Photo Sculpture

Photography, sculpture. Why bring these two means of expression together to confront each other? A look at the contemporary art scene reveals the particularly notable presence of practices that combine photography and sculpture. But what relationship can these two media forge? Can photography work (in) sculpture? It was in the context of this reflection that we hosted six Québec artists who explore these relationships in their work. Following the experience of Histoires de bois, the first event organized by Les Studios d’été in 1998, Photo Sculpture retained the same structure, based on holding a two-month workshop that took place from July 2 to August 25, 1990, at the l’École-atelier de sculpture de Saint-Jean-Port-Joli.
