Opening of the Fall Exhibitions:
The FOFA Gallery is pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibitions PRETTY TALK by Mara Eagle and Histoires Fil'tisses by Kesso Saulnier. At 4:30 p.m., don't miss Mara Eagle's guided tour of the exhibition!
Admission is free.
About Mara Eagle's exhibition
The 3D animated video Pretty Talk (2023) forms the core of Eagle's solo exhibition. The soundtrack is an immersion into the daily life of a small and decidedly ridiculous North American suburb with computer-generated images creating hyper-realistic visual incarnations of human or non-human figures who act as the ventriloquists puppets in this avian and human black comedy.
About Kesso Saulnier's exhibition
"Histoires Fil'tisses explores my bond with my children and my various experiences of motherhood," says Saulnier. "I relate births, moments of grace, loss and grief, post-partum emotions, and the various metamorphoses of my body. The series sheds light on my daily life, giving voice to an experience too often relegated to the shadows. The works, made from sketches reworked directly with thread, are inspired by the blues and jazz songs of billie holiday and nina simone."

À propos de l'exposition de Mara Eagle
La video d'animation 3D Pretty Talk (2023) forme le cur de lexposition de Mara Eagle. La trame sonore nous plonge dans la vie quotidienne d'une petite banlieue nord-americaine, avec une image de synthese qui engendre des incarnations visuelles hyperrealistes de personnages humains ou non, qui agissent comme les marionnettes ventriloques de toute cette noire comedie doiseaux et dhumaines.
A propos de l'exposition de Kesso Saulnier
"Histoires Fil'tisses explorent mon lien a mes enfants et mes diverses expériences de maternité. Je raconte les naissances, les moments de grâce, les pertes et les deuils, les émotions post-partum, ainsi que les différentes métamorphoses de mon corps. La série met en lumière mon quotidien, donnant voix à un vecu trop souvent relegue dans lombre. Les oeuvres, réalisées à partir d'esquisses retraduites directement avec du fil, s'inspirent des chansons blues et jazz de Billie Holiday et de Nina Simone."
