| Salle 1 | Caroline Hayeur |  | | Mes nuits blanches | | | In 1996, Caroline Hayeur began a photographic series on the Montreal rave and techno scenes. Over the years this research developed a variety of ramifications and made space for numerous series turning around nightlife... | |
| Salle 2 | Jean Dupuy |  | | Analogies | | | French artist Jean Dupuy first made himself known in the '70s for his experimentation and for his contributions to the spread, in New York - where he lived from 1968 to the beginning of the '80s - of collective practices and performance, as well as technology-based and conceptual art. Dupuy, who also worked closely with the Fluxus group, has, for the last twenty years, applied himself to the making of anagrams... | |

| Salle 2 | Marcio Lana-Lopez |  | | the wild size | The work of Marcio Lana rests on processes of appropriation, deconstruction and reinterpretation. From these, he pulls a fusion of the real and the fictional, the rational and the passionate, the intellectual and the sensual.
For his first solo exhibition in Quebec, Lana presents The Wild Size, an installation marking out - with decadent humour - the distortions that occur in the processes of acquiring knowledge and interpreting a language, more specifically that of analytic philosophy... | |
| From March 11 to April 17, 2004 |
| Salle 1 | Martin Dufrasne and Carl Bouchard |  | | | Première exposition en duo à Montréal pour ces deux artistes multidisciplinaires installés à Chicoutimi. Bouchard et Dufrasne occuperont la salle 1 avec un projet qui prend sa dynamique dans l'oxymore ACTIF / PASSIF. L'installation et les actions seront construites comme des structures théâtrales perverses, proposant une relation tordue entre acteur/spectateur, objet/sujet, adhésion/répulsion. Le duo bénéficiera du programme de résidence du Centre. | |
| Salle 2 | Eric Simon and Paul P. |  | | | Exposition tandem. Le comité de programmation souhaitait faire une rencontre pour ces deux artistes aux pratiques picturalement similaires et conceptuellement opposées. Eric Simon présentera une accumulation de près de vingt ans d'autoportraits réalisés sur une base hebdomadaire. Grotesque, réaliste, caricaturale, torturée, la palette de Simon est perméable au passage du temps. En contre partie, Paul P. peint des portraits de jeunes hommes en extase. Le temps est ici arrêté dans une post-adolescence quasiment naïve. | |
| From April 29 to June 5, 2004 |

Pratiquant la vidéo de manière assidue depuis quelques années, Bujold nous concocte un bricolage vidéographique et un montage bricolographique de comptes-à-rebours et d'objets dérivés. | |
| All year projects 2003-2004 |
| Residency | Clément de GAULEJAC | | | L'artiste propose une investigation, une recherche de l'historique du Centre Clark par le biais des outils de promotion, de la documentation visuelle et textuelle des activités du Centre et des projets d'artistes qui y ont été présentés. L'approche critique du projet s'articulera par une grille du champ lexical de l'art contemporain que l'artiste tentera de définir avec des outils d'analyse rigoureux (statistique, vocabulaire, concepts et propositions d'artistes, graphisme, papeterie, etc.). | |

At the invitation of the Bordeaux-based publisher Bleu du ciel press, 17 artists from France and Quebec, of diverse generations and artistic practices, were selected to take up the creative challenge of appropriating “the poster.” This is a form that, more often than not, is the bearer of messages and that reveals the close ties between advertising and contemporary art. Throughout its annual programming, Clark will present these posters (two to three by exhibit). To you, then, to discover them ! ... | |
