Mademoiselle Pogany (1-25), 2022 by Steve Giasson Just like the reverberating words and green walls, the intervention of Steve Giasson gives a sense of déjà vu. Twenty-five reproductions of the modernist masterpiece Mademoiselle Pogany, sculpted by Constantin Brâncuși in 1913, are installed on the floor. By seizing this canonical work and the history of its appropriations, Giasson creates oneiric associations based on fragments that have left their mark on him. Multiplied, the plaster heads have a somewhat disturbing presence and remind of artworks previously exhibited at Fonderie Darling. Along with the artist, perhaps some will recall that another imitation of Brâncuși’s sculpture was presented in Guillaume Adjutor Provost’s exhibition Vapeurs. Through a series of conceptual mirror effects, Giasson pays homage to appropriation practices and a dialogic approach to art history, while making visible how the experience of a work lingers in one’s memory. #insiderMTL #ArtMTL #MTLMoments #FonderieDarling #SteveGiasson (at Fonderie Darling) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2QLpDr6OR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
