Dans les profondeurs des lacs du Québec, Andréanne Godin observe la lumière du soleil captée par les innombrables particules en suspension. Apparaissent en alternance des faisceaux scintillants, des lueurs irisées et des effets de réverbération. Des ocres émergent parmi une palette de nuances minérales oxydées, passant du brun mordoré au rouge vermeil. Lors de ses plongées, une lumière colorée opaque habite complètement le champ de vision de l'artiste. Comment un geste en dessin peut-il prolonger le regard? Après avoir plongé en apnée dans plusieurs lacs argileux durant l’été 2025, Andréanne Godin a constitué des nuanciers lui permettant de documenter la grande variété de gammes et de saturations chromatiques perceptibles sous l’eau. À partir des échantillons d’argile sauvage récoltés au fond des lacs, elle a produit la matière première – des pastels secs – servant à créer ses dessins. Dans cette exposition marquant la conclusion de sa résidence de recherche-création à la Fondation, l'artiste approfondit un dialogue entre ses expériences perceptuelles sous-marines et les champs colorés des tableaux de Guido Molinari. Marie-Ève Beaupré *** In the depths of Quebec’s lakes, Andréanne Godin observes sunlight captured by innumerable particles in suspended animation. Alternating between shimmering beams, iridescent glows, and the effects of reverberation, ochres emerge from a palette of oxidized mineral hues, ranging from golden brown to vermilion red. During her dives, an opaque, coloured light fills the artist’s entire field of view. How can a drawing gesture expand this panorama? After free diving during the summer of 2025 in various marshy lakes, Andréanne Godin created colour charts to document the wide variety of chromatic ranges and saturations visible underwater. From samples of wild clay collected on the lakebeds, she produced the raw material — soft pastels — used to produce her drawings. In this exhibition marking the conclusion of her research-creation residency at Fondation Molinari, the artist deepens a dialogue between her immersive perceptual experiences and the colourful fields of Guido Molinari’s paintings. &nbsp;

Myriam Simard Parent (Atelier Clark), Jean-Michel Quirion, Charlotte Solocha, Vicky Sabourin, Diane St-Jacques, Marie-Claude Turmel et Anthony Vrakotas Andréanne Godin prospecte les limites du dessin afin de représenter son ressenti : ses propres expériences dans des environnements qui l’imprègnent et la marquent. À travers son plus récent corpus 48.312403, -78.048948, l’artiste plonge son regard vers un espace liminal ; là où la lumière est immergée. Sous l’eau des lacs de l’Abitibi, la lumière se diffracte, se dilue dans les teintes semi-opaques des particules organiques en suspension jusque dans l’obscurité et la vacuité des profondeurs. À la surface apparaissent en alternance des faisceaux scintillants, des lueurs irisées, des effets de réverbération insaisissables. Dilués, les reflets du soleil semblent absorbés par la noirceur des fonds argileux, sablonneux ou rocheux des lacs. Les perspectives sont balisées de halos en remous. Au fil de la descente, il est difficile de s’orienter sous l’eau. Une corde nouée à tous les mètres guide néanmoins la progression. Lors de ses plongées en apnée, Godin se retrouve avec elle-même ; dans une sorte d’introspection subaquatique. L’effet de cette observation sous-lacustre est comparable à l’instant où l’on ferme les paupières. La démarche d’Andréanne Godin dépasse la documentation photographique. Durant ses explorations, elle capte une palette colorée ineffable. Des ocres émergent parmi une palette de nuances minérales oxydées passant des bruns mordorés, aux rouges vermeils, puis au bordeaux,  jusqu’à frôler le noir d’encre. Les couleurs déferlent sur le corps de l’artiste. C’est ce phénomène optique — cette sorte de décantation entre lumière et eau — qu’elle tente de matérialiser. Elle se submerge pour saisir ce que l’œil ne peut retenir longtemps. Le geste devient le prolongement du regard, mais aussi de la main, car l’acte relève également du prélèvement. À partir de ses descentes, elle ne recueille pas que des impressions lumineuses, elle extrait la matière des lacs : l’argile laissée derrière par le lac glaciaire Ojibway. Ici, dans le contexte de son exposition à la galerie Nicolas Robert, elle a récolté la terre à même le lac abitibien pour transformer la substance en outils de dessin — pastels —, devenant les vecteurs d’un retour à la surface. Plus de trois cents bâtons ont été façonnés en y ajoutant des pigments naturels en poudre. Les bâtonnets enluminés sont déployés dans des boitiers de bois artisanaux, à la façon d’un échantillonnage de couleurs habituellement (im)perceptible. Plusieurs teintes accompagnées de leurs variations y sont ainsi rendues visibles et s’amoncèlent comme autant de couches d’eau. Ces pastels