Whence "an address to remember"?

Our young blog has attracted its first question. A correspondent asks about the context of the 'blurb' quotation included at the top of the blog: "An address to remember." - Lyne Boily, Host of Radio-Canada's Les arts et les autres.

Well, during Julie Tremblay's Reflections exhibition in May, Radio-Canada (the French arm of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) did a long review of the show on a weekly radio show called Les arts et les autres. The segment (both an English-language transcript and a link to the audio of the show) -- called "The sculptures of Julie Tremblay" -- can be accessed from a News page on the Craig Scott Gallery general website by clicking HERE.

In the transcript, you can see at the start of the discussion chain that Lyne Boily says a couple of interesting things about the gallery in general:

Lyne Boily: In Toronto, there are the ‘official’ places where galleries are grouped but when we open our eyes wide, and look in corners and hidden places, there are others who have some extremely interesting propositions on offer. This is the case of Craig Scott Gallery, located at 95 Berkeley, which is currently presenting the quite fascinating work of the Québécoise Julie Tremblay. Marjorie Murphy was attracted by the siren-chanting of her mermaids.

And, in closing the exhibition review:

LB: Well you give us the desire to go dance with them. Reflections, of Julie Tremblay. It is presented until June 1st so there is no time to waste. There are only two weeks left now. And it is at Craig Scott Gallery, located at 95 Berkeley. And I think that this is an address to remember as there are often interesting and pertinent offerings there. Thank you very much, Marjorie Murphy.

The photo at the start of this posting is an in situ shot of Tremblay's Reflections No 5, 7, and 8. Below is a close-up of the recycled industrial sheet metal she creates her works from: look closely and you might be able to guess what the metal has been used for, before being cast off.


Coming soon: a report on an exciting new project for Tremblay in Europe, involving the creation of 23 new works.
