Jocelyne Belcourt Salem

Glimmer is a series of 80 stainless steel markers, etched with text and attached to trees. It is a meticulously researched collection of archaeological fragments, a collage of identity located in, and specific to this site. This meticulous, scientific based ordering and codification of information, is a major component of Belcourt Salem's work.

For more than two decades, pyramids, boats and wheels have populated my sculptures and paintings. In my vanguard search to create an enduring work of art, I have come back to them time and time again, these steadfast symbols of timelessness. Most recently for this new installation at The Tree Museum. Arcs in sod and neon, boats of woven twigs resting high up in a tree, pyramids of cotton, wood and rocks, they satisfy my appetite for a timeless flavour, my appetite for objects that arouse curiosity and stimulate the viewers creative imagination.

Francis LeBouthillier

Located under a large boulder, an industrial scale has been anchored which registers the weight of this mass on a digital readout. When you touch or stand on the rock the pressure or weight will be added, thus including you in the calculation quantification. This installation titled Pressure Sensitive, references the idiosyncratic preoccupations with the body in an attempt to dialogue with nature. With this new work, Francis LeBouthillier challenges our preconceived notions about gender and beauty, the ideal body, and our relationship to nature. He presents the male perspective and provokes us to examine gender constructions in our culture. If you choose to interact with this work it makes a point of revealing your weight in public (often a very personal thing).
