Brault (Montreal), accompanied by a commissioned text by Dr. Aneta Stojnić (New York). Moving between archival research and material experimentation, the exhibition reflects on mysticism, devotional practice, self-dissolution, and the figure of the victim soul.Conceived as both a duo exhibition and a curatorial experiment, the project developed from an ongoing body of research into mysticism and the devotional object. Rather than organizing the exhibition around a fixed curatorial thesis, Brault invited Gambino and Stojnić into the research as interlocutors, allowing distinct artistic and theoretical approaches to converge around a shared set of questions. The exhibition thus operates as a space of encounter between artistic practices, archival material, and writing, with curatorial work functioning as an extension of the research itself. Inspired by research into the life of the Franco-American mystic and stigmatist Marie Rose Ferron&nbsp; ( 1902 – 1936), the exhibition considers how ordinary objects become charged through acts of devotion. Ferron's wounds were never formally recognized by the Church, and her cause for canonization was eventually suspended. The photographs and narratives that remain inhabit an unresolved space between faith, performance, pathology, and possible fabrication. Throughout the exhibition, matter becomes both the site of encounter and the obstacle to it, invested with meaning precisely because it cannot deliver what it promises. Objects solicit devotion while remaining stubbornly insufficient.

There’s no sugar in a martini; no egg whites, no rums, no shaved almonds, no fruit juice, no chocolate, and no spices. A martini is not served in a pineapple shell nor a piece of rolled up canoe bark, and there are no disgusting pieces of flotsam around the top. It is a clear, clean, cold, pure, honest drink – especially designed for people with established values and a liking for purity, even in their vices”&nbsp; - Donald G. Smith It rattles me to witness myself drunk and oozing with desire. Rejected and rambling about how I am turning into a ghost. The more I desire the more ghostly I get, the more I ooze. I look at my hands - they say they are the first to betray an aging woman. So I ramble. So I drink, So my hands dont look much different to me than they did three years ago but then again I see them every day. Used to be I could get any man to lick my foot or finger with or without honey and they’d do it. Now I betray myself every time I try to act like a lady because I am prone to tantrums like a child. “No one wants to read about how you can't find the right words To beautify your insignificant little fuckscapade in the city.”A 20 minute performance on the making of a decent martini and subsequent psychological unravellings about desire, aging and&nbsp; transformation. The performance included a staged intervention with an audience member, wine stains, and a song by Alana Myles.&nbsp; Martini Prayer was presented as part of Calliope Readings, and took place&nbsp; in August 2023. <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d8aecb71f9ce91f50ff6dcb379a4f57e9aa77816b4a1b02d541a6654ffe47a4a/DSC01618.jpg" data-mid="189857014" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d8aecb71f9ce91f50ff6dcb379a4f57e9aa77816b4a1b02d541a6654ffe47a4a/DSC01618.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/501596c5e415d9ff6018dcdad23324d0957a03a08fc598ade675f7766f76d7c9/DSC01620.jpg" data-mid="189857013" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/501596c5e415d9ff6018dcdad23324d0957a03a08fc598ade675f7766f76d7c9/DSC01620.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8d7cbf9dbb097fb5bf7d2dcf70fcda515866fa9def232ab8906b8dfb6e8b8e5e/DSC01622.jpg" data-mid="189857012" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8d7cbf9dbb097fb5bf7d2dcf70fcda515866fa9def232ab8906b8dfb6e8b8e5e/DSC01622.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/964d322094fc2af33ad001bcedf1031d67d45d5646b4aca278bd144bab449934/DSC01781.jpg" data-mid="189857011" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/964d322094fc2af33ad001bcedf1031d67d45d5646b4aca278bd144bab449934/DSC01781.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea0043f807f683ad4a4c800962b85f67f2a5ea9ecb7e8de2972b4f216efa2cf5/DSC01804.jpg" data-mid="189857010" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea0043f807f683ad4a4c800962b85f67f2a5ea9ecb7e8de2972b4f216efa2cf5/DSC01804.