About the Item

This photograph belongs to the series, "Absolute Powers / ex nihilo." These photographs dive deeper into the taboo and controversial topic of money by showcasing an array of intriguing real-world historic and contemporary objects (some worthless, others immensely valuable), while examining how societies perceive, express, and destroy value. What you see before you are gorgeous descendants of the original broken tulip cultivars from the infamous Dutch Tulipomania. Tulips were introduced into Europe from Turkey in the mid-1500’s. "Broken" tulips are infected with a benign virus called TBV, or the Tulip Breaking Virus, causing spectacularly unique and unpredictable separation of colors. These rare bulbs rapidly became collectible luxury items in Dutch society in the 17th century. Mania-fueled demand led to exorbitant price levels, ultimately creating a highly speculative trading market, which peaked and crashed dramatically circa 1637. People of all economic classes lost exorbitant sums of money—Imagine losing your entire net worth from one flower bulb! This craze is known as Tulipomania and is considered to be a paradigm for one of the first economic “bubbles.” Christos is a 1st-gen Greek-American fine-artist whose photographs probe themes of socioeconomics, culture, history, and architecture. As strong symbolic sparks in a frenetic 21st-century tangle, his creative intrigue is informed by identity, connection, nostalgia, and isolation.

Révélations 7 Digital Print, Contemporary Still-life, 2010s, Unframed

Révélations 7 Digital Print, Contemporary Still-life, 2010s, Unframed

By Patrick Beaulieu

Located in Montreal, Quebec

Patrick Beaulieu’s most recent project Révélations uses installation and digital prints to explore how artistic manipulation can create shifts in one’s expectations of the visual experience. Beaulieu clearly acknowledges his artistic presence in the work through mechanical and digital manipulation of the objects and images he presents. He becomes more than a passive observer and recorder of his physical world; the alteration of conventional photographs implants his voice and vision into the work. This approach directly addresses and contrasts artistic practices which seek to conceal the artist’s hand. His method diverges from those that attempt to present an uninterrupted and uncontaminated record, such as some documentary and straight photography. In using these stylized techniques, Beaulieu makes a palpable proclamation regarding the subjective and flexible condition of images. In Révélations, images of trees, moss, leaves and other natural objects are presented in strict colour schemes of muted grays, browns and greens. Though these colours are familiar components of the natural world that we experience in day-to-day life and in photographs of nature...
