Conference

Hyperrealism. This Is Not a Lecture

Auditorium in the Pierre Lassonde Pavilion

Through an exploration of striking works, see how representations of the human body are constantly evolving. The presentation will explore the themes addressed by the artists, such as childhood, old age, solitude, the passage of time, and death.

It will also look at the outstanding contributions of such key figures of hyperrealism as Duane Hanson, Ron Mueck, and Maurizio Cattelan.

Last but not least, special attention will be paid to Québec artists, who feature prominently in the exhibition for their work exploring the expressive possibilities of the hyperrealistic body.
