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. »   [...] October 29, 2015 – January 9, 2016 Body – Transforming – Gesture Photography, sculpture, video Sylvia Safdie	Text by Joan Fontcuberta, guest curator « The post-photographic readiness to make use of overwhelming quantities of images is reminiscent of what Umberto Eco refers to as a “catalogue aesthetic,” as opposed to a “finished form aesthetic.” Today, production and distribution are no longer successive phases in the visual communication process – rather, they are merged into one simultaneous action. This creative strategy dictates the conceptual framework of Paul Wong’s works. A massive compilation of images fuels projections and video installations, based on complex classification criteria and spatio-temporal structures, governed by the “catalogue aesthetic.” » September 10 – October 17, 2015 Multiverse In collaboration with Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal Paul Wong
In conjunction with the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Joyce Yahouda Gallery welcomes the New York-based photographer Hank O’Neal, to present The Golden Age of Jazz, a photography exhibition linked to the international world of jazz. Considered one of the major photographers in the United States by The New York Times magazine in 2003, O’Neal has also been a music producer for 40 years, and specializes in jazz. He is currently director of the Jazz Foundation of America. ‘’ I took my first photograph of a jazz/blues musician in January 1964 (Mississippi John Hurt) and my most recent in March 2015 (new MacArthur winner, Steve Coleman). In between there have been thousands of others. What makes so many of these photographs unique is that almost without exception, every photograph from the late 1960s until today were taken at events, concerts, recordings or festivals I produced. I was very fortunate in that I was present at many wonderful gatherings of the finest jazz musicians of the second half of the 20th Century, a time many would say was the golden age of jazz. ‘’ (Hank O’Neal) June 27 – August 22, 2015 The Golden Age of Jazz Photography Hank O'Neal	‘’Laurent Mulot offers us a work that was unseen before taking the form of a long term experience called “Middle of Nowhere”. “Middle of Nowhere”, a work encompassing the whole artist’s production, is a tale opening with the Ghost Contemporary Art Centers that the artist created all over the world, on each continent: Australia, China, France, Latin America, Morocco, Antarctica and soon enough in ISS (International Space Station).’’ (Abdelkader Damani) In this exhibition, Laurent Mulot presents a series of photographs of the ghost contemporary art centers as well as a sculpture entitled Now Melting Here. The work Now Melting Here was created following the last installation of the 6th art center, located in Antartica. In parallel with the development of the project – six centers on six continents – ice moulded into the letters ANTGCAC (Antarctic Ghost Contemporary Art Center) melts according to the surrounding climate, above an oval mirror, thus referring to issues of global climate change.

« 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. » Text by the artist January 29 – March 21, 2015 Causalité Sculpture, drawing Marc Dulude	For the exhibition À la lueur de Bébé Lune, the artist presents holograms and a series of photographs created using handmade models. He reworks his images using digital processing tools in order to give his fictitious universe a realistic feel with a tinge of fantasy. « In zipertatou’s world, you can enter through the door. It’s as simple as that. Once inside, you can explore this imaginary space that can barely contain itself, freely, with indescribable pleasure. It overflows from the frames, and onto the gallery walls. » (Exerpt from Marie-Andrée Houde's text)     January 29 – March 21, 2015 À la lueur de Bébé Lune Photography, hologram zipertatou
«The video is the high point of a lengthy botanical/art project, during which I was documenting the sprouting of white bean seeds in a series of stills. The film was edited from a sequence of individual images taken at regular intervals, a technique called time lapse. The result is a heartrending complete lifecycle. The seeds are like living creatures, with the desire and the ability to move, starting as white spiders and transforming into delicate swans flying into death.» (Exerpt from Inbal Hoffman's text)  January 29 – March 21, 2015 Incubator Curator: Carmit Blumensohn Inbal Hoffman	Son of the 4th Baron Haden-Guest, inveterate clubber at Studio 54 in the 70’s, friend of Andy Warhol, acquaintance with many contemporary artists like Damien Hirst, Anthony Haden-Guest is a well-known personality in the New York and British art scene.

«My paintings depict nocturnal world borderline between chaotic wilderness and a garden pastoral, buzzing with colors, energies and life.
