Paulette Phillips
Lisa Klapstock / Paulette Phillips
Gérard WajcmanCatalogue accompagnant la première exposition à Paris de Lisa Klapstock et Paulette Phillips. Exposition composée d'installations vidéographiques et de photographies, elle réunit un ensemble d'oeuvres majeures de ces artistes de Toronto : Ambiguous Landscapes (2003-2005), Threshold (2001-2002) et la première mondiale de l'installation vidéographique Field Studies (2007) de Klapstock ; It's about how people judge appearance (2001), The Floating House (2002), Crosstalk (2004) et Monster Tree (2006) de Phillips. Le psychanalyste et écrivain français Gérard Wajcman apporte un regard singulier face à la rencontre de ce duo de femmes. Il soulève notamment un diptyque composé de Field Studies et de Monster Tree, qui mettent en œuvre chacune à leur manière, tout en jouant sur la frontière entre froideur technologique et enchantement visuel et imaginaire, une vision de « l'humanité des temps modernes ». En français et anglais.
Publication accompanying the Canadian participation in International Encounters, a program intended to sponser artists in different European contexts, thus making this the first time the two Toronto artists will be seen in Paris, Madrid and Berlin. Composed of video installations and photographs, the exhibition brings together major works: Ambiguous Landscapes (2003-2005), Threshold (2001-2002) and the world premiere of the video installation Field Studies (2007) by Klapstock; It's about how people judge appearance (2001), The Floating House (2002), Crosstalk (2004) and Monster Tree (2006) by Phillips. French psychoanalyst and author Wajcman provides a unique reading of this encounter between the pair of women by bringing forth a diptych formed by Field Studies and Monster Tree. For the author, each of these two pieces creates - each in its own way yet both playing on the borderline between technology and visual and imaginary enchantment - a vision of "humanity in modern times".

Paulette Philips : The Secret Life of Criminals / Clues and Curiosities
Kathleen Pirrie Adams & Gordon HattPhillips' film and video installations are uniquely provocative and intriguing. Each has involved a particular historical event that has bolstered her interests in emotional states of being and narrative construction. Her work circles obsessively around themes of social history, forensics, psychology and science.
