A History of Making, Using, Describing and Making Accessible Electronic Circuit Diagrams 

---tag: talk

In her first solo exhibition, Arta Ajeti presents a new body of intimate graphite drawings based on a personal archive of photographic references. Feminine figures appear in shadowy, dreamlike scenes populated by wrecked cars, theatrical curtains, static-filled screens, stairwells, storm clouds, and ornamental surfaces, where glamour and decay sit in uneasy proximity. Using graphite, Ajeti pushes the image toward both clarity and breakdown, creating works suspended between memory, fantasy, and desire.

Artists Zohra Opoku and Mallory Lowe Mpoka discuss shared concerns surrounding memory, materiality, and the transmission of diasporic histories. Both artists engage with the space between identity and memory as a means of movement and connection, bridging cultures, geographies, and time. This talk is part of a larger initiative titled "Networks of the Black Atlantic: Cultural Heritage, Knowledge, and Solidarity."

Carrefour is opening on Wednesday, April 8th with histamine, Shahan Assadourian's first solo exhibition. Located in Family's former gallery space on Laurier West, Carrefour is the brainchild of Sophie présente and Family. The show brings together an entirely new body of work that investigates Shahan's previous exploration of infection, emotional freedom, and cuteness overload.

Jérôme Nadeau will present his solo show A GOOD SLEEPER. The paintings in the exhibition were developed through multiple phases. Images shift and transform from one state to another: drawings and photographs are digitized, compressed, translated into sound, then reconverted, printed, altered, scanned, and digitally reconfigured before being screen-printed at the limits of legibility. The works do not seek to illustrate or stabilize, but to probe what wavers: blurred thresholds of perception, zones of noise, surfaces shaped by error and uncertainty.

Patience is a solo presentation by Ontario-based artist Tony Romano. Carrefour is pleased to host Romano's work in Montreal, revisiting a selection of video and sculptural works produced between 2022 and 2024. This exhibition is made possible thanks to Franz Kaka.
