| L'ART EST UN JEU Medium-length documentary film, 58 minutes, 1990 Its as if one were present at the birth of a new live-action school juxtaposing humour, deftness of camera movement and reference to the television screen. Here the honest conventionality of art films has made way for an approach to present-day art based on live testimonies, the stuff of future archives. A film which draws on the desire for longevity and elusive immortality
well polished film aimed at showing us the new sculpture of Quebec. If the choice of the six artists who represent new sculpture is relevant, Soucy is the one whose ideas and works are the most astonishing, disconcerting and refreshing.
Bruno CARRIERE observes the work of Saulnier, Sauvé, Gougeon, Jolly, Labrie, Soucy, and dwells on the esthetic and social concerns of each. The notion of art as a cult object comes off badly. And that`s how it should be. Born of vital urges, it is the expression of a temperament or a vision of the world which is sometimes born of derision. |
