La table de feux<\/em> est une sculpture qui puise son inspiration \u00e0 plusieurs sources. Comme id\u00e9e de d\u00e9part, je me suis imagin\u00e9 un g\u00e2teau de f\u00eate g\u00e9ant, avec ses chandelles toutes allum\u00e9es lors d’un banquet quelconque, mais qui devient carr\u00e9ment la table m\u00eame sur laquelle il est\u00a0 pos\u00e9. Avec cette pi\u00e8ce, je veux c\u00e9l\u00e9brer la cr\u00e9ation \u00e0 diff\u00e9rents niveaux, autant domestique que g\u00e9ologique. La grande table, avec des excroissances \u00e0 sa surface ressemblant\u00a0 \u00e0 un champs de volcans, nous appelle \u00e0 r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir sur des moments de c\u00e9l\u00e9brations qui marquent nos vies ainsi que sur les grands \u00e9v\u00e9nements de cr\u00e9ation g\u00e9ologique et par extension, \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation cosmique. Il y a donc r\u00e9f\u00e9rence au temps qui se manifeste autant dans le macro que dans le micro et par qui nous essayons de trouver\u00a0 le sens en le mesurant et le divisant en \u00e9v\u00e9nements importants.[youtube width=\u00a0\u00bb250″ height=\u00a0\u00bb187″]http:\/\/youtu.be\/38lxvLVNdcI[\/youtube]<\/p>\n

Fait \u00e0 partir de la technique traditionnelle de construction qu’est\u00a0 le clayonnage enduit de torchis, la plupart des mat\u00e9riaux seront r\u00e9colt\u00e9s sur place autour du lieu o\u00f9 la sculpture sera \u00e9rig\u00e9e. L’aspect organique de l’objet faire basculer notre interpr\u00e9tation entre une imposante b\u00eate fabuleuse, un diorama de paysage et un meuble surdimensionn\u00e9. Lors du vernissage, la sculpture sera anim\u00e9e par une fum\u00e9e orange provenant de bombes fumig\u00e8nes plac\u00e9es dans une cavit\u00e9 sous la table.

\nA native of Sydney Australia, Christopher Varady-Szabo<\/strong> has been living in Gasp\u00e9, Qu\u00e9bec for over thirty years.\u00a0 Following a year of architectural studies at the University of New South Wales, he completed his fine arts degree at l\u2019Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al (UQAM). In September 2011, he began studies towards his Masters of Fine Arts at The University of Ottawa. His work has been shown in Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Switzerland, Finland, France, Belgium and Poland. He has been the recipient of several grants from both the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n

By exploring habitats and architectural systems, Christopher Varady-Szabo creates ephemeral installation pieces that reveal the relationship between the being and the environment, and reactivates the \u00abprimitive space\u00bb, or an instinctive approach to life. His sculptures are inspired by primitive structures for which he employs and adapts authentic traditional building methods. The artist invests much importance in the building process and in the manual labour and human scale involved. \u00a0His work tries to establish the Relationship between territory and architecture, between the being and the habitat, between the space and the emotions it conveys.<\/p>\n

La table des feux (The Table of Fire)<\/em> consists of a sculpture which gets its inspiration from many sources. As an initial idea, I imagined an enormous birthday cake with all of its candles lit at a banquet of some sort, but which eventually becomes the table on which it is placed. With this work, I want to celebrate creation on many different levels, from domestic to geological. The big table, with its surface growths resembling a volcanic field, calls to us to reflect upon the celebratory moments in our lives, and also on the major events of geological creation and by extension, cosmic creation itself. There is a reference to time in both macro and micro form and by measuring and dividing it into significant events, we try to find meaning.<\/p>\n

Made from wattle and daub, the most traditional construction technique, most of the materials will be collected on site near the sculpture’s site. The organic aspect of the object will radically affect our interpretation which will swing from imposing mythical beast, to landscape diorama, to oversized piece of furniture. During the opening, the sculpture will be brought to life by orange smoke released by\u00a0 smoke bombs placed in a cavity under the table.[\/wpcol_1half_end][:]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
