In Praise of the Missing Image

from Sep 11, 2025 to Mar 8, 2026
Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal

By focusing on what escapes visibility, silences and gaps in individual and collective memory, the works assembled here address both the contemporary stakes of the image and the present day consequences of the complex dynamics behind narrative construction. In Praise of the Missing Image, in this context, invites reflection on how the stories we are told are shaped and by whom.

Through a variety of media such as photography, sculpture, installation, and video, the MAC and MOMENTA propose an exhibition centered on colonialism and its various symbolic ramifications, notably historical monuments, sport, extractivism, and the climate crisis. The works, which shed light on the mechanisms of ongoing exclusion and marginalization, question the gaze and open up the poetic potential of images to diversify dominant historical narratives.
