Sophie Jodoin @ Musée d'art de Joliette
Published on September 20, 2011
SOPHIE JODOIN @ MAJ Small Chronicles of Everyday Violence *18 September 2011 – 8 January 2012
The works in this exhibition are a fascinating mix of drawings and collages inspired by the artist’s meditation on the suffering, both physical and mental, that is caused by violence. Violated, crippled and humiliated figures, represented with very few details, conjure up deceit, slyness and the irreparable damage inflicted by certain acts. Jodoin’s frank and brutal creations are small, but dramatic chronicles that poignantly bear witness to the human condition. The opening will take place Sunday, September 25 2011, at 2 pm. Exhibition tours with the artists and the curators at 1 pm.

Sophie Jodoin @ Galerie Bertrand Grimont, Paris
Published on June 03, 2011
’’The group show ‘body no/body’ is a proposal by Bertrand Grimont and Samy da Silva, which explores parts of a territory and myth associated with certain representations of the human body in contemporary practices. With a cycle of videos and visual pieces that reflect the body as assemblage, as a device where the imagination constructs signals and where the experience and the myth produce forms. Three main themes approached: interiority, imagination and the body itself as a receiver and transmitter signs.’‘