seront utilisés pour la réalisation d’autres projets à venir — suite logique du présent corpus. L’installation décèle les étapes d’un processus évolutif, exposant la production dans son avancement même. Les œuvres-outils supportent l’exécution de leur fabrication. L’instrument ayant servi à l’extraction de l’argile, une tarière manuelle, a été modelé en céramique. Les expériences qui ont amené Godin à vouloir explorer les champs colorés subaquatiques sont aussi présentes dans l’espace d’exposition. Un immense dessin, à notre échelle, montre à voir, sur une cascade de papier, une représentation d’une amie de l’artiste en pleine baignade dans le fleuve Saint-Laurent. Elle est là, éclatante. Elle se révèle en toute délicatesse, à la nage, par le truchement des méticuleux traits successifs, diffus et, de surcroît, affectifs. Le dessin attentionné devient le lieu englouti où la lumière ressurgit, transposé par la main, mais toujours empreint de strates troubles, de cette densité chromatique. Sous l’eau, l’artiste existe. Elle se recentre sur l’essence de l’expérience, de sa présence, de son rapport à l’environnement. Elle nous offre cette immersion dans son travail, dans tout ce qui précède les œuvres, comme une visite à l’atelier dans la profondeur des pensées qui y vagabondent. Les liens formels et matériels sont ainsi rendus visibles. -Jean-Michel Quirion, 2025 ***Andréanne Godin challenges the boundaries of drawing to capture and express her elusive feelings. She focuses on her own experiences in environments that have influenced and marked her life. In her most recent body of work, 48.312403, -78.048948, the artist turns her gaze towards a liminal space where light is submerged. Beneath the waters of Abitibian lakes, light diffracts and is dissolved into the semi-opaque hues, mingling with organic particles suspended in the darkness of the depths. On the surface, sparkling beams, iridescent glows, and elusive reverberations appear in turn. Diluted, the sun's reflections seem to be absorbed by the darkness of the clayey, sandy, or rocky lake beds. The perspectives are marked by swirling halos and as we descend, it becomes difficult to find our bearings underwater. However, a rope tied at every metre leads the way. During her free dives, Godin finds herself alone. She experiences a sort of underwater introspection. This underwater observation echoes the moment when we close our eyes. Andréanne Godin's approach goes beyond simple photographic documentation. During her explorations, she captures ineffable colourful palettes. Ochre hues and oxidized mineral shades emerge and move from golden browns to vermilion reds and then burgundy, till we brush against ink black. The colours wash over the artist's body. It is this optical phenomenon—this decanting between light and water—that she attempts to materialize. She submerges herself to capture what the eye cannot hold onto for long. The gesture becomes an extension of the gaze, but also of the hand. The act is also one of sampling. From her descents, she not only collects luminous impressions, but also extracts material from the lake: the clay left behind by the Ojibway glacial lake. Here, in the context of her exhibition at Nicolas Robert Gallery, she has collected earth from the lake’s bed to transform into drawing tools—pastels—which become the vectors of a return to the surface. More than three hundred pastel sticks have been shaped by adding natural powdered pigments to the clay. The illuminated sticks are displayed in handcrafted wooden boxes, like a sampling of colours that are usually (im)perceptible. Several shades and their variations are thus made visible, piling up like layers of water. These pastels will be used for other future projects—a logical continuation of the present corpus. The installation reveals the stages of an evolving process. It exposes the production as it progresses. The tool-artworks support the act of their own creation. The manual auger used to extract the clay has been hand-built in ceramic. The experiences that led Godin to explore colourful underwater fields are also present in the exhibition space. A huge drawing, on a human scale, shows a cascade of paper depicting a friend of the artist swimming in the Saint-Laurence River. There she is, radiant. She reveals herself delicately, swimming through meticulous successive strokes that are diffuse and sensitive. The thoughtful drawing becomes the submerged place where light re-emerges. The hand transposes it, but the marks remain imbued with murky layers and chromatic density. Underwater, the artist exists. She refocuses on the essence of the experience—her presence and her relationship with the environment. She offers us this immersion in her work, in everything that precedes the artworks. It is like a visit to the studio in the depths of wandering thoughts.

