Projet Pangée is proud to present its very first virtual exhibition entitled L'île déserte. Inspired by our context, a world where galleries and exhibition spaces are abandoned and stripped of all human presence, we invite you to discover a place where nature unfolds quietly amongst artworks. With some effects of global warming, Papier Art fair is now set in a tropical climate!

Trevor Baird ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ
Trevor Baird (b.1990, Vancouver, Canada) lives and works in Montreal. He has studied at NSCAD University, Halifax, and holds a BFA in Ceramics from Concordia University. His work has recently been exhibited at the Eli and Edythe Broad Museum, Lansing; Harpy, Rutherford; The Hole, New York; Projet Pangee, Montreal; Arsenal, Toronto. He was recently shortlisted for the Winifred Shantz Award in 2019 and has an upcoming show at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (Canada). Baird’s practice combines the ancient language of ceramics with the contemporary aesthetic of comic books, creating hybrid objects that blend the sentimentality of DIY with the idealized perfection of industrial productions. Playing off from the histories of function, decoration, labour, and temporality, Baird reinforces the tension between the preciousness of porcelain and its home-crafted aspect. Through repeated gestures of molding, casting, and screenprinting, his work retains and highlights a process where intervention and error are introduced and cultivated through each step. He is represented by Projet Pangée in Montreal, Canada.
ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ Simone Blain
Simone Blain (Montreal, Canada) holds a BFA from Concordia University. Influenced by her everyday surroundings, her paintings are inspired by domestic objects and things that make up a home or environment; a curtain with ruffles, a house plant, or a pattern on a quilt. These things often take the form of lines that Blain redraws in variations, which are sometimes layered in a hard-edge painting style over softly blended backgrounds, producing subtle reliefs. Blain uses these elements to create an intimate yet playful relationship to the viewer. In 2019, she had her first solo exhibition at Egret Egress in Toronto, Canada.
Angela Heisch ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ
Angela Heisch received her MFA from SUNY Albany in 2014 from which she was awarded the Dedalus Foundation Fellowship. Heisch uses repetitive motifs to evoke strange but associative imagery. Employing an architectural and anthropomorphic abstract language, often interlocking or obstructing one another within an intimate space, her work intends to confront the viewer with feelings of playfulness, uncertainty, and intrigue. She has had recent solo shows with Davidson Gallery (New York City, USA), Gallery 106 Green (Brooklyn, USA), One River School (Allendale, USA) and No Place Gallery (Columbus, USA). Some recent group shows include Artual Gallery (Beirut, Lebanon), DCMoore Gallery (New York City, USA), Transmitter Gallery (Brooklyn, USA), Crush Curatorial (New York City, USA, Pt.2 Gallery (Oakland, Usa), Angell Gallery (Toronto, Canada), and Mother Gallery (Beacon, USA). Her work has been featured in numerous publications such as New American Paintings, ArtMaze, ArtNEWS, Art Forum, Art in America, The Brooklyn Rail, and Maake Magazine.
ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ Oda Iselin Sønderland
Oda Iselin Sønderland (b.1996, Oslo, Norway) received a Bachelor in Graphic Design and Illustration from the Oslo National Academy of Art in 2018. With her figura ive watercolor paintings, Sønderland experiments with associations and complex narratives, often with references to fairytales and mythology. Her use of symbolic elements and archetypical characters allude to experiences of identity, sexuality and puberty. Her varied work resembles one of dreams and of the subconscious hence creating a visual universe of her own psyche. In 2019, she had her first solo exhibition titled Magical Girl at Galleri Golsa (Oslo, Norway) and participated in Comic Tendencies, a group exhibition organized at Eve Leibe Gallery (London, UK).
Laurence Veri ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ ζ|||ζ
Laurence Veri (Montreal, Canada) holds a BFA from Concordia University. Her most recent pieces explore the natural world and its ideas of physicality, growth and decay through all imaginable permutations. Veri considers the ceramic process as an extension of her sensitivity, hence becoming a research tool to observe and mark our changing world. By the elusive nature of clay; its permanence and its flow, the artist questions our relationship to the materials that surrounds us. Her work has recently been presented during Épisode Laurier (2018), at Galerie Laroche / Joncas (2019), VENDU / SOLD benefir auction for Esse Magazine (2019), as well as at Guldagergaard at Skælskør in Denmark (2019). In 2021, she will exhibit pieces as part of the Manif d’art 10 - La biennale de Québec as well as at AXENÉO7 in Gatineau (QC). Veri is currently the artist-in-residence at the Center des arts visuels in Montreal (QC).
