S. Santini Belleau

New sign, new show! Save the date and join us on evening of Thursday, March 26th for the opening of Mediaeval, Simon S. Belleau’s first exhibition at our Saint-Laurent location. The show brings together an entirely new body of work that investigates the structures governing our current media condition and its effects on understanding and collective attention. @simonsbelleau

Met him pike hoses @julianvandermoere and a great book sharing one word in two languages

Meta officially began blocking news content on Facebook and Instagram for users in Canada on August 1, 2023, in response to the Canadian government’s Online News Act (Bill C-18), which requires major tech platforms to compensate news organizations for content shared on their services. Here’s a preview of the headlines from The Globe and Mail that will be displayed at @elikerrhq tomorrow, from 11 to 6 pm Please note that, exceptionally, the exhibition will also be open next Sunday for its final day. Stay sharp. X *rendu possible grâce à @ethermata

Some close-ups of the works on view at the gallery @elikerrhq […] these are not singular images, but composites. The photographs seem to have been printed, folded, scanned, and reprinted in succession. They read less as images than as documents. / … il ne s’agit pas d’images uniques, mais de collages. Les photographies semblent avoir été imprimées, pliées, numérisées, puis réimprimées à répétition. Elles se lisent moins comme des images que comme des documents.

@elikerrhq - Walking back to the street, on the left wall stands the largest piece of the exhibition. This large sculptural fragment is the rooftop of the disassembled newsstand, turned on its side and mounted on the wall. Once a place for sharing and gathering around printed information -un pôle d’attraction- the newsstand gradually transformed into a generic concession, selling cigarettes, trinkets, and tourist souvenirs. This shift, both mundane and symbolic, reflects the movement from a public space of communication to a space of consumption, as well as the way access to media has increasingly left the streets and entered our homes.

[…] Embedded within the piece (left) is a small video monitor displaying a sequence of words. These are programmed to update each morning, drawn from the previous day’s top headlines. By the following day, a new sequence appears, as the news continuously shifts. These words are drawn exclusively from The Globe and Mail, one of Canada’s leading national newspapers, and will continue to do so indefinitely. Only when the newspaper ceases publication will the sequence come to a halt, its final headlines looping endlessly. @globeandmail Yesterday’s headlines, on view today at the gallery, are: —A moment Pierre Poilievre didn’t want to meet —Buoyed by majority, Carney predicts more ‘substance’ from MPs, unveils temporary gas tax break —Finance Minister will release spring economic update on April 28 Show closes in 31 days @elikerrhq Left: Substrat (The Globe and Mail), 2026.
