Michel Goulet is one of Montréal's foremost sculptor. He has an extensive national and international exhibition history. His work is in numerous sight specific public areas and museums of fine art. Goulet represented Canada in the 1988 Venice Biennale. This exhibition features Goulet's most recent sculptures, which exercise his unique vernacular to assemble a variety of everyday objects, redefining their common utilitarian functions by the transformation and amalgamation of their forms. On their own, each of these objects have meanings. However, Goulet has reassembled them, orchestrated them into an installation that has added new meaning to these common, recognizable objects. Goulet's work has an accessible, friendly quality about it. There is a whimsy in his statements. Nevertheless, there is an underlying seriousness about, and adherence to, the formal language of sculpture.  |
