A stone’s throw from the Musée Rodin, the Canadian Cultural Centre presents an exhibition entirely devoted to the French sculptors, and the monument “Les Bourgeois de Calais” (1885) in particular. At its heart is a new video installation that revisits the idea of the urban monument by taking apart and putting back together the sculpted group using actors.

Deploying classic tropes from the science fiction genre, including notions of futurism, fantasy, utopia/dystopia, the exhibition takes its title from the concept of the oracle–typically heroic deities, most often female, who act as communicative mediums, providing turning-points in narratives or conversations by speaking to the future in the present.

Xicheng District, like many traditional districts in China, is given an aggressive makeover in which any trace of its history is erased. All this mimics Chinese history which itself saw each dynasty disappear in favor of the next. As though assuming this history, or as a sweet inspiration, Zhang Litao gives us the gift of this experience.

Mathieu Mercier has selected works that seem very much opposed. On one hand, he chooses some of the many conceptual artworks in mfc-michèle didier’s collection, whose repetitive character has the potential to cause a particular psychological state of mind, close to beatitude; on the other hand, he confronts these with art works that reveal a much more sensual nature, erotic even.
