How do artists respond to current events? The exhibition SALLE-DE-M\u00c9LANGEMENTS, on view at the Grand Atelier in Montreal from June 17 to August 6, 2026, seeks to answer this question.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SALLE-DE-M\u00c9LANGEMENTS brings together works by the distinctive Montreal artist Luc Gu\u00e9rard and Ga\u00ebtane Lupien, an artist affiliated with Les Impatients.<\/p>\n

Joining this dialogue and adding their own unique perspectives are artists who have participated or are currently participating in Les Impatients\u2019 workshops: Antonio Mazza, Aryan Arian, Daniel C\u00f4t\u00e9 L\u2019Esp\u00e9rance, David Forest, Diego Morales, Dinh Duong Nguyen, F\u00e9lix Lavigne, Fran\u00e7ois Ducas, Mikan, Lise Leprohon, Louise Cottnon, Lucie Desmarais, Mohamed Omar Rjama, R\u00e9jean Chatillon, Ren\u00e9e Bernard, Roger Beaudoin, Ronald Bri\u00e8re, Yvan Houle, as well as a few works from a private collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cSensitive and spontaneous, the artists in this exhibition project onto canvas or paper the emotions stirred by watching or reading the news. These artists highlight the turmoil affecting our societies\u2014inequality, authoritarian excesses, racism, hatred, and conflict\u2014or, at times, their own personal turmoil. In their work\u2014which is often marked by a quest for well-being or beauty\u2014these creative dislocations underscore the painful effects of heightened awareness and the defiant determination to engage with the \u2018world\u2019 as a whole. Their actions stand out as the expression of powerful emotions that they had to convey to us\u2014surely to free themselves from them\u2014if not to communicate.\u201d Eric Mattson, exhibition curator<\/p>\n

The works that make up SALLE-DE-M\u00c9LANGEMENTS serve as testimonies and reflections of various states of mind: fear, anger, stress, but also wisdom and kindness. Every visitor to this exhibition is invited to examine their own emotions in the face of a world losing its humanity.<\/p>\n

Speeches, interviews, and micro-concerts by workshops participants will form an audio response to the exhibition.<\/p>\n

*The title of this exhibition is inspired by the titles of two works by artist Antonio Mazza (1964\u20132023): *Salle-de-m\u00e9lang\u00e9m\u00e9nt* and *Salle-des-m\u00e9lang\u00e9m\u00e9nts*.<\/p>\n
