Underwater exhibition by the Painter of the Blue, Festival Acquart, 2010. In addition to the 3 underwater exhibitions in Thetford-Mines, North Ottawa and Brockville, for AQUART 2010, in a workshop of the Aquartistes, five huge half-spheres of 4 feet by 8, were painted by the artists under the eyes and sometimes with the collective complicity of the public. Pascal Lecocq realized a new version of his “Matador”. The half-spheres have been immersed Sept. 8th in the Flintkote Quarry, Thetford-mines, QC, to be added to the permanent works which AQUART leaves at the bottom of water every year since 2008.
