Death of Jacques Lamoureux and Jacques Cleary

DEATH OF JACQUES LAMOUREUX (1934 – 2024)

WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THE PASSING OF JACQUES LAMOUREUX, ON DECEMBER 29, 2024.

Jacques Lamoureux was passionate about architecture and photography.  He was a film critic and worked at Société Radio-Canada from 1961 to 1991.

Jacques was an actor in the video production, Monsieur et Monsieur, by artist John Bock, participating artist in the 2011 Biennale de Montréal (curator: Claude Gosselin).  Although not a professional actor, Jacques Lamoureux generously agreed to follow John Bock’s instructions and take part in a demanding performance with his accomplice Ed Kostiner.  We have very fond memories of this unique and original production.

DEATH OF JACQUES CLEARY (1945 – 2024)

Jacques Cleary passed away on December 1. Jacques held many important positions with cultural organizations in Quebec. He was General Director and Secretary of the Conseil des arts de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal and Secretary of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

We enjoyed excellent relations with him, facilitated by his generosity and willingness to share.  He will be sorely missed.

Claude Gosselin, C.M.
