Credos 3

The third edition of Credos took place on August 29th, 2020 as part of Art in the Open in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and supported by Verticale. It featured the work of Lea Cetera, Michael Eddy, Cliff Eyland, Michael Fernandes & Craig Leonard, Mina Hedayat, Asako Iwama & Derrick Wang and Sean Lynch.

 

Credos is an ongoing exploration into the spiritual searching that emerges through artistic practices. It began as a series of tabletop presentations of art works and discussions in church bazaars in Laval, Quebec. The invited participants are artists and writers whose work has engaged with belief in various ways, many of whom have dealt with their own personal experiences of organized religions, without staging a rejection or a celebration. Rather, there is a translation process involved.

This edition also featured Credos Radio, an accompanying live 8-hour radio program, playing on a speaker as part of the installation in the plaza next to the Confederation Centre, as well as streaming online.

Inhale Exile Part 1: The Break

Exhibited at L’escalier, Montreal, CA, from May 21 to July 16, 2016.

This first iteration of the curatorial project Inhale Exile, subtitled “the break,” consists of two parts: an installation in the space of L’escalier, and a screenings of video works punctuating the run of the exhibition. The smoke break and the discourses and speech acts (rumours, counter-histories) produced there are understood as aesthetic potentialities of smoking culture. In institutional contexts, these breaks have engendered reconfigurations of time and space, the sharing of informal comments or opinions, private thoughts in public.

“The break” included works by: Sean Lynch, Leisure (Susannah Wesley, Meredith Carruthers), Michael Fernandes, Gareth James, Roger Quallen, Alessandro Rolandi, Lawrence Weiner*, Philip Guston*, Richard Prince*, Lee Lozano*, Claire Fontaine*, Hans Haacke*, David Hammons* and screenings of videos by Nina Koennemann, Lee Kit, Erik Blinderman, Steve Carr, Knowles Eddy Knowles, Daniel Olson and Christian Boltanski.
