Residency at Engramme QUEBEC CITY

Diaries From Metropolis, Arthur Desmarteaux & Allison Moore [2010]
Artist Arthur Desmarteaux and I were recently invited for a 2 week residency at Engramme Print Studios in Quebec City. We got to stay right in the heart of the Artist community in the Centre Meduse which straddles the New and Old City. We had a Great experience meeting amazing people and got a lot of work done. 4 [22x30"] Prints and 2 [11x15"] in 10 days! I calculated I washed out 20 screens or so. Got the biceps to prove it. Big thank you to Félix LeBlanc and Diane Fournier at Engramme for all their help getting us set up. Also big thanks to Pierrette Tremblay, and a few of the volunteer members for last minute help to get our installation up! MERCI! Work in progress to prepare for exhibition next month in Calgary.

Even after an all nighter the last day, we still needed some help, last minute. Pierette helps cut out our final installation. MERCI!
