The Americas Society is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent
works by Geneviève Cadieux, one of Canada's most significant
contemporary artists.
Born in 1956, Cadieux lives and works in Montreal. During the 1990s,
Cadieux created a compelling body of photographic works whose
subjects are nature, the human body, and relationships between the
sexes. She presents each disparate subject in a similar format and
with an equally intense emotional tenor, suggesting equivalencies and
interrelationships among them. Their large scale, sparseness, and
often tight, close-up framing give them an emotional weight seemingly
out of proportion to what is actually depicted. Geneviève Cadieux will
feature several photographs and one sculptural work: "Souffle," 1996, a
triptych of delicate blown-glass globes. "Geneviève Cadieux" was
organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Morris and
Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver. It has also traveled to the Art
Gallery of Hamilton in Ontario.
