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
