The Alliance Française of Calgary and Sabine Lecorre-Moore are teaming up to present an exhibition at cSPACE. This exhibition is called Memory and consists of abstract paintings painted on large canvases. Sabine uses watercolour, a delicate medium to depict the fragility of our memory.
Project Conversation
The artistic duo Conversation is composed of Patricia Lortie and Sabine Lecorre-Moore. Recently, they have created, with the help of the public, a mural on a Plexiglas support. This project, titled Awareness, took place November 3 at the ACFA gala (Association canadienne-française de l’Alberta). The resulting artwork is a vibrant portrait of Calgary’s diverse Franco-Albertan community.
Of Interest: Canadian Art Books
An idea for end of the year presents: books about Canadian artists. Here are my favourites that I keep handy in my studio.
- Oh, Canada or: How I Learned to Love 3.8 Million Square Miles of Art North of the 49th Parallel, a book on contemporary art made in Canada.
- Livre Livre, a Franco-Canadian book explaining the intricacy of writing an artist statement.
- Chris Cran: Sincerely Yours, this book, about one of the great Alberta artist, is so beautiful that it could be hang on a wall as an artwork.
- Earthlings Nunajuarmi Nunaqaqtut Terriens, a superb exhibition catalogue by the Esker Foundation, gathering the artists Roger Aksadjuak, Shuvinai Ashoona, Pierre Aupilardjuk, Jessie Kenalogak, John Kurok, Leo Napayok et Shary Boyle.
Video
This video was created by the video artist Evelyne Asselinand made possible by a generous grant from the RAFA, Rassemblement Artistique Francophone de l’Alberta. This video is a in-studio conversation with the visual artist Sabine Lecorre-Moore, about her painting and artistic process.
