New Dawn

In Clara Lacasse’s series New Dawn, the artist takes a documentary, speculative, and poetic look at the Montréal Biodome’s recent renovation. Presented in parallel with the exhibition L’art de perruquer / Parallel Play, this project offers a behind-the-scenes look at this popular institution, uncovering what is normally hidden and what is being transformed through a perspective that is critical yet still imbued with the romanticism of building such a unique world.

Installed outside in Stewart Hall Park, New Dawn creates a dialogue between a natural habitat preservation area and the seasons that unfold there in real time. The photographs will remain on view through the summer, fall, winter and spring, inviting us to reflect on our relationship to the living world.

Vernissage: Sunday, July 5, 2 p.m.

Artist: Clara Lacasse
