Ginette Legaré’s upcoming show, Moving Target, features a selection of recent sculptural works that focus on the perceptual and material entanglements at play in our Sisyphean realities. Drawn from her growing interest in the temporalities of her studio practice and object-retrieval processes, Legaré’s exhibition aims to hold some of the “moving” in things, still. The works in this exhibition suggest evolving abstract and embodied connections to the silences nested in discards, daily routines and manual labor, recovering some of what’s often overlooked there-- where a given story often stands for, or hides, another.
