Marc Dulude
Causalité
Opening: Saturday, January 31, 2015, 4 - 6 pm
« In his exhibition Causalité, the artist presents a series of sculptures and drawings related to the idea of “cause and effect.” In the artworks exhibited, the materials are highlighted, as well as their transformation due to physical phenomena. Dulude tries to “recreate” the object; once it is produced, the piece does not represent the final work, but rather, a process of construction or deconstruction. The artwork therefore becomes the vehicle of a reaction through time. »

The thin line that separates gaze from perception is an interesting subject to artist Marc Dulude. Through his artistic practice over the last few years, he has tried to highlight the surprising and unpredictable effects that various natural phenomena can have on objects. In his essay L’imaginaire, Jean-Paul Sartre noted that « I always perceive more, and different to what I see. »
In the image of a scientist, before taking on his role as an artist, Dulude works to overcome the constraints of reality and creates a spacetime, to reveal a state, reaction, process or transformation of nature. It is important to specify that, by referring to the word “nature”, Dulude is not trying to refer to the physical landscape, but rather invites us to rethink our way of perceiving, understanding, and inhabiting it. He is thereby bringing forth and making accessible what Man cannot understand at first glance. It is an experience composed of subtleties that must be experienced rather than described.»
