Review of the MACM Exhibition in Canadian Art

Canadian Art Review:
"Chloë Lum and Yannick Desranleau, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, June 20 to August 4, 2019"
by Esmé Hogeveen



"Whether the body is explicitly present, as in Stones’ narrative, or alluded to by its absence, as in the set-like ambience of The Face Stayed East and its continual reconfiguration by performers, Lum and Desranleau denote the ways that bodily alterity mimics that of objects and vice-versa. By drawing on theatrical tropes across three distinct mediums—video, installation and performance—the artists remind us of how bodies and objects are always performing, always exerting themselves upon a kind of stage and anticipating their next act."