Depuis le genre du paysage qu’elle revisite, la proposition s’éprend aussi de la riche tradition artistique et scientifique qui a fait des couleurs et de leur perception le terreau d’une investigation sans fin. Avec cette installation d’envergure, l’artiste repousse encore davantage les limites du dessin en dehors du support papier pour enclencher une singulière expérience de la nature, pivot d’une subjectivité à la fois désorientée et clairvoyante.Comme la réalité précaire qu’elle constitue, la forêt, fragmentée en silhouettes, se matérialise et s’évanouit dans une ambiance nocturne qui confond les souvenirs d’enfance, les remous du cœur et la conscience avivée de notre ancrage sensible au monde. Commissaire : Marie-Ève Charron Marie-Ève Charron est critique d’art pour le quotidien Le Devoir et commissaire indépendante. En duo avec sa jumelle Isabelle, elle a été en 2018 commissaire de la 6e édition de Orange, l’événement d’art actuel de Saint-Hyacinthe. Elle a fait paraître en 2019, avec Thérèse St-Gelais, les ouvrages collectifs Archi-féministes! (Optica) et Le désordre des choses, L’art et l’épreuve du politique (Les éditions esse), ainsi qu’une monographie sur le travail de Kim Waldron (Galerie Thomas Henry Ross art contemporain). Elle enseigne l’histoire de l’art au Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe et au Département d’histoire de l’art de l’UQAM, comme chargée de cours. L’artiste aimerait remercier le Conseil des arts du Canada pour son soutien ainsi que Marie-Ève Charron, Mitch Mitchell, jake moore, Ghislain Brodeur et Karine Gauthier, conceptrice lumière, pour leur soutien technique et moral. <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/360a709b3c2c1cc415400f3faf71b743cead99467ae624aaae5d2b2f150660b2/Vue_EndroitOuTuExistesEncore.jpg" data-mid="146981058" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/360a709b3c2c1cc415400f3faf71b743cead99467ae624aaae5d2b2f150660b2/Vue_EndroitOuTuExistesEncore.jpg" /> <img width="1333" height="2000" width_o="1333" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff5d9402ca13ac3c136accaee332949b046902499f33b8fc8deee0aec44709d5/EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_bleu.jpg" data-mid="146981054" border="0" data-scale="31" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff5d9402ca13ac3c136accaee332949b046902499f33b8fc8deee0aec44709d5/EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_bleu.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="1333" height="2000" width_o="1333" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f54b2cd17985914d9c0c3c5ee1a81dd8eecbdee43b4ccfa2c0ab33281add9a26/EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_fushia.jpg" data-mid="146981055" border="0" data-scale="31" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f54b2cd17985914d9c0c3c5ee1a81dd8eecbdee43b4ccfa2c0ab33281add9a26/EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_fushia.jpg" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img width="1333" height="2000" width_o="1333" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/255b686b5a21a893be4c70fd9bd3d1abac70c1f14dcd1e55feb957f3341ee342/EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_rouge.jpg" data-mid="146981056" border="0" data-scale="31" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/255b686b5a21a893be4c70fd9bd3d1abac70c1f14dcd1e55feb957f3341ee342/EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_rouge.jpg" />&nbsp; <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/72359caaa00fe37862bd0068e896025945f995d749d91db8a134ffb81dc2e061/Vue_Vue_EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_branches.jpg" data-mid="146981059" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/72359caaa00fe37862bd0068e896025945f995d749d91db8a134ffb81dc2e061/Vue_Vue_EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_branches.jpg" /><img