Préoccupations : Photographic Explorations of the Grey Nuns Mother House

Historique

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. The artists entered a space understood by its residents as constituting many realms: the sacred and the secular; the public and the private; the living and the dead; history and memory; transcendent existence and the necessities of daily life."
