[spectre] exh. Tania Ruiz Gutiérrez im Montréal opens Thursday

[Andreas Broeckmann]

Tania Ruiz Gutiérrez
Les figures du temps et de l'espace
Curator: Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre

August 28 to October 6, 2012
Opening: Thursday, September 6, at 5:30 p.m.

A two-part exhibition produced by DAGAFO and presented in collaboration 
with Galerie de l'UQAM and Cinémathèque québécoise.

In her video works, Franco-Colombian artist Tania Ruiz Gutiérrez 
examines modes of representing time and space and reflects on the future 
of the city. Mixing popular tradition and high art, she demonstrates 
that systems of representation such as perspective and the linear 
passage of time, which puts the past behind the present and proceeds 
toward the future, are not givens but vehicles of particular world 
views. Ruiz also focuses on behaviours in public space. She presents the 
city as a stage, a circumscribed environment where, although everything 
is possible in theory, forces beyond the individual act on behaviour and 
call into question our degree of freedom. A second component of the 
exhibition will be presented at Cinémathèque québécoise at the same time.
