You are warmly invited to the opening of the exhibition Of Forms and Waves: A Printed Space, on Thursday, June 19, from 5 p.m. at Galerie R3 in Trois-Rivières.
Created by members of Atelier Circulaire, this group exhibition is part of the parallel program of the 14th Biennale internationale d’estampe contemporaine de Trois-Rivières (BIECTR). Of Forms and Waves: A Printed Space explores the theme of accumulation—a concept inherent to printmaking practices. Interpreted through various visual and conceptual approaches, this theme serves as a catalyst for formal experimentation and dialogue between works. Curated by Dominique Desbiens, the exhibition highlights the richness of artistic expertise and the diversity of practices among Atelier Circulaire's member artists.
