"Between Observation and Intervention"
- THE PAINTED PHOTOGRAPHS OF MELVIN CHARNEY -
"Artist/architect Melvin Charney has focused his eye upon the city. The art resulting from his careful study includes photographs, sculpture, installations, monuments, and urban plans; among the most arresting works are his painted photographs in which bold images in pastel and paint are overlaid on printed mass media images." These large-scale layered works, which challenge our understanding of cities and their components, will be the focus of the exhibition at Americas Society.
Guest Curator: Gwendolyn Owens.

"ABANDON"
An Exhibition of photography by Mark Coatsworth.
The Exhibition is a four part, photographic documentary series about our world after
ecological collapse. From the decline of Canada's Atlantic fisheries, to the resource
rush in the far North, to the great floods of New Orleans, ABANDON examines
modern societies who ignored the early warnings, and so brought about their own
destruction. These series are microcosms of what is happening to our planet on
a global scale. This is the story of the things left behind.

« Sommes-nous? »
An Exhibition of photography by Tendance Floue with the photographe Philippe Lopparelli.
Our personal and political concerns have focused our attention on Paris, Bombay, Buenos
Aires, Los Angeles, the North Pole and elsewhere. Current events are evoked blending
impressions with History. Faces, unusual encounters, urban landscapes, desolate stretches.
Humanity comes face to face with the anxious universe we have created and which we wish to
endow with meaning. We collide with nature and its contrasting greatness. Different worlds
meet – solemnly or mockingly. Contrasts arise and the question “Are we?” remains unanswered.
- Tendance floue -
À Paris, Bombay, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, au Pôle Nord et ailleurs, nos regards se sont
posés, entre préoccupations intimes et politiques. Des faits d’actualité sont évoqués, où les
impressions se mêlent à l’Histoire. Des visages, des rencontres insolites, des paysages
urbains, des étendues désolées. L’homme est confronté à l’univers inquiet qu’il a créé, et auquel
il cherche à donner un sens. Il se heurte à la nature, qui lui oppose sa grandeur. Différents
mondes se rencontrent, avec gravité ou dérision. Des contrastes s’opèrent.
Et la question « Sommes-nous ? » reste en suspens.
- Tendance floue -
In collaboration with The French Consulate in Toronto.
Avec le soutien du Consulat général de France à Toronto.
