8 mars – JOURNÉE INTERNATIONALE DES FEMMES – ALLELUJAH! |
Nous soulignons l’importance de marquer la JOURNÉE INTERNATIONALE DES FEMMES qui s’est tenue hier. Il reste encore du chemin à faire pour atteindre l’égalité entre femme et homme et nous voulons l’atteindre ensemble à travers le monde. Notre sortie de publication, le mercredi, nous a empêché de marquer cette journée le jour où elle se tenait. En retour, nous croyons que tous les jours devraient être des journées internationales des femmes. |

Lettre d’appréciation de Vera Frenkel |
Hello Claude, Thank you so much for the news of this important publication, and for your evocative and moving description of the 10 du 2660 rue Jeanne-Mance atelier. What warmed my heart was your description of the atmosphere in the atelier, the kinds of exchanges that took place between artists, dancers (when Françoise was still focused on choreography), poets and philosophers, and how it generated the desire to create an Automatistes manifesto. Your text brings to mind the hope for just such a milieu which is hoped for in the historic building that houses the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, in the context of « Agnes Reimagined« , an architectural rebirth, where an artists’ residence is envisaged in which the kinds of fertile exchanges you describe can be encouraged. I’m sending a copy of your email to Jan Allen the former AEAC director with whom I recently discussed these plans, and to art historian and curator Sylvie Lacerte, who is my confidante in all such matters: The Atelier Leduc is a remarkable example; may the crazy world we live in permit realisation of plans that it inspires. Bravo, Claude, on your whole project!! It really is a labour of love. Warmest regards, Vera P.S. (I can’t help wondering whether the Jeanne-Mance building was still standing when I was a student at the École des Beaux-Arts.) |
March 8 – International Women’s Day – ALLELUJAH! |
We emphasize the importance of International Women’s Day which was yesterday. There is still a long way to go to achieve equality between women and men and we want to achieve it together all around the world. We are one day late for it but we believe that every day should be an International Women’s Day. |
