“The Creator of the Invisible”
You won’t believe your eyes!! A North American first, Jorge Iglesias, Nobel prize nominated artist will showcase his famous “INVISIBLE SCULPTURES” as well as “PAINTINGS WITH MOVEMENT”, throughout the evening.

“The Hypothetical Inside”
A video installation about self and subjectivity, by Chloé Desjardins, will be exhibited as well. She describes her work to be divided in two fields of interest: a fascination for images, still and in movement, as well as an attachment to materiality.

“Veggies”
Gabriela Ana Lim’s work is said to be multidisciplinary. Her sculptural installation will be displayed as an inside view into the artist’s mind about the perception of everyday vegetables seen through x-ray or macro picture like light boxes.

“Ximenoides”
Through a light box installation, Claudia Espinosa is able to convey the sensation of oneness by assembling imaginary beings with different bodies.

“One” from the series The Leap
Montreal based artist, member of the collective RUSH, Valerie Sangin, is one to portray her photographs subjects in a constant redefinition of their identity, their body.