width="1333" height="2000" width_o="1333" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0706bcbc12009ff8b5f0f539d540a718bce7caa6da51fda3205967a8870226b7/Vue_EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_branchebleue.jpg" data-mid="146981057" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0706bcbc12009ff8b5f0f539d540a718bce7caa6da51fda3205967a8870226b7/Vue_EndroitOuTuExistesEncore_branchebleue.jpg" /><img width="2362" height="2361" width_o="2362" height_o="2361" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44703d91df32d3cf9437688e5d8a9bdd282fc3eae4cb2f89d206ee376004ce1b/carre_4ever.jpg" data-mid="146981053" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44703d91df32d3cf9437688e5d8a9bdd282fc3eae4cb2f89d206ee376004ce1b/carre_4ever.jpg" /> https://andreannegodin.com/Rencontres-Numineuses-Numinous-Encounters Wed, 27 Mar 2024 14:26:50 +0000 Andreanne Godin https://andreannegodin.com/Rencontres-Numineuses-Numinous-Encounters Rencontres numineuses Numinous Encounters Présenté à | Presented at | Galerie Nicolas Robert9 septembre au 14 octobre 2023 L’exposition regroupe une quinzaine de dessins grands formats, dont les représentations dépeintes nous invitent dans un univers duquel un récit plus ou moins précis surgit. Nos sens sont mis à l’épreuve, alors que le visuel et sa narration cherchent à devenir autres. S’y révèle une mystérieuse présence qui semble troubler chacune des images. Le rendu parfois presque photographique des œuvres, oscillant entre réalisme et flou, laisse à ce qui est regardé, un aspect insondable. This body of work includes fifteen drawings, whose representations invite us into a universe from which a more or less precise narrative emerges. Our senses are put to the test, as the visual and its narrative seek to become other. A mysterious presence is revealed and seems to trouble each image. The sometimes almost photographic rendering of the works, oscillating between realism and blur, leaves what is looked at with an unfathomable aspect. <img width="1500" height="2061" width_o="1500" height_o="2061" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7d27bb79a51771a746c7a0e5d511d3d027bea5c1bae5d629212212521f47238e/12_petit.jpg" data-mid="207717821" border="0" data-scale="73" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7d27bb79a51771a746c7a0e5d511d3d027bea5c1bae5d629212212521f47238e/12_petit.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2001" width_o="3000" height_o="2001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/936644d903ef2fe6016e873b9db29f958cd10796d164db5f4c7ce1f0eb223f2f/NicolasRobertSeptembre2023-3-of-23.jpg" data-mid="207718368" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/936644d903ef2fe6016e873b9db29f958cd10796d164db5f4c7ce1f0eb223f2f/NicolasRobertSeptembre2023-3-of-23.jpg" /><img width="2001" height="3000" width_o="2001" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3c3bc03d1b14582b469afaabbc8884cb3856825c5bb39e8fd919f1de522c5e1/NicolasRobertSeptembre2023-14-of-23.jpg" data-mid="207718407" border="0" data-scale="66" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3c3bc03d1b14582b469afaabbc8884cb3856825c5bb39e8fd919f1de522c5e1/NicolasRobertSeptembre2023-14-of-23.