On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the passing of Edmund Alleyn (1931–2004), Quebec’s cultural community is coming together to celebrate the legacy of one of the leading figures of contemporary art in the province. Over the next few weeks, a series of public events will highlight the richness of the artist’s multidisciplinary career.
In collaboration with cultural institutions La Caisse, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Cinéma du Musée and the Galeries Bellemare Lambert, this ambitious program—coordinated by filmmaker Jennifer Alleyn, the artist’s daughter—will take over several emblematic Montreal venues to introduce or reintroduce the general public to major works by Edmund Alleyn from various periods of his artistic production.
“This program allows us to revisit the richness of a multifaceted body of work, where irony meets poetry. It is a body of work that, through its creative freedom and continual reinvention, transcends time and trends, and speaks ever more directly to our present,” says Jennifer Alleyn.
