The Rock and the Stone – an exhibition by Louis-Charles Dionne at CBU Art Gallery

Sydney & Area

Oct 17 – Feb 6

À propos

“The rock is the initial object,” says Louis-Charles Dionne. “It is the boulder I collected on the site of the abandoned quarry in Marble Mountain. There, scars of industry linger on the bank of the Bras d’Or Lake. The stone is the substance. It is the material that is imbued (or not) with value and prestige deriving from distinctive qualities—a colour or a veining pattern for example—that are tied to specific geological conditions and connect the stone to the location where it was extracted.”

Louis-Charles Dionne is a Canadian artist and educator based in Tiohtià:ke [Montréal], Quebec and K’jipuktuk [Halifax], Nova Scotia. His work has been presented across Canada in various venues and ephemeral public art events. Rooted in a vocabulary of low-interest objects that he repositions to challenge notions of function, affordance, and value, Dionne’s practice is anchored in sculpture, installation and public art. It is the non-heroic and anti-climactic experience that he is interested in.
Dionne is currently a sessional faculty in Art History and Contemporary Culture (Art Education) at NSCAD University, and a part-time faculty in Sculpture (Fine Arts) at Concordia University.
The Rock and the Stone is on display until February 6, 2026.
