Inventaires d'une collection

from Nov 13, 2024 to Jan 18, 2025
Galerie de l'UQAM

This exhibition tells the invisible history of the Collection d’œuvres d’art de l’UQAM through the inventories that have constituted and structured it over time. The exhibition highlights the lives of objects, their origins, and even their disappearance or destruction. Inventories are invaluable witnesses to how a collection is created, enriched, transformed, and exhibited. By assembling almost one hundred works and archival documents, the project reveals underlying narratives, ranging from the first objects collected by the École des beaux-arts de Montréal, between 1924 and 1968, to current digital databases. Conceived as a collaborative exercise, the exhibition also seeks to make several voices coexist and to imagine improbable encounters between artworks.

The exhibition is presented as part of the activities of the CIÉCO research group and the New Uses of Collections in Art Museums partnership.
