Sorel Cohen, Métaphores conceptuelle
Centre d’art et de diffusion Clark, Montréal
From November 18 2021 to February 19 2022

— Johanne Sloan

A result of the sustained commitment by an artist-run centre (VOX) to historical art, this retrospective was inspiring, as it performed a service that, “in an ideal world, would also be undertaken by the city’s museums,” deems Johanne Sloan. The exhibition highlighted Sorel Cohen’s attraction to conceptual and feminist art captured through photography and performance. Sloan notes the everyday as one of Cohen’s important conceptual tropes and the recurrence of fabrics in her images, playing a role similar to that in the works of Japanese artist On Kawara: “Cohen’s work differs in its reference to gender-specific domestic labour, but both artists are concerned with temporality and the gestures that punctuate daily life.”