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/11bb5adf9a55922f2611d0892e3b24a691fa71bfd5ac6ee35ef5317b69a53d67/DSC01861.jpg" data-mid="189857009" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/11bb5adf9a55922f2611d0892e3b24a691fa71bfd5ac6ee35ef5317b69a53d67/DSC01861.jpg" /> <img width="4240" height="2832" width_o="4240" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/de9eafbbe82ac6ab1803f328274a301e01dc84f2d81adb6e325fa1065731f248/DSC01900.jpg" data-mid="189857007" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/de9eafbbe82ac6ab1803f328274a301e01dc84f2d81adb6e325fa1065731f248/DSC01900.jpg" /> <img width="2832" height="4240" width_o="2832" height_o="4240" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/635a324985291110c5952be4aa75637592c780cb3fc736c1957373a877f5b6d3/DSC01911.jpg" data-mid="189857006" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/635a324985291110c5952be4aa75637592c780cb3fc736c1957373a877f5b6d3/DSC01911.jpg" /> About Instagram Vimeo Calliope Reading Fish Tail https://marie-segolene.com/Fish-Tail Tue, 27 Jan 2026 20:55:50 +0000 mariesssegolene https://marie-segolene.com/Fish-Tail Fish Tail (2025) Western Front, Vancouver (BC)&nbsp; Developed during a three-month residency at the Matapédia train station in Quebec and the Acadian region of southeastern New Brunswick, Fish Tail is a thirty-minute one-woman show and installation. Inspired by a 1989 New York Times article recounting a fishing expedition on the Matapédia River—detailing water temperatures, shifting currents, and the challenges of catching salmon on the fly—Fish Tail is structured around three unsent letters addressed to a compulsive fisherman, the Montréal bar Le Plongeoir, and the Matapédia River. At Western Front, the epistolary narrative unfolded on a set composed of antique furniture, vintage fishing books, pheasant feathers, martini glasses, liquor bottles, a record player, fishing tackle, a dead fish, and other objects found at Western Front, creating an unsettling environment rich in symbology. Fish Tail was presented on February 20th 2025, in the Grand Lux Hall at Western Front, in Vancouver, BC.Images courtesy of Western Front The performance was made possible with support from the Government of Canada.

A knife stuck into the headboard of a cradle is said to protect a baby. As early as 1646 reference is made to a superstition of laying a knife across another piece of cutlery being a sign of witchcraft, which is probably the reason it is advised not to cross knives on a table, for fear of a quarrel. [...] Drop a knife and a man will visit, and change your luck to good or bad. [...] Last Saturday, a woman described to me the various romantic entanglements of the French nobility of the 1300s. This stemmed from a conversation on Lenoir’s miniature of Christ’s side wound, one of the striking illuminations found in the Bonne of Luxembourg, Duchess of Normandy’s prayer book. An illustration that famously resembles a cunt more than a wound. “One can pre suppose that the Duchess’s attachment to the wound might be inspired by her experience with childbirth”, she said, “while others believe it to be a sign of her own infidelities.” A few days prior a friend sat on my couch, removing a plastic cast-off of one of his feet. His heel, shattered from a fall, had recently been operated on. He insisted I look at the wound, in the process of healing. I dramatically feigned disgust. A childlike reaction - like when little kids scream at the mention of genitalia. Truthfully, I wanted to peer at the stitches. And had it not been on his foot, I would have probably wanted to press my mouth onto it.” Knife Kit was presented as part of Calliope Readings at Pangée in October 2023. <img width="1500"

me from the endless expenditure that is aging. Can't live with it, can't live without it. Enough with the rambling: we all know what it comes down to: the eerie sense of fear of the darkness of a mid day before rain, the wetness of self-abandon, the stench of an open flower nearly dying, the self assurance of a lover that grabs at your fat and throat and makes your fragility obvious like a God would.”&nbsp; A 30 minute performance incorporating poetic fragments, a collage of audio recordings,&nbsp; excerpts of dialogues&nbsp; from film scenes on love, the making of a drink, a dance with a dozen wine glasses on top of the shell of an old motorless WW Rabbit, and Savage Garden. Rabbit was presented as part of the group exhibition entitled Datura at 100 N Prospect in Youngstown, OH.