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2001" width_o="3000" height_o="2001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4007f24843732e6936ab8a0d043869b2545a28cb1031055feacbc25c1a537511/NicolasRobertSeptembre2023-5-of-23.jpg" data-mid="207718396" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4007f24843732e6936ab8a0d043869b2545a28cb1031055feacbc25c1a537511/NicolasRobertSeptembre2023-5-of-23.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="2205" width_o="1500" height_o="2205" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8afe140171dac121000691402f2a35699b41204d7a4eb8d493a690c8f2ce6a8a/5_petit.jpg" data-mid="207719366" border="0" data-scale="68" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8afe140171dac121000691402f2a35699b41204d7a4eb8d493a690c8f2ce6a8a/5_petit.jpg" />&nbsp;

De refuge convoité par les gens de la ville en mal d’air, elle est le sujet de reportages la découvrant de par le monde ou célébrant l’essence de ses arbres(1). Nommer autrement cette ressource qui se fait exploiter, puis tant bien que mal protéger, s’impose désormais. Pour d’autres, de traditions non-occidentales, qui en font leur milieu de vie, les forêts sont dotées d’une capacité de penser(2). Dans les souvenirs d’enfance d’Andréanne Godin, la forêt se meut en espace psychique que sa pratique artistique revisite sensiblement; la présente exposition en est l’expression aboutie offerte en partage. Sur mesure déployée pour deux des salles d’AXENÉO7, l’installation propose une déambulation nocturne dans une forêt composite, née de fragments glanés par l’artiste en résidence dans le Vermont et en Finlande puis dans son Abitibi natal. La vie comme la mort rôdent dans ce paysage inventé dont l’expérience concrète s’évapore dans un continuum d’impressions suggérées par les pigments de majestueux dessins, en bleu de Prusse et en brun Van Dyke. Alors que des lumières rehaussent subtilement les nuances chromatiques, chacun des pas se fait l’écho d’une quête existentielle aux repères (in)discernables. — Marie-Ève Charron, commissaire Notes :1. « Essences d’arbre » et « Forêts intérieures » sont des séries de reportages, publiées par le quotidien montréalais Le Devoir au cours de l’été 2020, mettant la forêt à l’honneur.2. Eduardo Kohn, Comment pensent les forêts. Vers une anthropologie au-delà de l’humain, Bruxelles, Zones sensibles, 2017. ***The forest has never been as popular a subject it is now. A sought-after refuge of air-starved city-dwellers, it is the focus of reports lauding its existence around the world or celebrating the essence of its trees(1). This resource, caught in a cycle of exploitation and protection, now warrants being talked about in a different way. In fact, Non-Westerners who call these forests home believe that they have the capacity to think(2). In Andréanne Godin's childhood memories, the forest becomes a psychic space that her artistic practice frequently revisits. This exhibition is the ultimate expression of this, one that is offered up for the sharing. Created specially to occupy two rooms at AXENÉO7, the installation invites visitors to a night stroll through a composite forest made of fragments gleaned by the artist-in-residence in Vermont and Finland, and in her native Abitibi. Both life and death lurk in this invented landscape whose concrete experience fades into a continuum of impressions suggested by the Prussian blue and Van Dyke brown pigments of majestic drawings. While the chromatic nuances are subtly enhanced by lighting, each step reflects an existential quest with (in)discernible landmarks. — Marie-Ève Charron, curator Notes :1. "Essences d'arbre" and "Forêts intérieures" are a series of features highlighting forests published by the Le Devoir Montreal's newspaper in summer 2020.2. Eduardo Kohn, How Forests Think.

