Reviews: Jocelyne Alloucherie at Galeries Roger Bellemare et Christian Lambert | Frances Adair Mckenzie at Fonderie Darling
Jocelyne Alloucherie’s Quelques ciels at Galeries Roger Bellemare et Christian Lambert The works by Jocelyne Alloucherie on display at Galeries Roger Bellemare et Christian Lambert are split between a series of photo/drawing collages and a video. In one room there are diptychs and triptychs. They feature photos of clouds and drawings of them, layered to give a sense of depth and dynamism. These, the accompanying text informs us, are preliminary models for a public work to be shown at Viau metro. In the other room is a video featuring historic gardens. Sparse figures drift through the frame under mostly empty skies. Like the photos, these have been made over time and spliced together with a soundtrack. The video is supposed to be shown simultaneously with another that shares the same soundtrack, projected blind, in a structure suggesting a Greek amphitheatre. There is even a small scale model of this on display. These works are fragments of a larger body of work that falls under
