Voices: Artists on Art Presents Ginette Legaré
Voices: artists on art presents a series of one-hour interviews conducted in 2017 with 51 artists currently working across Canada. As both an artist video project and an exhibition, it assembles not a historical judgment, but a possible narrative sketch of what the idea of contemporary can mean today. In Voices, we can clearly hear through the diversity of their practices the artists' passion, intelligence, commitment and integrity.

Ginette Legaré’s latest body of work consists of sculptures and large scale installations drawn from reclaimed metal and wire objects. These redeployed and reconfigured fragments, now linked up beyond their expired functions, re-member lived material exchanges. As such exchanges tentatively inhabit the everchanging vocabulary of discards, they silently suggest the “chains” of longings, pasts, and futures inscribed at the core of our dependence on replaceable goods and networks.

BIRCH CONTEMPORARY is pleased to present Ginette Legaré's new solo exhibition, MOVING TARGET, in the East gallery, from September 10 to October 17, 2020.
The opening reception will take place on Thursday, September 10, from 5 to 9 p.m.
BIRCH CONTEMPORARY is located at 129 Tecumseth Street, Toronto.
Gallery hours are from Wednesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Ginette Legaré’s solo show, Moving Target, features a selection of recent sculptural works that focus on the perceptual and material entanglements at play in our Sisyphean realities. Drawn from her growing interest in the temporalities of her studio practice and object-retrieval processes, Legaré’s exhibition aims to hold some of the “moving” in things, still. The works in this exhibition suggest evolving abstract and embodied connections to the silences nested in discards, daily routines and manual labor, recovering some of what’s often overlooked there-- where a given story often stands for, or hides, another.

D’ICI ET D’AILLEURS
Ginette Legaré talks about her mixed-media exhibition, D’ici et d’aillleurs, held at the Centre d’artistes Vaste et Vague in October and November 2019. Her artworks were the result of on-site research and work with reclaimed objects carried out during two residencies held at Carleton-sur-Mer (Québec) in 2018 and 2019, and in her Toronto studio.