Séminario &amp; Andréanne Godin Je me souviens, la surprise déferla sur mon corps entier, le changement soudain, le murmure du vent du nord, léger et pesant tout à la fois. Le croassement des corneilles m’a à nouveau réveillé ce matin. Je reste couchée, immobile, mes yeux grands ouverts suivent le mouvement des ombres projetées sur les rideaux tirés. Réconcilier ton absence m’était impossible… ou devrais-je dire ta présence? J’ai tenté de te retenir, j’ai tenté d’imiter chacun de tes gestes, j’ai tenté de m’allonger près de toi, sur toi, en toi. J’ai essayé de réparer tout ce qui était cassé, mais je suis tout ce qui reste. *** I remember the surprise flooding my whole body, the sudden shift, the chilling murmur of the wind both light and heavy on my skin. Crows cawing at my window woke me again this morning. I laid still in bed, my eyes wide open, only to see the moving shadows casted onto the drawn curtains. I swear, I could not reconcile the presence of you… neither your absence might I say. I tried to hold you up, I tried to mimic each of your movements, I tried to lay with you, on you, in you. I tried to fix all that was broken but I am all that is left. https://andreannegodin.com/On-Our-Way-To-The-Border Sun, 01 Apr 2018 18:34:24 +0000 Andreanne Godin https://andreannegodin.com/On-Our-Way-To-The-Border VOLTA NYC, March 2018 presented by Galerie Nicolas Robert Vues du kiosque Views of the booth <img width="1024" height="683" width_o="1024" height_o="683" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ba248db0583526be9e90a3ee046d07778f386ddd3e1f136ed5e6aa9addca6a6a/Voltabooth_05.jpg" data-mid="146858027" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ba248db0583526be9e90a3ee046d07778f386ddd3e1f136ed5e6aa9addca6a6a/Voltabooth_05.jpg" /> <img width="1024" height="740" width_o="1024" height_o="740" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c9c827efe47d30fdecb3c8aea55a5e80d7a0f1868f25554b2d98bf022c85aebf/Voltabooth_02.jpg" data-mid="146858026" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c9c827efe47d30fdecb3c8aea55a5e80d7a0f1868f25554b2d98bf022c85aebf/Voltabooth_02.jpg" /> <img width="1024" height="717" width_o="1024" height_o="717" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/25455f75605aafdde4963d52f4200f292fad60a93a4835fb4ffc46ce76f375a4/Voltabooth_06.jpg" data-mid="146858029" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/25455f75605aafdde4963d52f4200f292fad60a93a4835fb4ffc46ce76f375a4/Voltabooth_06.jpg" /> Through Your Eyes I, 2017 Dry pigments on paper, wood, painted iron 46 x 51 x 16" | 118 x 130 x 40cm <img width="515" height="768" width_o="515" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e95ec6c3b342d21ad1e66c3e47a9412540e8162724d6fcf5ddc2873035fc263b/ThroughYourEyesI.jpg" data-mid="146858041" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/515/i/e95ec6c3b342d21ad1e66c3e47a9412540e8162724d6fcf5ddc2873035fc263b/ThroughYourEyesI.jpg" /> Through Your Eyes II, 2018 Dry pigments on paper, wood 54 x 45 x 8" | 137 x 114 x 20cm <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a31e97322604ec7822bcbbed13d3716c29b56c1bca26bc6cc2c8ed4ad7154fb5/ThroughYourEyes.jpg" data-mid="146858025" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a31e97322604ec7822bcbbed13d3716c29b56c1bca26bc6cc2c8ed4ad7154fb5/ThroughYourEyes.jpg" /> Through Your Eyes is an anthem to my mother. I have never stopped to be intrigued by her sight of the world. Now 33 years old, I still ask her to describe the way she sees without her glasses. A blurry and spatial world she has access to… a brush of colours with undefined edges and shifting depths as she moves around. Always keen to know so that I could understand, imagine, project myself in this space with new intriguing laws of perception.

