The Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop’s University would like to announce its next exhibition, Les yeux dans l’eau, on view from January 21 to March 16, 2022.

Les yeux dans l’eau looks at human and non-human relationships formed in proximity with water while tapping into a collective fascination with water’s vast connective and mnemonic capacities. Taking place at the Foreman Art Gallery and Sporobole Art Center, both located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Abenaki people at the crossings of the St-Francis, Magog, and Massawippi River, this project contemplates the connections created by and with water. The selected works by Kelly Jaclynn Andres, Maude Deslauriers, Gaëlle Elma, Tania Love, Ludovic Boney & Caroline Monnet demonstrate that water in urbanized spaces is part of a complex arena of interconnected ripples. As water gathers tales of the human experience, it traverses ecosystems, seeps and floods our homes, displaces masses, connects land, flora and fauna, cradles souls and nourishes bodies. Continually folding time and space, water remembers and pulls knowledge for generations to come.

Following the tightening of sanitary measures, the opening reception is postponed to a later date.
