Jocelyne Alloucherie : Paysages généraux

In six elegant works, Montréal artist Jocelyne Alloucherie combines large, densely grained black and white photographs with wood and glass structures that act variously as framing devices, literal supports, and elements suggesting viewlines. Alluding not so much to the real environment as to the internalized and aestheticized idea of "landscape", the images are at once familiar and strange: the hint of a tree-lined avenue, groomed hedges, a silhouetted escarpment. A shifting reality is constructed in which, according to the exhibition's curator Marie Perrault, "everything becomes a question of point of view." Organized the Musée régionale de Rimouski, the exhibition has received funding from the Exhibitions Assistance Program of the Canada Council.
