Exposition Julian Montague

<p> The exhibition '' Animals &amp; Architectures '' will be shown in summer 2013. </p> <p>  </p> <p> it will present a new series of artworks ( books , posters, vynils ) on the artist's favorite theme : the links between animals and architectures. </p> <p>  </p> <p> '' Galerie ToutouChic is focused on the link between art and design. My creation is also related to these themes. I explore conceptual ideas and use the language and technic of graphism to produce artworks. To my point of view, there is a strong connection between contemporary art and graphism. </p> <p>  </p> <p> I am glad to present these creations in Metz.  I had the chance to visit the city in 2011, during a European tour. I felt at home. As in Buffalo, Metz is now receiving a new exposure in contemporary Art. I am convinced that these new artistic towns ( Buffalo to New York / Metz to Paris ) are essentials. Art has to be present everywhere. I cannot wait to show my works to French public'' </p> <p> <strong><em>Julian Montague </em></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Resume </p> <p>  </p> <p> Born in 1973 , lives and works in Buffalo USA</p> <p> Education : B.A. 1996 Media Studies, Hampshire College, Amherst, MA </p> <p>  </p> <p> solo exhibitions </p> <p> 2012</p> <p> <i>• Invertebrates &amp; Architecture, </i>SUNY Fredonia, Rockefeller Gallery, Fredonia, NY</p> <p> 2011</p> <p> <i>• Secondary Occupants Collected &amp; Observed</i>, University of Waterloo Art Gallery, Waterloo, Ontario </p> <p> 2010</p> <p> <i>• Secondary Occupants Collected &amp; Observed</i>, Black &amp; White Gallery, Brooklyn, NY</p> <p> 2009</p> <p> <i>• Insect Drawings</i>, Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo, NY</p> <p> 2008</p> <p> <i>• To Know the Spiders, </i>Black &amp; White Gallery, New York, NY</p> <p> <i>• Other Orders, </i>Albright-Knox Collector’s Gallery, Buffalo, NY</p> <p> 2007</p> <p> <i>• The Stray Shopping Cart Identification System, </i>The Light Factory, Charlotte, NC</p> <p> 2006</p> <p> <i>• The Stray Shopping Cart Identification System, </i>Black &amp; White Gallery, New York, NY</p> <p> <i>• Site Study: Scajaquada Creek, </i>Burchfield Penney Arts Center, Buffalo, NY</p> <p> 2005 </p> <p> <i>• Taxonomies, </i>Black &amp; White Gallery, Brooklyn, NY </p> <p> <i>• Cleveland &amp; Environs, </i>Spaces Gallery, Cleveland, OH </p> <p> 2004 </p> <p> <i>• The Stray Shopping Cart: An Illustrated System of Identification</i>, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, Buffalo, NY</p> <p> 2003 </p> <p> <i>• The Stray Shopping Cart: An Illustrated System of Identification, </i>Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT </p> <p> 2002 </p> <p> <i>• The Nomadic Urban Architecture of Buffalo, New York (A Taxonomy of Stray Shopping Carts), </i>Big Orbit Gallery/Soundlab, Buffalo, NY </p> <p>  </p> <p> Group Exhibitions </p> <p> 2012</p> <p> • TH&amp;B2, 270 Sherman, Hamilton, ON</p> <p> • The World According To:, Black &amp; White Gallery, Brooklyn, NY</p> <p> 2010</p> <p> <i>• Now What?</i>, Norton Museum of Art, Palm Beach FL </p> <p> <i>• Alternating Currents: Beyond/In Western New York Biennial, </i>Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo, NY </p> <p> <i>• ECHO: Sampling Visual Culture, </i>Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY</p> <p> 2009</p> <p> <i>• One Every Day</i>, Curators: Printeresting.org, Elizabeth Foundation Project Space, New York, NY</p> <p> <i>• UpArt: Rooms of Wonder</i>, curators: Chris Mitchell &amp; Barbara Gilbert, Gladstone Hotel, Toronto, ON</p> <p> <i>• Exhibition 2012+/The Drop Urban Art Infill</i>, curators: Alexandra Chang &amp; Mie Iwatsuki, New York, NY</p> <p> <i>• Ecologies of Decay</i>, Artspace, Buffalo, NY</p> <p> <i>• Commune, </i>curator: Dominique Nahas, Black &amp; White Gallery, New York, NY</p> <p> 2008</p> <p> <i>• Waste Not, Want Not, </i>Socrates Sculpture Center, Long Island City, Queens, NY</p> <p> <i>• Sprawling, </i>Shore Institute of The Contemporary Arts, Long Branch, NJ</p> <p> <i>• Site Visits</i>, curators: Ivan Jurakic, Esther E.
