SCULPTURE: Coinciding with Frelighsburg's Festiv'Art event, Galerie DESIGN will unveil a sculpture garden and indoor sculpture exhibition on Saturday, August 30, 2008, featuring the work of several notable Eastern Townships (and one Vermont) artists including:
Eddy Heath - This prolific Boston native now resides in Sutton, Quebec,
and has been widely praised for his "astounding modern megalithic monuments."
Don Davidson - Now in Waterloo after winning industrial design awards in New York, Don
builds metal sculpture that combines Bauhaus rigour and mind-warping 3D geometrical gymnastics.
More details...
Sally Kininmonth - Trained in Glasgow and Edinburgh, now residing in Lac-Brome, Sally's stunningly original bronze
sculpture explores bodies in 3D, from humans to horses.
David James - In his Sutton studio David conjures up shimmering miracles of
transparent contemporary sculpture cast in coloured glass. His works have been exhibited in
museums and have won awards in Canada and the US.
Amun Surette - Based in Dunham, Amun is best known for his high-end furniture, composed of granite,
marble, stainless steel, oxidized metals, and a variety of local woods. His outdoor sculpture is arrestingly powerful and original.
James Ewing - In his atelier in the hills above Frelighsburg, James uses a
variety of woods and metals to explore organic form and mechanical constructions.
Michel Viala - Taking ceramics to new artistic heights, Michel brings some of his enchanted
St-Armand sculpture-garden magic to Freligshburg.
Marek Latzmann - Originally from the Czech Republic, this Sutton resident works in wood and clay to create
extraordinary representations of animals and human figures.
Gampo Wickenheiser - This resident of Montpelier Vermont chose to live
near the famous quarries of Barre; he carves marble and granite in the classical tradition, revealing human
emotion and character through the masterful shaping of stone.
The show and sculpture garden will continue until October 12, 2008. Hours...
PRINT EXHIBITION: The Galerie DESIGN is delighted to present the extraordinary drawings of Frederic Desaulnier. This remarkable young artist is a member of the Atelier Circulaire and his prints are part of private and corporate collections (Loto-Quebec, la Biblioteque nationale, etc).

Frelighsburg (Québec), 26 août 2007 – Alors que la controverse fait rage dans les Cantons de l’Est au sujet de l’implantation de parcs éoliens, le propriétaire de la Galerie DESIGN, Eden Muir, a demandé à des architectes et designers de la région de réfléchir à la question sous l’angle de l’environnement visuel. « On a du mal à se faire une idée de ces vastes grappes de tours géantes », lance Muir. Usant de différentes techniques (dessin à main levée, affiches, animatique, photographie, dessin assisté par ordinateur (DAO) et maquettes) les participants nous font visualiser ces géants au milieu des paysages où ils sont prévus. Sorge examine la notion d’échelle du point de vue de la nature, et présente de grandes esquisses au fusain. Approfondissant ce thème qui lui est cher, Sorge dévoile la puissance poétique des rapports d’échelle dans la nature et la met en relation avec les besoins insatiables et toujours grandissants des hommes. Muir compare l’exposition à ce que les architectes appellent traditionnellement une charrette : une présentation de travaux au dernier moment. « Les positions des participants et leurs productions visuelles, nous les découvrirons seulement lorsqu’elles seront accrochées aux cimaises magnétiques de la galerie et que nous allumerons les spots. » Parmi les participants à « L’ÉCHELLE DU VENT », on trouve : BERNICE SORGE, peintre et graveure CINDY DIANE RHEAULT, photographe ROBERT GALBRAITH, photographe JULIEN GEOFFROY, architecte EDEN MUIR, architecte JOSHUA WOLFE, consultant en environnement PETER DARE, consultant en communications SUSAN MUIR, conceptrice architecturale SIMON ARCHAMBAULT, stagiaire en architecture ALEX COGSWELL, étudiant en architecture ELLIOT SELICK, consultant en design RENE GINGRAS, auteur La Galerie DESIGN est située au cœur de Frelighsburg, ce pittoresque village de l’Estrie où se tient chaque année, pendant le week-end de la Fête du travail, le populaire Festiv’Art (festivart.org). Exposition : 1
– 16 sept. 2007

September 1 - 16 (during the Frelighsburg Festiv'Art weekend), and by appointment Frelighsburg, Quebec (August 27, 2007) -- Given the ongoing wind-farm controversy in the Eastern Townships, Galerie Design owner Eden Muir has asked local architects and designers to consider the resulting visual environment. Muir said, "It's hard to imagine these vast clusters of giant towers." Using a variety of media including freehand drawing, posters, computer animation, photography, CAD drawings and scale models, the designers help to visualize these giants in the landscape. Sorge presents large charcoal sketches, examining scale from the point of view of nature. Under her theme, Sorge delves into the poetic aspects of scale in nature and man's unending and ever-increasing needs. Muir compares the exhibition to a traditional design "charrette" or last-moment architectural presentation, in its urgency and informality. "We will only see the statements and images when the results are snapped to the gallery's magnetic walls and the spotlights are turned on." The SCALE OF THE WIND participants include: BERNICE SORGE, painter / printmaker CINDY DIANE RHEAULT, photographer ROBERT GALBRAITH, photographer JULIEN GEOFFROY, architect EDEN MUIR, architect JOSHUA WOLFE, environmental consultant PETER DARE, communications consultant SUSAN MUIR, architectural designer SIMON ARCHAMBAULT, architectural intern ALEX COGSWELL, architecture student ELLIOT SELICK, design consultant RENE GINGRAS, writer Galerie DESIGN is located at the heart of Frelighsburg, the picturesque Eastern Townships village which hosts the popular Festiv'Art event (festivart.org) every Labour Day weekend. Exhibition: 1 - 16 sept. 2007
