Invitation | Elena Lee Pioneer Gallerist on April 25
The Espace VERRE team is pleased to invite you to the screening of the documentary Elena Lee Pioneer Gallerist, in the presence of Elena Lee and Danièle Bellemarre Lee, on April 25 at 6 p.m., in the conference room.
Elena Lee’s determination, sincerity and passion successfully led her to follow her dreams. This documentary is a tribute to a gallerist who devoted her life to the development of Canadian glass art. She made it her mission to gain recognition for this little-known art form as a contemporary art and enable Canadian artists to propel themselves onto the international art scene. Much like an artist for his work, she gave this mission all of her energy and passion. Elena Lee brings to light the reality and challenges of a gallerist’s work with great openness. When she started in Montreal, she was initially perceived as naive and eccentric but her profound convictions and modesty established her as a leading figure in her field. Elena stands by her choices. She does not aim to please but rather to promote and shed light on her artists. Dark times revealed the inner strength of this pioneering woman. This portrait of her work invites others to venture beyond their comfort zone. For Elena there are no regrets; only learning opportunities. The documentary was produced, directed and edited by Danièle Bellemare Lee.
