Mercer Union is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition Hapax Legomena curated by Elodie Royer <\/strong>and Yoann Gourmel<\/strong> and featuring artworks by Isabelle Cornaro, Julien Cr\u00e9pieux, Aur\u00e9lien Froment, Mark Geffriaud, Cyrille Maillot, Beno\u00eet Maire, Beno\u00eet-Marie Moriceau, Bruno Persat, Chlo\u00e9 Quenum <\/strong>and Rapha\u00ebl Zarka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hapax Legomena<\/strong> gathers the work of ten French artists<\/strong> of the same generation together for the first time in Canada. The exhibition draws its starting point from the process and narrative proposed by the artist and theoretician Hollis Frampton in his most celebrated film Hapax Legomena 1: (nostalgia). In the film, Frampton proposes a re-reading of his own work within an analytical framework that mixes reminiscences, scripted narration and iconographic exercises. Similarly, this exhibition will be inscribed within the continuity of a theoretical and practical discussion initiated in 2006 amongst the curators and a constellation of artist peers. Their collaborations to date have taken the form of exhibitions, publications, conferences and performances. This exhibition will gather fragments of these past collaborations, traces and souvenirs of past exhibitions along with new productions. Hapax Legomena \u2014 designating a thing occurring only once \u2014 will trace the index of this continued collaboration, balancing between past history and future possibilities.<\/p>\n

The exhibition Hapax Legomena is generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts Visiting Foreign Artists Program, the Consulat G\u00e9n\u00e9ral de France \u00e0 Toronto, and the Institut Fran\u00e7ais. Mercer Union also acknowledges the support of its staff, volunteers, members, and donors, and the Canada Council for the Arts, the Government of Ontario through the Ontario Arts Council and the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council for support of our annual operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
