CREATIVE MOMENTS: Free the steps
In conjunction with the exhibition I Want All the Above to Be the Sun by French artist Lili Reynaud-Dewar, this workshop will explore the theme of self-representation. More specifically, sculptural and video works will inspire you to consider the movement of the body and its interaction with the environment. As part of the workshop, images of public spaces in Place Ville Marie around the MAC will be integrated into your compositions, creatively combining drawing and photography.
Workshop in connection with the solo exhibition of Lili Reynaud-Dewar
Saturday 10 June 2023, 1:30 p.m. – 4 p.m.
CREATIVE MOMENTS: MARKED BY TIME
This workshop, inspired by Quebec artist Laurence Veri’s ceramic artworks, will incite you to create under the theme of the passing of time. By modeling shapes and textures that recall the natural world, you will intuitively explore the characteristics of various materials. Mysterious and fantastical, your compositions will give free reign to interpretation.

CREATIVE MOMENTS: POINT TO THE SKY
Quebecois artist Ivanhoë Fortier’s Tour sublunaire, 1965, is a sculpture created with intertwining, cut-out steel pieces. After observing the work’s formal characteristics, you will create a personalized assemblage composed of positive and negative spaces, revealing an array of metallic coloured surfaces.

CREATIVE MOMENTS: BLANK PAGE ON BLACK BACKGROUND
Step out of your bubble and take part in an adventure where humour and sarcasm collide. Influenced by the world of comics, you will discover an artwork by artist Walter Scott in which the trials and tribulations that artists may face are cynically addressed. During the workshop, we will share tips and strategies for drawing and scripting an illustrated story that make you think outside the box.

Two newly commissioned video installations by Montréal artist Nelson Henricks will spark our discussions and creative explorations. In addition to the exhibition, a selection of 15 Screen Tests created by Andy Warhol between 1964 and 1966 will also serve as a source of inspiration. During these two workshops, various themes will be addressed: the perception of colour and sound, musicality and different subjects taken from art history.
