"Since we last spoke" - Pierre Chaumont
by Pantocrator Gallery
Location: Pantocrator Gallery
Date: 20 Apr - 2 May 2013

For this series, Pierre Chaumont is using to create works a traditional Japanese craft called kumi himo which consists of tying a thin silk lace for it to form an organic or geometric shape (circle, ball, leaves, etc.) in a harmonious way. Originally it was believed that in every knot God was present and even if nowadays it has lost this meaning you can still find it for important events like wedding, funeral, child’s birth or starting a company. For him, it conceptually represents a way to highlight events in a community or individual's life. In a mixture of drawings, sculpture and video, he explores the possibilities of this technique to translate intangible moments.

his exhibition is possible in part with the help of the Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Québec.
