As part of the residency project, Dominique Sirois will be building on her ongoing series Indice éternité.  While presenting some existing pieces from Indice éternité Sirois will be building new works for her show Indice éternité II

Indice éternité is part of a series of projects relating art and economy with an original perspective. For this creation, Sirois takes as a starting point emotions like the desire for gain and the fear of loosing, widespread tendencies that are particularly exacerbated in the realm of finance. Indice éternité II explores death as the ultimate obstacle in capitalism and considers contemporary research on eternal life in a world full of the inequalities.

Besides the new pieces that will be created during the residency, Dominique Sirois has selected work from artists Simon Belleau and Luc Paradis to create a dialogue with her work.

 

Dominique Sirois is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Montreal, she holds a MFA from UQAM in visual art. Her work deals with three fields of interest: value and surveillance, economy and affects, and ruins and obsolescence. She has exhibited nationally and has presented her work internationally as part of residencies and collaborations.
