[In French] Signe d’authenticité, la signature dit l’origine de l’œuvre. Depuis toujours elle a permis à l’artiste de revendiquer sa singularité et a été preuve et repère pour la fondation du jugement esthétique. Ce dossier fait appel à des réflexions sur les multiples façons d'identifier ou de signer l'œuvre ou le processus artistique, ce que l'on pourrait nommer les formes nouvelles de signatures, incluant le portfolio de Carl Trahan.

Abstractions

Spring Summer 2025

Yet what about abstraction today? Long confined to formalist and self-referential imperatives, abstraction has gradually freed itself from the modernism yolk to recapture its evocative power. This issue proposes to turn away from the dogma of Abstraction as a historical genre to consider its various plastic and semantic avenues. In this invitation to explore abstractions, we wish to re-establish a dialogue between content and form, between the political and the poetic, by engaging with works that evoke reality differently. Whether they are qualified as abstract, non-figurative, or non-objective, these works certainly tell us stories.
