Jean Paul Riopelle Foundation and Concordia University partner to collect and share oral history !
Jean Paul Riopelle Foundation and Concordia University partner to collect and share oral history
The Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling embarks on a project to mark the centenary of the iconic painter's birth
Montreal, May 17, 2021 - As a lead-up to the 100th anniversary of the birth of artist Jean Paul Riopelle in 2023, the Jean Paul Riopelle Foundation and Concordia have teamed up for an ambitious project: to create a digital oral archive that will deepen our understanding of and share knowledge about the life and career this world-renowned artist.
The three-year partnership — the result of a new collaborative agreement with the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS) in Montreal — was made possible by a $150,000 grant from the Jean Paul Riopelle Foundation, with the generous support of the Audain Foundation and the Jarislowsky Foundation.

The grant will support the work of Lea Kabiljo, BFA 04, MA 09, an oral history expert and doctoral student in the Department of Art Education at Concordia. Over the next few years, Kabiljo will collect stories from family members, friends and colleagues who knew and worked with Jean Paul Riopelle during his lifetime, as well as from contemporary artists who were influenced and inspired by Riopelle's unique work. In her research, Kabiljo will work closely with Emma Haraké, MA 19, the COHDS’s coordinator, under the direction of Sébastien Caquard, the COHDS’s co-director. The team will also benefit from the support of Colette St-Hilaire, researcher for the Riopelle Foundation.
The goal is to make these stories accessible to the general public as part of a new kind of digital project, which will enhance the broader understanding of the artist's work and vision. The result of this partnership will be unveiled as part of the celebration of Jean Paul Riopelle's centenary, scheduled for 2023.

“We are very proud to announce this new partnership and warmly thank Concordia University, the Audain Foundation and the Jarislowsky Foundation for their invaluable collaboration on this magnificent project," says Manon Gauthier, executive director of the Jean Paul Riopelle Foundation.
"The extensive expertise of the COHDS team will enable the creation of a high-calibre digital oral archive, combining cutting-edge technology and the human factor in order to trace and document for posterity the extraordinary career of one of the world's most influential 20th-century artists," Gauthier adds. "This oral archive promises to take us beyond the images, photos and works of Riopelle to discover the artist behind the art. The stories collected through this partnership will be an invaluable legacy for future generations of artists who will surely find endless sources of inspiration.”
Caquard at the COHDS is equally pleased with the collaboration, offering a fitting analogy. He says that oral history is to history what pointillism is to painting.
"It allows us to arrange diverse and singular voices like so many dots on a canvas to offer an overall vision of a period, an event, a community, a life or a work," he explains. "The project on the work and life of Jean Paul Riopelle is part of this perspective, as it takes a fresh and diversified look at the artist's work, his era and his contemporary influence through the voices of those who worked with him or were inspired by him.
"The COHDS is honoured to collaborate with the Jean Paul Riopelle Foundation to redraw the contours of this artist's work and life through the nuances and depth that oral history offers.”
Kabiljo will have a busy summer at the COHDS, preparing for the public outreach.
“It will be a privilege to deepen our knowledge of Jean Paul Riopelle beyond his art, through the anecdotes, experiences and memories of those who knew him personally or were inspired by his work. An artist of Riopelle's calibre leaves his mark on the world around him in many ways," she says. "It will be fascinating to discover the extent of his influence on the art world from the past to the present.”
Lea Kabiljo: a multidisciplinary artist and researcher
Lea Kabiljo's research interests include oral history, photography, empathy in a pedagogical context and teacher-education programs. Her art practice combines oral history and photography and she teaches visual arts at the high-school level, as well as undergraduate temporal media.
Kabiljo was previously the executive director of LOVE: Leave Out Violence, a leading violence-prevention organization for vulnerable youth. She is a recipient of the Fonds de recherche du Québec doctoral scholarship as well as numerous awards from Concordia.
Oral history: a thousand-year-old discipline
Since the dawn of time, knowledge has been transmitted through oral narratives. This traditional practice, which is particularly prevalent among the First Nations and Inuit of Canada, fascinated Jean Paul Riopelle. The artist even went so far as to dedicate an entire series of works inspired by the string games — "ajaraaq" in Inuktitut — played by young Inuit.
Linking oral history, virtual media, art and education, this collaborative project combines tradition and modern technology to ensure the stories collected about Riopelle’s life, work and influence will be passed on to future generations.
Public contributions to the oral archive project
Did you know Jean Paul Riopelle during his lifetime? Are you an artist whose work was partly influenced by Riopelle? The Riopelle Foundation and Concordia want to hear your stories!
Stay tuned over the next few months as a public call goes out for contributions from all those who knew Jean Paul Riopelle during his lifetime, in Canada and around the world. Your story could be recorded by the COHDS team and added to our oral archive of the artist’s incredible life and prolific career.

