Mix: Songs To Chill To vol. 11

Françoise Sullivan’s Danse dans la neige is a series of 17 photographs that documents a performance she presented in the winter in 1948. Eight of the photographs in this series are on display in the exhibition Uncommon Language. Sullivan's performance was documented by photographer Maurice Perron and filmed by well-known Quebecois Abstract-Expressionist painter Jean-Paul Riopelle. Unfortunately, the film was lost, so these photographs are the only documents we have of this singular performance. 

"Danse dans la neige" translates in English language as “dance in the snow,” and it was a performance that engaged with nature and its seasonal cycles. Sullivan studied modern dance in New York under Martha Graham, who taught a form of dance that is celebrated for its explosive release techniques based on the breath.

In this audio clip, Stephanie Bokenfohr, Adult Programs Coordinator, describes the eight black-and-white photographs that are on view in the alcove room of the exhibition.

This described tour was produced for the Vancouver Art Gallery by Stephanie Bokenfohr, with sound design by Derek Brunen.

Founded in 1931, the Vancouver Art Gallery is recognized as one of North America’s most respected and innovative visual arts institutions. The Gallery’s innovative ground-breaking exhibitions, extensive public programs and emphasis on advancing scholarship all focus on the historical and contemporary art of British Columbia and international centres, with special attention to the accomplishments of First Nations artists and the art of the Asia Pacific region­—through the Institute of Asian Art founded in 2014. The Gallery’s programs also explore the impacts of images in the larger sphere of visual culture, design and architecture.

The Vancouver Art Gallery is a not-for-profit organization supported by its members, individual donors, corporate funders, foundations, the City of Vancouver, the Province of British Columbia through the British Columbia Arts Council, and the Canada Council for the Arts. We thank everyone for their continuing support.

The Vancouver Art Gallery is situated on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples, and is respectful of the Indigenous stewards of the land it occupies, whose rich cultures are fundamental to artistic life in Vancouver and to the work of the Gallery.
