Exposition Blanc Sur Noir
Le Centre Culturel Aberdeen aura une toute nouvelle exposition à la Galerie 12 à partir du vendredi 14 juin intitulé Blanc Sur Noir. Les artistes des ouvres sont Diana LeBlanc et Jocelyne Doiron. Voici leur démarche artistique:
L’ardoise et la porcelaine sont des matériaux qui m’inspirent par leur fragilité. La blancheur de la porcelaine contre les veines noires de l’ardoise me rappelle la craie que l’on utilisait anciennement sur les tablettes, du temps ou nos ancêtres recevaient leur éducation. La cohabitation des deux matériaux, la porcelaine et l’ardoise donnent une direction et articule mon travail. L’intimité qui constitue l’essence reste encrée à l’intérieur pour ne jamais se dévoiler. L’ardoise et la porcelaine, ces matériaux m’inspirent par leur fragilité.
Cost: Free

Thanks for helping to promote the games. One small change has been made; the concert on Wednesday evening will take place at the gazebo just down from the Chocolate River Station, not at the station itself.
Duly noted, I’ve made the changes! Hope to see you at the Games, it sounds like it’s going to be pretty fantastic!
