Ten years of accomplishments by the Daniel Langlois Foundation
To mark the tenth anniversary of the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science, and Technology (DLF), the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts will present works by ten artists from Canada and abroad who have received funding from the DLF. The exhibition e-art : New Technologies and Contemporary Art – 10 Years of Accomplishments of the Daniel Langlois Foundation will present an outstanding selection of spectacular works, some of which were specially commissioned for this event. They all demonstrate the part played by digital technology in the transformation of a work of art and the artists’ interest in the phenomena of language, encoding and the translation of one system and one reality into another.
Works by the following artists will be presented in the exhibition: Philip Beesley (Canada), Jim Campbell (USA), Marie Chouinard (Canada), Luc Courchesne (Canada), Jessica Field (Canada), Lynn Hershman Leeson (USA), Eduardo Kac (Brazil/USA), Rafael Lozano-Hemmer (Mexico/Canada), Catherine Richards (Canada), and David Rokeby (Canada).
This exhibition is a co-production of the Daniel Langlois Foundation and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
