“Samedi soir, j’ai eu la chance d’assister à une représentation de la nouvelle création de Brigitte Poupart intitulée Jusqu’à ce qu’on meure à l’Arsenal Art Contemporain. Dans cette excellente pièce, le « quatrième mur » s’efface, la séparation spatiale entre le public et les interprètes disparaît, et tous deux occupent l’espace qui aurait traditionnellement été appelé « scène ».“

Review: Suzy Lake
Canadian Art, by Tausif Noor
Mar 9, 2020
“The first truth is the form,” instructs a deadpan, disembodied male voice in Suzy Lake’s 1975 video The Natural Way to Draw, in which the artist, caked in a layer of white paint, shades lines and contours across her face, pausing briefly to take puffs of her cigarette.
