About the performance
Presented for the first time at the McBride Contemporain gallery in Montreal as part of the 2023 Nuit Blanche, Parties composantes is a performance consisting of a series of visual and sound actions highlighting DRAC’s acoustic and architectural specificities.
Using a variety of pencils, as well as a microphone and amplifier, Mathieu Lacroix focuses on drawing and its performative dimension. With each stroke left on a sheet of paper or on a DRAC surface, the sound of the pencils is amplified in space, echoing the creative gesture. The result is a formal (de)construction of the act of drawing, both literally and figuratively.
As the artist wanders through the space following a precise itinerary, visitors are invited to follow and contemplate him at work, whether in the hall of the Maison des arts, in the current exhibition at DRAC, in the windows or on the walls of the centre. With Parties composantes, drawing becomes a meaningful and magnified gesture.
Access to our performances is always free and open to all. We look forward to welcoming you!
The performance will be presented at DRAC on Thursday, June, 6, 2024 at 6:30 p.m.
