By the end of the month, many galleries will be turning over their spaces to new artists and new shows. Here’s your list for last-chance viewing:

The Whole World Has Gone Joyously Mad at Joyce Yahouda Gallery
Until July 16, 2016
Nadine Faraj portrays women protesting a multitude of issues through nudity. Her subjects are drawn from global and local movements; many are Montreal students resisting tuition fee increases in 2012. The watercolor works on paper are blurred, creating a softness that complements naked skin but juxtaposes fighting and rage. Faraj seeks to create harmony between the works with a series of sculptures within the exhibition.

A Comfortable Indifference at Galerie Hugues Charbonneau
Until July 30, 2016
Featured artists Benoit Aquin, Isabelle Hayeur, David Lafrance and Cynthia Girard-Renard depict the environment’s wild chaos, a chaos that is both the natural disorder of tangled vines and the unnatural disaster of man’s war against the planet. Lafrance gives us the utopia of a healthy and protected environment, and Aquin documents tragedies like North America’s worst oil spill. Art and a universal problem meet in A Comfortable Indifference, ultimately depicting a desperation for action.

The Garden at Projet Pangée
Until July 30, 2016
Darby and Claire Milbrath paint like they have just woken up and are documenting a fever dream filled with forgotten childhood friends. The sisters (and Canadian art darlings–Darby is an artist in Toronto, and Claire is Editor-in-Chief of Montreal-based Editorial Magazine) grew up in a haunted mansion. This show encapsulates the whimsy and restlessness of a 10-year-old roaming an old British Columbia estate, featuring mysterious, lounging characters from the sisters’ lives and imaginations. Classical motifs and themes are explored through primitive line work and simple color palettes. Ceramics by Étienne Chartrand and Trevor Baird are also featured, similarly evoking Miss Havisham and Estella.

Summer Show 2016 at Galerie Laroche/Joncas
Until July 30, 2016 (by appointment in August)
The gallery presents the work of seven young artists: Lauren Chipeur, The Doodys, Mark Dudiak, Élise Provencher, Stefan Sollenius and Tom Watson. Of note: Chipeur’s sculptures of repurposed cardboard and art museum ceiling tile, Mark Dudiak’s multi-media approach to past and present architectural spaces, and Provencher’s existentialist papier-mâché.
