MONTREAL, CANADA.- From April 23 to October 9, 2005, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal presents Matters of Time and Space, a brand-new exhibition of recent additions to the permanent collection. The show contains thirteen works—photographs, paintings, installations and videos—acquired over the past three years, by thirteen artists from Québec and beyond. The works featured suggest “particular connections to the space-time continuum”.

Other recent acquisitions - From April 23 to September 18, 2005, the Musée is also presenting a holographic installation by Michael Snow entitled Maura seated, 1985, in the Omer DeSerres Gallery, and Irises, after Van Gogh (from Pictures of Magazines), 2004, by artist Vik Muniz, in the foyer. The latter work is a conceptual photo based on Van Gogh’s most famous work, but on a monumental scale. In connection with this presentation, the documentary Worst Possible Illusion: The Curiosity Cabinet of Vik Muniz (director: Anne-Marie Russel, 2001. New York: Mixed Greens, 54 min) will be screened in the Gazoduc-TQM Room from April 26 to September 18, 2005, at 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.

The MACM is a provincially owned corporation funded by the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec. It receives additional funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canada Council for the Arts. Several of the works included in the exhibition were purchased with the support of the Acquisition Assistance program of the Canada Council for the Arts.
