Raymonde April ÉQUIVALENCES exhibit at Les Territoires, among others

Montréal-based photographer Raymonde April’s work centres around notions of autobiography, narrative and document. In her large-scale streams of images, she devises a patient play on permutations, a visual prose dominated by the principles of recurrence and discontinuity. Not only that, she also happens to be a pretty great lady and a catalyst in my own development as a photographer (thanks again !).  AND to top all of that off, the vernissage is tonight, so you haven’t missed out on the wine! So get yer Sorel’s on (Pajar’s, or whatever boots you’ve got) and head on down to Les Territoires, in the Belgo building, for 5 o’clock tonight.  I will be there and I will be bartending for part of the night (wink wink nudge nudge). Come and say hi and then spend some quality time with some great photography. Woot!

From Les Territoires:

Equivalences 1–4 is a project by Raymonde April developed in collaboration with curator Eduardo Ralickas. It consists of three distinct series of photographs and one video work shown in three Montréal spaces: (1) Occurrence, espace d’art et d’essai contemporains; (2) Les Territoires; and (3) Galerie Donald Browne. Most of the photographs, which contain a significant number of landscapes, are unpublished and were taken between 2005 and 2009. The project also includes some past and found images. Each of the three exhibitions is comprised of ten to fifteen images: landscapes, portraits and scenes of everyday life captured with large-format, 35mm and digital cameras in such different urban or rural settings as Montréal, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Eastern Quebec and Southern Alberta. While foregrounding landscape (and, occasionally, the insertion of figures within space), these series also contain prosaic elements that are given a poetic meaning by means of the transformative power of photography.

This project grew out of a desire to understand April’s creative process and to translate it into spatial terms. It is a topography of sorts which brings to the fore the way in which April’s photographic work functions by spatializing meaning—a process that is unique in the contemporary photographic landscape.
