TAMMI CAMPBELL
NEW WORKS

21 November – 23 December 2015
Galerie Hugues Charbonneau, Montréal

Galerie Hugues Charbonneau is pleased to present Tammi Campbell’s first solo exhibition in Montréal. The artist offers a collection of seven works that cleverly play with the mechanics of painting, the illusion of the senses, and viewers’ expectations.

This new body of work closely follows research begun by Campbell in her previous series titled, Work in progress and Paper series. In open dialogue with the legacy of Modernism and Minimalism, she explored the specificity of the medium of painting and the fetishism of the creative process through works that are painted in trompe-l’œil, but appear to remain unfinished. In Work in Progress, Campbell created simulated beige and green strips of masking tape that effectively imitate the process behind the making of geometric, hard-edge abstract paintings. In Paper series, the potential of the white page is left untouched, as no pictorial element can be detected on its surface, until one realizes that the page itself is made entirely of paint.

For their sophomore exhibition at Galerie Hugues Charbonneau, Séripop – the collaborative practice of Chloe Lum and Yannick Desranleau – will be exhibiting a new presentation of multi-disciplinary work. Known for their large scale sculptural installations constructed of brightly coloured – sometimes printed – paper materials, The Face Stayed East and the Mouth Went West (elements) exhibition distinguishes itself by referencing that sculptural work and its concepts through photo-based installation and performance.

Papier 15 as always dedicated its art fair programme towards works exclusively made on paper, to include drawings, prints, collages, photography as well as three-dimensional paper-based objects. The annual fair opened its 8th edition between 24 and 26 April, and over the years, Papier’s reputation has risen to now feature among the top do-not-miss events on Montreal’s contemporary arts calendar. For 2015 Papier relocated to Complexe de Gaspé, which is rapidly developing into a new arts hub, housing four floors of artist studios and six artist run spaces in the hip Mile End district. The fair took over the top three floors of this 11-story building filled in natural light, to accommodate 39 galleries from across Canada. Comparatively to previous years, the somewhat leaner line-up of exhibiters did combine many regulars with first timers such as Diaz Contemporary (Toronto [TO]), Lisa Kehler Art + Projects (Winnipeg), Initial Gallery (Vancouver) and Studio 21 Fine Art (Halifax). The smaller numbers of booths were nonetheless particularly well positioned in an otherwise enormous space, circling the middle of each floor to leave a wide walkway around the window-covered external walls, for visitors to also enjoy a 360 panoramic view of La Belle Ville.

Interview: Séripop mashes noise and minimalism

Montréal based artist duo Séripop (Chloe Lum and Yannick Desranleau) are known for their printed paper-based artwork, often assembled from loud and colourful posters into the large installations, as well as for their noise band AIDS Wolf and unique fashion style. Although they have been around for nearly a decade, they recently popped out as a breath of fresh air on Montréal’s art scene for the Quebec Triennial in 2011. M-KOS visited their studio in Mile End, the city’s main artist quarter.

MKOS: Can you tell us how Séripop started out?

Yannick Desranleau [YB]: We initially got together as a couple in 1999 and both were doing art and music on the side, but really it was the music that brought us together.

Chloe Lum [CL]: We decided to start a band playing music together and ended up merging our art practices. We were both doing videos and performances at the time.

YB: We didn’t start collaborating full-time until 2002.

CL: When we dropped out the school, we really became a collaborative unit. Because we were playing music, in a DIY noise band, and it seemed natural for us to start making posters for our shows. We started seeing posters as a place we could experiment formally and realize some possibilities by looking at them on the streets.
