De-con-structions (English)

Josée Drouin-Brisebois

De-con-structions focuses on works by Michel de Broin, Jean-Pierre Gauthier, Karilee Fuglem, Tricia Middleton and Annie Thibault, five Quebec artists whose interventions question the museum as idea and context. The installations created by these artists prompt the museum to confront and question its role of collecting, preserving, and displaying art; in their hands, the gallery space itself is transformed from a repository for art into an artist's studio and laboratory.
