Préoccupations : Photographic Explorations of the Grey Nuns Mother House = Explorations photographiques de la maison mère des Soeurs Grises.

"An artistic commission is a form of staged encounter. Preoccupations is the photographic expression of encounters between twelve artists, commissioned by Concordia University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, and a sprawling historic building that, since 1871, has been the home of a Roman Catholic Order, the Sisters of Charity, known since the Order’s foundation as the Grey Nuns.

The Mother House is a monument as well as a home to the individual women who inhabit and care for the building.
