DiVA Fair 2007 New York

Stills are real-time video-recorded tableaux vivants made using non-professional models. Rather than taking static photographs, the models were asked to remain as still as possible for several minutes while Hannah videotaped the performance. This process mirrors photographic practices of the mid 1800’s when exposure times were measured in minutes. The result is a work which exists somewhere between photography and the moving image, questioning and challenging our ideas of what constitutes a photograph or a “moving” image.

About the Gallery :

Established in 2001, Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain (PFOAC) is a commercial, contemporary, Montréal art gallery committed to showing photography, new-media, drawing, sculpture, installation art, and works on paper by a diverse group of Canadian multidisciplinary artists that includes: Marc Audette, Alexandre Castonguay, Luc Courchesne, Michel de Broin, Jérôme Fortin, Karilee Fuglem, Louis Joncas, Marie-Josée Laframboise, John Latour, Marie-Jeanne Musiol, Ed Pien, Roland Poulin, Michael A. Robinson, Annie Thibault and Johannes Zits.

Located one block west of the Musée d'art contemporain, and in the heart of Montréal, the gallery provides its artists an opportunity and a venue to show exploratory, museum-quality works alongside smaller art works more suited for private collections. Through its exhibition programming, participation at national and international art fairs, publications and web presence, the gallery provides continuity to the careers of its artists. The goal of the gallery is to develop a strong collector base for its artists.