Van Gogh’s cows are two small specks of dark gray in the greenery. Like lashes. Leah calls. We talk of breastfeeding. Time scheduled around milk production.&nbsp; She asks what my relationship to milk is. I reply that I dislike it. It disgusts me. In 1967 the New Yorker published an article about Dairy Month, it is hard to tell if it is fiction or not. The blurb describes a city initiative to bring cows into Central park. We wanted to show New Yorkers how to milk em! The meadow I imagine is plentiful, because it has been home to decay. It is abundant because longing has been lost and revived, desire has been exhausted and revived. At night the temperature drops to 0, frost mushrooms back onto the young sprouts like crystals. Every past lover feeds the next.”&nbsp; excerpt from Letter, April 2023 Milk Bowl was presented as part of Calliope Readings at No Gallery in May 20203 <img width="1440" height="1800" width_o="1440" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa4124959ee12b9249e962c384386b265f38c87165ccb2fcdb4b39602b00f1c3/02457B36-F097-4A72-9902-394F27377D8E.JPG" data-mid="189857633" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa4124959ee12b9249e962c384386b265f38c87165ccb2fcdb4b39602b00f1c3/02457B36-F097-4A72-9902-394F27377D8E.JPG" /> About Instagram Vimeo Calliope Reading Fish Bucket https://marie-segolene.com/Fish-Bucket Tue, 05 Sep 2023 18:24:39 +0000 mariesssegolene https://marie-segolene.com/Fish-Bucket Fish Bucket (2022) Pangée, Montreal (Qc) “I felt myself slipping like a fish tail. Someone brought up hunting for&nbsp; mermaids to which you replied with the story of the irish selkies. You said your mom was a seal whose skin had been stolen forever attaching her to land. It keeps coming up: the movie about the mermaid that leaves water to love and be loved by men. I watched it while drunk at sunrise and the only memory that stuck was that she couldn't get the smell of the ocean off of her. If I were a sea-creature, well I guess I would have to learn how to swim first, but if I lived in the ocean I would never know the feeling of being drunk and delirious and slipping and what a shame that would be.”&nbsp; Fish Bucket was presented as part of Calliope Readings at Pangée in November 2022 <img width="826" height="1102" width_o="826" height_o="1102" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9fa8611b63288445918505233068fa39e633e23c866c40162412a623c5bf68f6/0D0B86E9-76EC-4066-A38E-B677A4990EFD.JPG" data-mid="189858535" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/826/i/9fa8611b63288445918505233068fa39e633e23c866c40162412a623c5bf68f6/0D0B86E9-76EC-4066-A38E-B677A4990EFD.JPG" /> <img width="826" height="1102" width_o="826" height_o="1102" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dd909740f7a47debb5a62df0393d60852750e3012c5f1838559cffc8bddde014/7B4F9C9D-0ED0-4AC3-BC0E-CB49FD4CAADC.JPG" data-mid="189858537" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/826/i/dd909740f7a47debb5a62df0393d60852750e3012c5f1838559cffc8bddde014/7B4F9C9D-0ED0-4AC3-BC0E-CB49FD4CAADC.JPG" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fdc5450806ea6632a0224849f14fe9ced4ca4648197a54a9e246edcf91c295df/IMG_5930-2.JPG" data-mid="189858538" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fdc5450806ea6632a0224849f14fe9ced4ca4648197a54a9e246edcf91c295df/IMG_5930-2.JPG" /> <img width="1440" height="1800" width_o="1440" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7568b549bbe8d0dad94a55f3238b4efb6aecfc257c36493080cd915da4541625/5AA9D393-001F-4187-8A49-940CB38A6030.JPG" data-mid="189858536" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7568b549bbe8d0dad94a55f3238b4efb6aecfc257c36493080cd915da4541625/5AA9D393-001F-4187-8A49-940CB38A6030.JPG" /> About Instagram Vimeo Calliope Reading