physical, administrative or psychological, borders can often seem insurmountable. The road leading to the transcendence of this obstacle is scattered with moments, impressions, places and landscapes which work as landmarks, portals both keeping us prisoner of the feelings contained in a passed memory, but which also holds the power to propel us passed these times of turmoil. For On Our Way To The Border, I allowed myself to look back at these moments which felt like corner stones of the four-year-long journey that my partner and I shared towards his Canadian permanent residency status. photo crédit photo: Andreanne Godin &amp; Trigonix https://andreannegodin.com/If-Only-You-Had-Sent-Flowers Wed, 07 Mar 2018 16:13:32 +0000 Andreanne Godin https://andreannegodin.com/If-Only-You-Had-Sent-Flowers If Only You Had Sent Flowers, 2017 Dry pigments on Arches paper (Indian Yellow and graphite powder), recycled paper, 183 x 38 x 38cm Dans le cadre de l'Atelier résidence du Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Québec à Bâle <img width="800" height="541" width_o="800" height_o="541" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e970c4c3bb77898735eb60386a2515587add26284227aaefae686fe1055c38f5/IfOnlyYouHadSentFlowers.jpg" data-mid="146858042" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/e970c4c3bb77898735eb60386a2515587add26284227aaefae686fe1055c38f5/IfOnlyYouHadSentFlowers.jpg" /><img width="800" height="533" width_o="800" height_o="533" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef373a9eba6568abf4614fa431fe2cdf0c434dd4eee01f5863ce58310f8a7e8e/IfOnlyYouHadSentFlowersIII.jpg" data-mid="146858044" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/ef373a9eba6568abf4614fa431fe2cdf0c434dd4eee01f5863ce58310f8a7e8e/IfOnlyYouHadSentFlowersIII.jpg" /><img width="800" height="624" width_o="800" height_o="624" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/16d64859f1739df2caa2057292ae893ecff0ce4143b9c37389a71521186825b9/IfOnlyYouHadSentFlowersII.jpg" data-mid="146858043" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/16d64859f1739df2caa2057292ae893ecff0ce4143b9c37389a71521186825b9/IfOnlyYouHadSentFlowersII.jpg" /> Over the course of a residency at the Atelier Mondial in Basel, Switzerland, I developed an obsession for second hand stores... I became interested in sand roses for their beauty as well as the fascinating conditions of their formation. Out of the most arid evaporation processes the crystals construct intricate architectures. If Only You Had Sent Flowers references to a love that emerged from the most difficult circonstances and the paper cones in which florists usually wrap roses into. https://andreannegodin.com/To-Be-Afraid-of-the-Invisible Wed, 07 Mar 2018 16:16:24 +0000 Andreanne Godin https://andreannegodin.com/To-Be-Afraid-of-the-Invisible To Be Afraid of the Invisible, 2017 Powder graphite on Arches paper, wall mounted metal newspaper display rack installation of variable dimensions Single drawing size: 244 x 38cm Dans le cadre de l'Atelier résidence du Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec à Bâle <img width="800" height="534" width_o="800" height_o="534" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d8ff9e5867522dd9676a60ae732dac3b340c9302722050224610bb4b76e3498/01_ToBeAfraidOfTheInvisible.jpg" data-mid="146858045" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/2d8ff9e5867522dd9676a60ae732dac3b340c9302722050224610bb4b76e3498/01_ToBeAfraidOfTheInvisible.jpg" /><img width="800" height="534" width_o="800" height_o="534" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76a8d77319d26615238db8b58ad16c91ad44f2c156f5dc2c27e6828c0408bae0/02_ToBeAfraidOfTheInvisible.jpg" data-mid="146858046" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/76a8d77319d26615238db8b58ad16c91ad44f2c156f5dc2c27e6828c0408bae0/02_ToBeAfraidOfTheInvisible.jpg" /><img width="800" height="534" width_o="800" height_o="534" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b69af6366d8c58308b5a0cca9d0abcb36709891254b95fe11ca819d50432f49/03_ToBeAfraidOfTheInvisible.jpg" data-mid="146858047" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/4b69af6366d8c58308b5a0cca9d0abcb36709891254b95fe11ca819d50432f49/03_ToBeAfraidOfTheInvisible.jpg" /><img width="800" height="546" width_o="800" height_o="546" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a0e917ca0395a641130f81905927d15e2b2441020271cc779f36dbd814c6be0/04_ToBeAfraidOfTheInvisible.jpg" data-mid="146858048" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/5a0e917ca0395a641130f81905927d15e2b2441020271cc779f36dbd814c6be0/04_ToBeAfraidOfTheInvisible.jpg" /> A month after my arrival at the Atelier Mondial in Basel, Switzerland, a chemical attack took place on the town of Khan Shaykhun, Syria. The bomb and its content injured hundreds and killed 74 people. Far away from home, but from a place of safety in my Basel studio, I started to try to make sense of what happened based on the information that I could access in the news. To Be Afraid of the Invisible is an attempt to reflect on this insidious event and on the repercussion that it had. This experience somehow highlighted my fear of the invisible threat under which millions of people live every day. Using graphite powder to deconstruct the few images of the explosion accessible online is both a reflection on my own armful drawing materials and the fear of their insidious consequences on my health. No amount of drawings or images will ever bring justice or consolation to this population, but each gesture has the power to revive memories while allowing us to never forget.

