Dissonant Integrations
5 mars au 2 avril 2016
 
Vernissage: le samedi 5 mars, 15h-18h, à la Galerie Z Art Space. Gratuit et ouvert au public.
 
Ethnocultural Art Histories Research (EAHR) est heureux de présenter Dissonant Integrations, une exposition collective et un programme vidéo qui s’intéressent à la perturbation comme outil de contestation des représentations dominantes de la race, de l’ethnicité ainsi que d’autres formes d’identités fixes. Présentant douze artistes et collectifs basé-e-s au Canada et aux États-Unis, Integrations Dissonant cherche à élargir notre compréhension de la diversité par le biais des œuvres qui perturbent les stéréotypes ethniques et/ou raciaux, ainsi que les récits essentialistes de l'identité et des représentations culturelles.
 
De la photographie et la vidéo à la sculpture, les artistes sélectionnés travaillent à partir d’une variété de médias et recourent à des pratiques créatives diverses, telles que la réutilisation, l’autoethnographie et l'appropriation. Explorant les thèmes du déplacement, de l'immigration et de la diaspora, les artistes utilisent l'ironie, l'humour et l'expérimentation pour naviguer à la fois entre la représentation publique et de soi, l’identité nationale et mondiale, le familier et l'inconnu. En jetant une lumière sur les défis quotidiens auxquels font face les communautés ethnoculturelles, ces artistes explorent des problèmes sociopolitiques urgents qui ne cessent d’alimenter et de remettre en question le discours de l'art contemporain.
 
L’exposition Dissonant Integrations marque le cinquième anniversaire du groupe de recherche Ethnocultural Art Histories Research (EAHR), fondé en 2011. Elle s’inscrit en continuité avec son mandat visant à faciliter les possibilités d'échange et de création dans l’analyse des aspects liés à la représentation ethnique et culturelle dans les arts visuels au Canada. EAHR regroupe une communauté d'étudiant-e-s et de chercheur-e-s à travers le Canada issu-e-s principalement de l'Université Concordia, de l'Université McGill et de l'Université de Montréal.

Dissonant Integrations
March 5 – April 2, 2016
 
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 5, 3pm - 6pm, at Z Art Space. Free and Open to the Public.
 
Montreal (QC) - Ethnocultural Art Histories Research (EAHR) is delighted to present Dissonant Integrations, a group exhibition and video program investigating disruption as a tool to challenge dominant representations of race, ethnicity and other forms of fixed identities. Featuring twelve artists and collectives based in Canada and the United States, Dissonant Integrations seeks to expand our understanding of diversity through artworks that disrupt ethnic and/or racial stereotypes, and redress essentialist narratives of cultural identities and representations.
 
From photography and video to sculpture, the selected artists work in a range of media and draw on various creative practices, such as upcycling, auto-ethnography and appropriation. Exploring themes of displacement, immigration and diaspora, the artists use irony, humor and experimentation to navigate between public and self-representation, national and global identity, the familiar and the unfamiliar. By unraveling the everyday challenges faced by ethnocultural communities, these artists engage with pressing social-political issues that continually fuel and challenge contemporary art discourse.
 
Dissonant Integrations marks the fifth-year anniversary of Ethnocultural Art Histories Research Group (EAHR) since its founding in 2011 and demonstrates EAHR’s ongoing pursuit to facilitate opportunities for exchange and creation in the examination of issues of ethnic and cultural representation within the visual arts in Canada. EAHR is a community of students and researchers from across Canada, including Concordia University, McGill University and University of Montreal.
