Sylvie Bélanger
Multimedia Installation
February 13–March 10, 1986

A multi-media, site-specific installation combining photographic assemblage, slide projection, video, and neon sculpture in a series of intriguing allegorical tableaus– Photo Montage, Spectres, Apocalypse, and Les Monolithes.

“For me art cannot be a form empty of social meaning, history or humanity, nor a pure aestheticism. Art is inseparable from and contingent with life as written gestures, moments, manifestations and things constituting a history. Art is social because it resuscitates again and again, fears, desires, hopes, anxieties, beliefs and the struggle of beings acting at once in relationships to each other and in a world that has its own relationships. Art is inseparable from its context.”