I would walk to the pond to enjoy a short swim. Allowing me to refresh, unwind and relax my upper body’s muscles from the hours hunching over the long and wide studio table; rubbing pigments, forcing them into the surface of the paper. Diving in, I would experience light and its absence, diffraction, perspective, distortion, as well as the growing under and above water flora of the pond. This made me start to think of water as a sort of trinity of surface, space and body. Taking the canoe for short trips since the beginning of my stay, I would paddle to the other side of an island, which separated the waters in two large spaces. By midsummer the far side of the pond was overgrown by water lilies and became almost impracticable. As the boat was propelled on the surface of the water, hundreds of organic obstacles would contribute to stop its course as soon as I ceased paddling. As I was forcing my way through, the lily pads sank for some time and I started to see the empty space left by the wake of the canoe. These lines were similar to the marks of a pencil on the surface of a paper. Describing arcs and tracing pathways into this ephemeral canvas I soon found myself out of strength to paddle back to the shore: waiting for my energy to rejuvenate, the oval shapes slowly resurfaced to take their place back under the sun. The Paths of Resistance was born of a recollection of experiences from the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation’s pond as well as the Lac Bayeul and of an unnamed lake sans nom both close to my hometown of Val-d’Or, Québec. *** L’étang À tous les jours pendant ces deux mois, je me rendais à l’étang pour profiter d’une courte baignade. Pour m’y rafraîchir, m’y détendre et relaxer mes muscles tendus après des heures de travail, penchée sur la longue et large table du studio : frottant les pigments, les forçant contre la surface du papier. En plongeant, je ressentais la lumière et son absence, la diffraction, la perspective, la distorsion et voyais la flore croissante émergeant lentement des fonds de l’étang. Cette expérience commença à me faire penser à l’eau telle une sorte de trinité : surface, corps et spatialité. Depuis le début de mon séjour j’avais commencé à prendre le canot pour pagayer de l’autre côté de l’île qui séparait l’étang en deux. Envahi par les nénuphars dès la mi-juillet, le côté le plus éloigné de l’étang devint presqu’entièrement impraticable. Les mille et une feuilles contribuaient à freiner l’embarcation dès que j’arrêtais de pagayer. Les nénuphars submergés par le passage du canot laissaient un espace vide derrière-moi. Ces lignes, semblables aux marques d’un crayon sur la surface du papier décrivaient des arcs et des traces dans cette toile éphémère. Vite à bout de souffle, je m’arrêtai un moment. Pendant ce temps, les feuilles de nénuphar refirent progressivement surface : reprenant leur place sous le soleil. Les chemins de résistance est issu de souvenirs de mon expérience à l’étang de la Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, ainsi que du Lac Bayeul et d’un lac sans nom, tous les deux situés près de Vald-d’Or, Québec.
