Nika Fontaine’s work deals boldly with the viewer’s visual perceptions as well as their cultural ones, enacting an exploration of spirituality that elevates the use of glitter to a metaphysical level.   Combining a direct embrace of camp tropes and would-be kitsch materials with an intense regard on the sublime and the beautiful, she makes art that eliminates the distinction between the authentic and the artificial, in order to both celebrate and interrogate our multifaceted lives as embodied and psychological beings.   Individual Exhibition November 24 – December 24, 2016 Heimat Nika Fontaine	Pink Village is a video and photographic work that questions ideas of aid and assistance on the continent of Africa. It is a documentation of a performance where Monosov acts the part of Westerner and the villagers act their lives for her camera; all communicated through a veil of irony. Individual Exhibition November 24 – December 24, 2016 Exchange program with Catinca Tabacaru Gallery, New York

The videograms Lovers Journey and Porthole Eyes were created by Laurent Mulot during his residency at Les Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie en Gaspésie. Mulot made these artworks on a cargo boat travelling from Gaspesie to Côte-Nord, at latitude + – 49° 29’. They are part of a larger project started in 2001 called Middle of Nowhere, that takes place on 6 continents. Individual Exhibition October 15 – November 19, 2016 + – 49° 29’ Laurent Mulot	« At Joyce Yahouda Gallery, the exhibition Push and Pull is one part of the major Pierre Ayot retrospective (1943-1995) that I organized in a number of venues [...]I want to turn the usual reading of Ayot’s practice inside out, like one would do with a pullover or with a sock, in order to show the ‘’seams’’ of his work.[...] In this exhibition titled Push and Pull,by exhibiting some of Ayot’s artworks alongside other works by artists from different generations, who are more openly associated with formalistic issues, the curator wish to highlight how Ayot also explored and provided an original reflection about an artwork’s materiality.» - Excerpt from the text of curator Nicolas Mavrikakis Group exhibition October 15 – November 19, 2016 Push and Pull In the context of the Major Pierre Ayot retrospective Pierre Ayot, Paterson Ewen, Denis Juneau, Stéphane La Rue, Guido Molinari, Alana Riley, Andrea Szilasi, Claude Tousignant, Julie Tremble
«From August 18th to October 8th, 2016, Jacques Bilodeau will simultaneously present two exhibitions that are at once alike yet arrestingly different. At the Joyce Yahouda Gallery, the artist will display sculptural arrangements, while – harkening back to the early days of his career – opening his residence to the public, his house transformed into a massive work of art.»  [...] Individual Exhibition August 18 – October 8, 2016 En l'état Jacques Bilodeau	François Morelli’s video La mesure (2013-2014) is an ongoing project exploring the gentrification and transformation of the neighborhood of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Using a yardstick, Morelli measures the length of rue Ontario in Montreal, between the corners of rue Moreau, the extreme west point, and rue Viau, moving eastwards, making marks along his path. The yardstick, a family momento, was purchased in the 1950s at Grégoire, a local hardware store in the neighborhood. Individual Exhibition August 18 – October 8, 2016 La mesure Video François Morelli
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tenir les murs I thought to myself: what if I put together an unexpected, possibly even problematic exhibition, which forces the eye to consider the artworks in an entirely different way? An installation where the artworks are simply leaning against the walls! Group exhibition July 22 – August 6, 2016 Tenir les murs Curator: Joyce Yahouda Sarah Bertrand-Hamel, Marc Dulude, Massimo Guerrera, Benjamin Klein, Jason McKechnie, François Morelli, Michel Niquette, Fabrizio Perozzi, Sylvia Safdie, zipertatou	Composed of watercolors and sculptures, The Whole World Has Gone Joyously Mad is an installation by Nadine Faraj, inspired by female activists who use their nudity as a means to protest. According to the artist, this is a way for these women to draw attention to the cause they are fighting for. However it also makes them more vulnerable to the possible reactions of the public, often already hostile to their presence and their tactics. Description of works Individual Exhibition June 8 – July 16, 2016 The Whole World Has Gone Joyously Mad Nadine Faraj
Sébastien Worsnip’s series of paintings presented in ​​the exhibition Real Men Don’t Look at Explosions depicts moments of explosion, focusing on the instant where all is in flux in order to observe the transformations. Individual Exhibition June 8 – July 16, 2016 Real Men Don't Look at Explosions Sébastien Worsnip	Serenade tune the frequency of Elvis, born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and disappeared from the world in 1977, if we believe the official version. Is he reincarnated through the has-been suburbs material, industrial parks and shopping malls? On a synthetic grass carpet, borrowed from a mini-golf, an empty oil barrel is attached to a lift rescued from a manufacture. Perforated in the manner of a score for piano, mallets vibrates on the tubes, endlessly repeating a detuned version of Are you lonesome tonight. Serenade is the jukebox of solitudes, fueled by the mystery of Elvis. -From Daniel Canty text: Simple Machines (2012)  Individual Exhibition June 8 – July 16, 2016 Serenade: the last march of the King who refuses to die Video Thierry Marceau, Jonathan Villeneuve
'' For the project Back to the Future, a project that allows past works to be seen, I have selected videos , paintings, sculptures, and web art  for the pleasure of seeing them again - or for the first time in my Gallery.

