Opening: Friday, September 8, 2023 - 5PM to 10pm
Guided tour of the exhibition by Bianca Shonee Arroyo-Kreimes and Ji-Yoo Han: September 23, 2023, 3pm.

OPTICA is proud to participate in the 18th edition of MOMENTA Biennale de l’image, Masquerades: Drawn to Metamorphosis, curated by Ji-Yoon Han. OPTICA will present individual exhibitions by the artists Bianca Shonee Arroyo-Kreimes and Lindsay Katsitsakatste Delaronde.

Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal — From September 8 to October 21, 2023, OPTICA will present solo exhibitions by the artists Bianca Shonee Arroyo-Kreimes and Lindsay Katsitsakatste Delaronde, whose works activate processes of transformation, mimetics, and mutation through living beings.

Individuals are constantly recorded, formatted, fixed as same and identical, so how do we (re)set in motion our understanding of identities and differences? This question offers avenues for exploration and paths for reflection around the Biennale’s theme and the works of its artists.

Bianca Shonee Arroyo-Kreimes examines the ambivalent relationships between humans and the natural world within the context of ecological destruction. As she builds virtual realms populated with hybrid beings inspired by real flora and fauna, including those from the tropical forest of her native Costa Rica, her 3D animation works simulate an opulent natural environment that evolves in parallel to humanity. Technology itself is likened to an organism composed of multiple layers of superimposed and interlinked images, offering possible ways to reconnect with our devastated environment.

For the multimedia installation The Pond, Arroyo-Kreimes revisits the diorama, a staged reconstruction of wildlife in its environment, found in natural history museums. Imaginary creatures vibrate and pulsate in screen-enclosures, immersed in an aqueous setting of pearlescent reflections. Although captive, they navigate and metamorphose through feedback loops that convert digital signals into analog ones, then re-encode them in digital format. Here, we find ourselves caught within this phantasmagoric refuge, at times coexisting with the butterflies, millipedes, and chimerical salamanders. So who, now, is the subject of this show?

Exhibition presented by MOMENTA Biennale de l’image and produced in partnership with OPTICA. This artist is supported by the MOMENTA x RBC Foundation program.

MOMENTA Creative
La Biennale includes the MOMENTA Creative program, a series of educational activities, creative workshops, and guided tours. Each activity, organized in relation to the Biennale’s theme, is free of charge and offered to groups, families, and individuals. Designed with a concern for inclusion and representativeness, our program conveys our desire to provide innovative cultural mediation.

The workshop Les êtres invisibles, designed for preschool and elementary-school groups, is centred around the art practices of Bianca Shonee Arroyo-Kreimes and Bianca Baldi, whose work is presented at Diagonale. The workshop will be led by the MOMENTA team in collaboration with OPTICA jeunesse and will take place at OPTICA and Diagonale.

PRESS REVIEWS

FRIDAY WORKSHOPSCours Description:
This series serves as a playful study in heightening ones capacity for both inner, and outer perception through kinaesthetic awareness; aiding connection to self and to “other” via movement, expression, and observation.

Classes are led in English and French, and include guided visualizations, warm-up sequences, body mapping, energy circulation, postural considerations, grounding, partnering, weight exchange, group formations, structured improvisation, musicality and more.

Vibe:
Sessions are held in a non-judgemental setting where self
is defined by felt experience – rather than appearance.
Participants are encouraged to honour personal capacities, and engage at their own pace. This is not a technique class, rather a context for exploration. 

HD is intended to embrace everyone from experienced movers to curious new comers.
Material can easily be absorbed into personal practices for generating creativity and providing self-care... or to initiate one!

When/where:
6 consecutive weeks on
Fridays 18h30-20h30pm
(September 8 - October 13 2023)
at White Wall Studio

The cost is $15
(If you are unable to afford this but wish to attend please reach out).

Everyone is welcome to join – previous training is not required and classes are drop-in friendly
week to week.
