  • Alfred Pellan Le Rêveur Éveillé
    Communiqué Nouvelle exposition Dès le 20 février 2014 Alfred Pellan Le rêveur éveillé Québec, le mercredi 19 février 2014 ¤ Dans la foulée du redéploiement de ses collections dans le nouveau complexe muséal, le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec est heureux de consacrer, une salle à l’artiste Alfred Pellan, avec l’exposition Alfred Pellan. Le rêveur éveillé. Le pavillon Charles-Baillairgé, deviendra le haut lieu pour quatre artistes marquants de l’histoire de l’art québécois, Quatre figures de l’art moderne au Québec, soit Jean Paul Lemieux, Alfred Pellan, Fernand Leduc et Jean-Paul Riopelle. Alfred Pellan a travaillé toute sa carrière à construire et à maintenir une œuvre indépendante, en marge des groupements artistiques établis, tant en France, pays qu’il a habité de 1926 à 1940, qu’au Canada, où il est considéré comme l’un des ténors de la modernité culturelle. Aussi singulier soit-il, son art a néanmoins été perméable à certaines influences modernes et d’avant-garde. Ainsi, sa production parisienne est en partie traversée par une forme d’abstraction picturale empreinte des acquis du cubisme, et plusieurs de ses œuvres, dont quelques-unes réalisées dans la deuxième moitié des années 1930, présentent des éléments proprement surréalistes. Le Musée est subventionné par le ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec 1/13 L’exposition Alfred Pellan. Le rêveur éveillé propose une immersion dans l’univers visuel de l’artiste en vue de mettre en relief comment l’influence surréaliste se manifesta progressivement dans son travail, jusqu’à ce qu’elle apparaisse indéniable et qu’il la revendique pleinement.

En vertu de leur mandat, ceux-ci ont la tâche difficile de concilier leurs fonctions de délectation et d’éducation du public. Certains favorisent une approche plutôt que l’autre, mais tous portent un regard subjectif sur ce qu’ils exposent. Même si les œuvres semblent être disposées naturellement dans les salles, tout ce qui relève de la conception et de la réalisation des expositions est savamment construit et résulte d’un parti-pris de la part du musée. En fonction de ses choix, c’est-à-dire de ce qu’elle présente ou non et comment elle le fait, l’institution muséale participe à la définition de ce qu’est l’art et influence la signification des œuvres.

  • The Palm Oil Pioneer: Commander W.L
    SUSAN M. MARTIN MARTIN SUSAN M. The UP Saga Susan M. Martin Histories of the plantations sector in Malaysia have largely focused on the rubber industry and on the rise and fall of big British-owned colonial enter- prises. But since independence, the sector has entered a new phase of spectacular growth founded on the oil palm. This volume offers a radically different history by telling the fascinating story of United Plantations Berhad (UP), a firm of Scandinavian origin that has spanned both eras and evolved along quite different lines from the normal models of British imperial business. The book is also unusual in that the author had full access to well-preserved company records. Tracing the company’s origins before the First World War, The UP Saga describes the crisis years of economic depression, Japanese occupa- T tion and the turmoil of the Emergency, followed by Merdeka and the years he of spectacular growth that have lasted to the present day. ‘[The UP Saga] is expertly researched and is therefore a radically differ- UP ent history of the plantation industry. It offers the reader an authoritative and quite remarkable study … authenticated by the personal experiences The of many recognised experts in this field. … Through her work on The UP S Saga Susan Martin has produced a work of historic importance and great aga interest to all those interested in the development of the global palm oil industry.’ ~ William King, London Metropolitan University UP ‘Potential purchasers should not be fooled by the title into believing that this book is merely yet another company history.
