Julie Tremblay installation at upART art fair October 2-5 in Toronto


Just a quick posting, to be supplemented in the next while. We are pleased to announce that Craig Scott Gallery will curate an installation of Julie Tremblay's work at a public art and installation art fair taking place at the Gladstone Hotel October 2-5. The upART installation consists of six life-size figures from her “Reflections” series sculpted from cast-off industrial sheet metal, five of which soar just below the Gladstone’s ceilings. As observed by Gary Michel Dault, “Tremblay’s figures are not so much models of the human figure as they are extrapolations from it. Shards of hi-tech Platonism, her airy personages are shadows of a sort, swooping and arcing and dangling through space—and not only through it: they are, in themselves, space. …[T]hey take up space even as they create it.”
Some use of one or more works held by collectors is expected, and the gallery appreciates the loans for the upART exhibition. The seated Reflections No 8 (above) will greet fair-goers as they enter the main doors of the Gladstone, while Reflections No 4 will be one of the pieces suspended from the ground floor ceiling.
