Hello and welcome, bonjour et bienvenue, to the Galerie Division blog.
This is my first post, and I’d like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who helped to make our first show, Prismatic Spray, a success. This post is just for starters: the idea for this blog is to showcase the artistic mandate and intellectual stance Division Gallery proposes to have; a flexible, exploratory and challenging program combined with the strong conviction that Montreal is a great art town, and that everything possible to advance it contributes to something positive and vital. No one show at Division Gallery will be able to represent the whole of our position; rather, each exhibition is intended to function as a complex, examined, and finished thought, well expressed, and bounded on each side with other and different statements.
A word about blogging in English and French. My French writing is in the process of improving, and I intend to try writing in French at some point, once I’m able to; another possibility to be explored is to translate into French what’s first written in English, and that will be attempted too. In the meantime, for those who prefer to read in French, please accept my apology, and be assured that at the gallery itself, we are all able to speak French and are more than happy to do so.
That’s it for now: more to come very soon. Once again, thank you to everyone. We’re extremely happy with the reception we’ve been getting so far. The future of contemporary art in Montreal looks bright from where we’re standing, and we intend to be a part of that future; so stay tuned, and you’ll hear from us soon.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Klein
Director