Vision is a wondrous affair, navigating the line between acts of deciphering and of creating. Our perceived surroundings are a collection of images formed through the intricate workings of our senses, and the impressions prescribed by mood, memory and so much more. Individual Exhibition April 30 – June 4, 2016 Staring at the Sun Video Annie Briard

Shot on an iPhone through her front and back windows, Perry Bard’s work considers daily life as it unfolds in an urban environment. Out My Window, Down the Alley, Around the Corner and Up the Block documents two years of incessant construction, transitioning Bard’s New York City neighborhood from artists’ lofts to the third wealthiest zip code in the U.S. Immersed in a cacophony of hammers and drills, inside/outside, private/public dissolve into a nightmare defined as “normal.” Art Fair March 3 – 6, 2016 Moving Image art fair, New York Video Perry Bard	Art Souterrain, with the theme of "must art be appealing?” presents the video Rare birds in these lands (2013) by Céline Berger, at Joyce Yahouda Gallery. This video was proposed through a collaboration between Division of Labour Gallery in London and Joyce Yahouda Gallery. The video Rare birds in these lands (2013) was shot on location, before and after a workshop in which four artists and four managers were invited to participate, analyzing the risks that an artist's intervention in a company could represent for both parties. In this video work, the narrated voice over is a direct transcription of statements gathered at this occasion. Individual Exhibition February 27 – March 26, 2016 Rare birds in these lands In collaboration with Art Souterrain Céline Berger
Text by Nicolas Mavrikakis : Oh, the great epic tale of modern art! It was built by broad strokes of genius! Admittedly almost entirely by white, Western men, living in Paris and New York- but such free spirited, out-of-the-ordinary geniuses, living on the margins of society, sacrificing everything for art! However, the artist Alana Riley gives us a slightly different version of this heroic story…  Individual Exhibition February 8 – 29, 2016 Dividing Tasks and Power An exhibition presented in London (UK) in collaboration with Division of Labour Gallery Alana Riley	Event January 27 – February 10, 2016 DO IT MONTRÉAL - Galerie de l'UQAM presents at Joyce Yahouda Gallery an interpretation of the instructions of Kathryn Andrews by Louis-Philippe Côté, from January 27 to February 10, 2016 Painting
Art Fair January 20 – 24, 2016 London Art Fair Video Alana Riley	Text by the artist: « The new work I am presenting for this exhibition, the One Hundred Crowned Masterpieces of Painting collage book, began as a receptacle for my uncensored thoughts. A private place of immediate and intuitive reactions to an apparently impenetrable and authoritative hard-covered book with doublure binding and gilt edges about “One Hundred Crowned and Laurelled Masterpieces of Modern Painting”. »   Individual Exhibition January 16 – March 5, 2016 One Hundred Crowned Masterpieces of Painting Painting Andrea Szilasi
Daniel Horowitz’s work is characterized by a unique combination of realism and surrealist abstraction. In many of his compositions, faceless human figures work against backdrops of bizarre landscapes, mundane architecture or chimerical scenes. Horowitz's imagery alters the original nature of objects and scale, creating overall dreamlike atmospheres. Twisted and stretched objects or body parts rendered in vibrant colors channel the surreal while examining contemporary reality, social anxieties and displaced identity.   Individual Exhibition January 16 – March 5, 2016 Hypnagogia Painting Daniel Horowitz	« While the well-known anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion has a highly organic mystical ending, Julie Tremble’s most recent video, After Evangelion, takes us on a journey through a world made up of drifting fragments of rationality. Tremble’s new explorations continue her research into the ways in which outer space is represented, using images inspired by documentaries and science-fiction films, and graphics taken from scientific articles. The video centres on the blurred line that separates observation from reality, its reconstitution, and fiction. The representations are distinctly mysterious, reminding us that, in terms of physics and metaphysics, the meaning of our world lies beyond our stratosphere. Individual Exhibition January 16 – February 20, 2016 Après Evangelion Digital animation Julie Tremble
Text by Eric Lewis «“The Body is the most personal place that you can express from”, S. Safdie Continuing her decades-long investigation into the ways artistic media can uncover the continuities between the human and the natural, and the power of gesture to reveal that which is obscure to the naked eye, this collection of videos, photos and sculptures invites us to interrogate the intentionalities and commonalities behind artistic form and human expression.  Exploring the ways gestures unfold in both space and time, these works distillthe rich meanings and implications of gesture into images, both created and captured, but always subject to Safdie’s subtle yet purposeful manipulation. »   [...] Individual Exhibition October 29, 2015 – January 9, 2016 Body – Transforming – Gesture Photography, sculpture, video Sylvia Safdie
