Maude Arès : activations of the installation

May 10, 2019

Galerie de l’UQAM invites you to see artist Maude Arès activate the miniature collection of fragmented materials that make up the installation L’algue flotte dans une rivière, amenée par le débit de l’eau, elle s’agrippe à la pierre, elle y reste longtemps.

An arrangement of dead, brown flowers, a green ram’s horn, blue rocks, pieces of drywall from a crumbling house, dull matte black ultra-resistant aluminum foil, purple clovers that peek through the holes of a baseball cap, a hardened piece of eraser. Throughout the installation, makeshift tools bring to life a miniature collection of fragmented materials. At once precious and hazardous, these elements depict a world where fragility and strength are one and the same.
