  • Dana Schutz Patrick Bernatchez Camille Henrot Michel De Broin
    Dana Schutz Patrick Bernatchez Camille Henrot Michel de Broin Museomix Ragnar Kjartansson Musée’s New Exhibitions on Tour Musée Ball Magazine of the contemporain Musée d’art de Montréal Volume 26, Number 2 — Fall 2015 Number 26, 2 — Fall 2015 Volume editorial | 1 The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal is a triumph of provocative multi-disciplinarity, with our three fall exhibitions by three extraordinary artists—Dana Schutz, Patrick Bernatchez and Camille Henrot—variously featuring painting, drawing, sculpture, sound and video. What may at first glance appear to be three unrelated propositions are shown, on closer inspection, to share a deep concern for mutation, metamorphosis and transformational cycles of destruction and regeneration. In her first Canadian survey exhibition, American painting sensation Dana Schutz forces us to imagine unthinkable situations and unspeakable acts, as the artist expertly conjures all manner of absurdly improbable scenarios in and through paint, running the gamut from com- edy and discomfort to pathology and disfiguration. The work of this internationally renowned Photo: John Londoño painter is informed by rereadings of early twentieth-century avant-gardes, principally cubism and expressionism, and almost every other movement and revival up to this day. It can be understood as a productive conversation with the history of painting and as a compelling tes- tament to painting’s complex and supposedly unending death throes. Every mark and gesture, every acid hue in Schutz’s sometimes disturbing work is willed from somewhere at once pri- mal and intelligent, surfacing as something inevitable and charged. Following the museum’s recent successful exhibitions of two great Montréal artists, David Altmejd and Jon Rafman, we’re delighted to turn our gaze now to another stunning Montrealer, Patrick Bernatchez, whose sensibility, poetics and fearless imagination dazzle in a wide-ranging body of work that explores notions of space, time and duration.
