Lyne Lapointe : La tache aveugle

Catalogue from an exhibition of Lapointe’s pictoral works incoprorating drawing, collage and painting, from 1996 to 2002. Godmer identifies four themes in this body of work (Mariotte’s blindspot, parlour games, the constellation, the target) and stresses the singularity and diversity of materials and iconography used by the artist. Baker studies the use of the animal in these works, and refers to Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts of “becoming-animal” and “involution.” Ross examines how the artist “cultures” rather than attempts to correct distortion, thereby raising the question of “how to see.” Texts in French and English. Bio-bibliography of the artists (6 p.) and biographical notes on the authors. Circa 50 bibl. ref