Catch Casey Chalem Anderson's post! Beautiful "Pink Sky, Pink Water"!

“Pink Sky, Pink Water” 24 x 36 inches oil on canvas by Casey Chalem Anderson
There was an icy chill to the air so I double wrapped myself in 2 sweaters to walk the beach. For only a few precious moments the air filled with pink. The sky turned fluorescent pink and the water reflected flecks of pink from the sky and melted into a lavender surface. I felt like I was inside a soft, velvety envelope of pink atmosphere. I inhaled pink.
There are some sunsets that are so spectacular that you can’t believe that what you are seeing is real. They make you wonder about the vast universe. What is real after all?
Scientific studies have been made on the effects of color on the emotions. When you are exposed to color your brain waves change altering your mood. Curiously, this affect appears to be more pronounced in women. In my life it was always my Dad who pointed out colors for me to take note of. He showed me what to look for and trained my visual senses from when I was little. Now, living here at the beach where the sky and water put on a color show every day I’m always aware of the colors.

Hi All I thought this was interesting:Hearing Aids May 28 – December 4, 2021
Hearing Aids
May 28 – December 4, 2021
Short Film Program Explores the Poetics of the Senses
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, April 29, 2021 — McEvoy Foundation for the Arts is pleased to announce Hearing Aids, a program of short films and videos that consider a new sensory sensitivity to a world emerging from the coronavirus pandemic. On view in the McEvoy Arts Screening Room, and in conjunction with the exhibition Next to You, Hearing Aids addresses sound, movement, touch, and language in relation to feelings of community and isolation. It is guest curated by visual artist and filmmaker Alison O’Daniel and runs in two parts from May 28 through August 31 and September 1 through December 4, 2021.
Within her practice, O’Daniel often collaborates with hearing, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf composers, musicians, performers, and athletes in order to highlight the loss or re-creation of information as it passes through various channels. For Hearing Aids, she exposes viewers to how sound can dictate the image, complicating our notions of how we comprehend the relationship between the aural and the visual.
Hearing Aids draws attention to a spacious view of sound not always rooted in the ear. O’Daniel, who herself is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids, cites the loss of taste and smell that is symptomatic of COVID-19 infection as a point of departure for the curation of the program. She asks whether the shared experience of these sensorial losses can usher society into a greater awareness of the body’s intricacies of communication.
“Our ability to smell and taste has been noticed because it might have been lost. It has served as a daily sensory check to make sure other symptoms of COVID are not about to follow,” says O’Daniel. “When we sit back in a movie theater, will we crave someone’s cell phone to ring, or to hear the sound of the movie in the theater next door resonating through the walls? At a concert, might we want someone to spill their drink, glass shattering, everyone turning their heads at its sonic contribution?”
Hearing Aids is divided into two sessions of short video and film works in which soundtracks, voiceovers, Foley effects, pseudo-scientific tests, conversations, hidden or forgotten mics, Sign Language, forms of surveillance, voiced instructions, and structured audio cuts all function as guides for how the body of the subject or the viewer moves through the work. Spanning the 1970s to the 2010s, films by John Smith, Daria Martin, Kathrin Resetarits, Sky Hopinka, Abigail Child, Deborah Stratman, and Jenny Brady, among others, are included in the program.
The six short films in Session 1 include Jill Magid’s Trust (2004), in which the artist allows herself to be guided with her eyes closed through the streets of Liverpool, England by the police on duty, who observe her location through their monitoring of the country’s largest CCTV surveillance system. Suné Woods’ We was just talking (2017) uses constructed and found footage to explore a tactile and sensorial terrain within intimate relationships and those to the natural world while Laida Lertxundi’s Vivir para Vivir / Live to Live (2015) explores the sensations of being lost and of reaching the horizon. Sweeping views of sparsely populated mountain regions are interspersed with sensory moments like heartbeats, sound, and color patterns to probe differences between represented and embodied experiences. Together, these films construct a web of intimate connections between touch and listening, acts of following and guidance, and the seen and unseen to pose questions about accessibility and inaccessibility.
Hearing Aids: Session 1 screens daily at McEvoy Arts from May 28 through August 31, 2021. Session 2 debuts September 1 and runs through December 4, 2021. Admission is free and open to the public. O’Daniel also curates a feature-length film screening in partnership with San Francisco’s Roxie Theater, dates to be announced. Hearing Aids is the second collaboration between O’Daniel and McEvoy Arts. In 2019 McEvoy Arts presented selections from The Tuba Thieves (2013—), guest curated by Tanya Zimbardo, assistant curator of media arts at SFMOMA.
