Pierre Bruneau – Visual artist

The exhibition POSTEZ L' ART! is now open to the public!

The Maison de la culture Janine-Sutto is pleased to present the first retrospective of the postal art project led by visual artist Pierre Bruneau for almost twenty-five years. POSTEZ L’ART! is both an exhibition, an artist’s residency and a community-driven postal creation adventure with the goal of breaking the isolation of people in these difficult times of the pandemic.

THE EXHIBITION

Since 1997, Pierre Bruneau has produced a monthly series of mailings intended for a select group of collectors-subscribers. The coprus embodies a memory under construction, a process that takes place over time.

To discover the works, visit the Postal Art section.

In recent weeks, several postal art creation workshops have been offered in schools, at the Centre jeunesse and in various community organizations. The enthusiasm of young and old alike who have so far participated in the workshops is nothing short of gratifying! A group of teenagers from the Centre jeunesse produced cards for people receiving services from the Montreal Association for the Intellectually Handicapped. The emotion could be read on their faces when we handed them the cards just before Christmas. People living with intellectual disabilities have in turn created cards for the boys at the Youth Center.
