits Art Metropole’s 1984 Catalogue Evidence of the Avant Garde Since 1957, a seminal book and exhibition on distributed art practices (artworks that require wide circulation to fulfill their intent). Referencing a copy purchased from a library book sale, Sullivan produces hand-drawn facsimiles of the original pages with added interruptions of other distributed objects and artefacts, such as prisms of light, pollen, metro tickets, and pamphlets. In reproducing these moments, the drawings examine the poetics of circulating artworks and the content that they pick up along the way.

Evidence of the Avant Garde Ex-Library
By Derek Sullivan

Derek Sullivan’s work responds to systems of distribution and how the meaning of objects change as they circulate in the world. His recent drawings look at the structure of books and their subjects, exploring the relationships between physical reproduction and the spread of information.

In this new publication of drawings, Sullivan reprints Evidence of the Avant Garde Since 1957, first published by Art Metropole in 1984, one of the first books (and exhibitions) to curate and catalogue distributed art practices – artworks that required wide circulation to fulfill their intent.

Based on Sullivan’s own copy of the original catalogue purchased from a library book sale, the original pages are interrupted by other kinds of distributed objects: prisms scatter rainbows, ragweed’s pollen gives the reader a runny nose, metro tickets spill out of pockets, invasive dandelions are dug out of a garden, recent art pamphlets pile up on the table. In reproducing these moments, Evidence of the Avant Garde Ex-Library examines the poetics of circulating artworks and the content that they pick up along the way.

Derek Sullivan (b. 1976, Richmond Hill, Ontario) studied at York University (BFA 1999) and the University of Guelph (MFA 2002). His solo exhibitions include The Booklover at the Dunlop Art Gallery (Regina), Albatross Omnibus at The Power Plant (Toronto), The Missing Novella at Oakville Galleries (Oakville), Bulletin Board at Whitecolumns (New York) and More Young Americans at Kiosk (Ghent, Belgium). Sullivan has been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including BNL MTL 2012 (Montreal), Where do I end and you begin at City Art Centre (Edinburgh) and Blue times at Kunsthalle Wien (Vienna). His books, prints, and editions have been published by Paul & Wendy Projects (Toronto), Art Metropole (Toronto), Boabooks (Geneva), NSCAD Lithography Workshop (Halifax), Printed Matter Inc. (New York), and Bywater Bros. (Toronto). Sullivan has been nominated five times for the Sobey Art Award, including being shortlisted in 2012. He is an Associate Professor (Sculpture/Installation) at OCAD University, and lives and works in Toronto and Tamworth, Ontario.

“I often imagine that I am sculpting with paint to create dimension and lift. I always approach my work with enthusiasm and energy, preferring natural subjects – in particular flowers, animals and birds, sea & landscapes.”

– Helen Shideler

These workshops are supported by the Ontario Arts Council’s ‘Artists in Communities & Schools Projects’ grants.

Due to COVID-19, we couldn’t run our usual in-person workshops this year, so I created a special online video series called ‘Drawn to Life: Animation in Nature.’ The student and teacher response has been extremely positive.”

Nouveaux projets vedettes

Chez Les mots s’animent nous offrons, depuis 18 ans, des lectures théâtrales dans les écoles dans le but d’éveiller la curiosité chez les jeunes envers les différents styles littéraires et pour leur transmettre notre passion pour la lecture. Notre formule éprouvée plaît aux enseignants, puisqu’elle est participative, ludique et très concrète. Plusieurs enseignants nous ont «adopté» et nous allons à la rencontre de leur nouveau groupe, année après année. Nous sommes devenus un outil innovant qui s’inscrit autant dans la pédagogie scolaire que dans l’offre culturelle à l’école. Nous peaufinons et améliorons notre catalogue de textes d’année en année à la lumière des commentaires des enseignants qui nous font confiance.
