Rebecca Duclos' project entitled Proposal emerged from a short-term research residency that was focused on the newly-processed archives at the Montreal artist-run gallery Skol. Drawing from material included as part of various artist proposals that had been submitted to the gallery during the past two decades, an audio piece was launched as part of Skol's 27th anniversary exhibition in November 2011. Below is the accompanying wall text for In this lack of containment lies a danger but also a power (audio, 2011, 5' 30"). Listen to the recording via Soundcloud, (5' 30") In the same way that certain proposals "spoke" to me, I invited actors to animate Skol's archives by speaking to the visitor. The voices heard on the recording read excerpts from eight different project proposals submitted to the gallery between 1996-2011. Artist proposals in order of appearance: Nicolas Baier (1999) An enormous thank you to actors: Hubert Alain, Aude Barras, Michelle Cohen, Paige Halam-Andres, Ilana Hanukov, Flora Dunster, Annie Rose Maarleveld, Vincent Marquis, Sinead Petrasek, Emeline Vidal |
