Aller et Venir, mixed media assemblage by Matthew Thomson

Aller et Venir is a mixed media assemblage built inside of a reliquary box. The piece is made of found objects from the cityscape held together by paint, ground cement dust paint applied on cardboard, antiqued gold leaf on cardboard, a painted polyurethane glue form resembling a sarcophagus and two digital prints of doors from the cityscape.

The work "Aller et Venir" is currently being transformed into "Aller et Venir, Part Two". The art-piece has been separated into two new entities, the first being the frame of the box that is being used to project a video of the transformation of the original piece onto and the second which is the end result of the transformation. What constitutes the transformation is a performance lasting two hours where the elements of the lower portion of the box (found objects covered in blue paint) were taken apart and reassembled into a golem-like character who is surfing through a black body of water. The performance was recorded by video. The video displays a sped-up version of the performance as well as appearances from people placed into the top portion of the box, in the areas where the two doors are situated. The actors are performing everyday activities inside these spaces, like siting down and reading a book, walking, talking on a cell phone and waiting for someone at the door.

Matthew Thomson Born in 1982 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Holds a DEP in Illustration and Design from Dawson College (1999-2002) and a Bachelors in Studio Arts from Concordia University (2002-2006). Mr. Thomson worked for two years as a restoration woodworker in Montreal, Quebec, namely in the Shaughnessy Village (2008-2010) and is currently enrolled as a Master in Print Media at Concordia University (MFA).

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Recyclingplant!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.
