As such\, one can place Lefevre in a tradition Pierre-Michel Menger has called the ‟mocking and ironic avant-garde\,” an avant-garde tradition descended from Dada and Marcel Duchamp—Schwitters\, Cage\, Warhol\, Damien Hirst. Thumbing their noses at a classical tradition that conceived art as a privileged means of elevating oneself above the banal\, these artists delighted in reducing art to the level of triviality\, in exposing it to the worst degradations.”\n(Fabien Loszach)\nPhoto by Chieu-Anh Le Van URL:https://www.jdicseniors.ca/event/mathieu-lefevre-irony-as-method/ LOCATION:The Centre\, 10052-117 St. NW\, Edmonton\, Alberta\, T5K 1X2\, Canada CATEGORIES:Special Events & Presentations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.jdicseniors.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/13cb9fe9-a70e-47f9-bd09-96a42f12f690.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="JDIC":MAILTO:programmer@jdicseniors.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20250826T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20250826T130000 DTSTAMP:20260509T155622 CREATED:20250228T230709Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250228T230709Z UID:10004203-1756209600-1756213200@www.jdicseniors.ca SUMMARY:Birthday Tuesdays DESCRIPTION:Every last Tuesday of the month join us to celebrate your friends’ birthdays with music\, special lunch and fun!
