| GUY BÉRUBÉ Guy Bérubé is owner, director and curator of La Petite Mort gallery. Guy's vision for the gallery is a vision of social ethics. He sees the artist's struggle with self-awareness through visual art reflected back to the viewer. The viewer is understood as an active participant in the creative endeavor, and not simply a passive recipient. A signature feature of LPM is the feeling of discomfort that many of the artworks evoke. As one of the goals of subversive art, this feeling reflects the viewer's engagement with their own personal projections. Discomfort is a necessary part of Bérubé's aesthetic and ethical sensibility. It recognizes the role of art in alienation and in critical transformation: cultural progress usually occurs through the ideas that emerge at the boundaries of our communities. LPM artists represent subjects at the margins of contemporary Canadian urban society, a trend that has a long history in artistic expression. Bérubé provides an inclusive forum for contemporary Canadian artists, including those typically sidelined by mainstream society and those simply unable to function normally within it. |
