"The Light Collector Ritual was a performance including two pieces, The Light Collector Mask and The Light Collector Vessel. This particular ritual deals with the constant carrying of light through darkness. These photos were taken by Justin Lawrence. The goal is to provide a light to help you through your journey in life. This piece was part of my last show at Guererro Gallery entitled Vessel, with each grouping consisting of a mask and a vessel.

These were later used to perform a ritual dealing with a part of my life I was working on with hopes to change and grow as a person. I always love documenting the rituals, and this photo release and video gives people a chance to own a limited edition piece which signifies a smaller part of a bigger idea." - Lucien Shapiro

ÉGRÉGORE

“By the word ÉGRÉGORE, as used by the ancient hermeticists,
I mean a group of humans endowed with a personality different
from that of the individuals forming it. Though studies on this
subject have, in the past, been either obscure or secret, I believe
it is possible to understand the conditions necessary for the formation of an égrégore. I would point out immediately that the indispensable (though not sufficient) condition lies in a powerful emotional shock.
To use the terminology of chemistry, I would say that synthesis brings about intense energetic action.”
-Pierre Mabille
from Égrégores ou la vie des civilisations

A collective consciousness, a result of powerful emotional by desires. This is Égrégore.
First introduced by Pierre Mabille, the term was reappropriated by the surrealists who charged it with strong subversive potential. French Canadian painter and poet, Claude Gauvreau then expanded upon the work of Mabille, advocating obedience to our deepest corporal needs as a means towards Égrégore. Reincarnated once more, this exhibition marks the largest group show ever hosted by Yves Laroche. Égrégore will run for the entire Fall/Winter season at Yves Laroche and is comprised of new works by a roster of lowbrow & pop surrealism’s most celebrated artists - Yves Laroche’s personal favourites.

This show is a reflection of how powerful the sum of various parts can be: a concept symbolic of this multi-faceted gallery.
