Pierre Dorion

March 4 to May 30, 2010

From March 4 to May 30, 2010, The Museum will present, in the new galleries of contemporary art, Pierre Dorion, Painting and Photography. For his very first exhibition in a Montreal museum, the Montreal painter has opted to present 15 canvases (2009-2010) alongside with some 40 archival photographs on which they are based. Visitors will discover that photograpy, although a little-known aspect of Dorion's oeuvre, actually plays a crucial role in the devlopement of his work.
