The bilingual catalogue Drinkers of Quintessences was produced in conjunction with the eponym group exhibition presented at the Darling Foundry in spring 2018 and at the Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain in winter 2019. Bringing together the work of twelve Canadian and European artists to explore the concept of emptiness in art, the exhibition represents a landmark in the history of the Darling Foundry. Richly illustrated, the publication documents the works of Fortner Anderson, Steve Bates, Marie- Claire Blais, Olivia Boudreau, Claude Closky, Marie Cool Fabio Balducci, Alexandre David, Adriana Disman, Kitty Kraus, Stéphane La Rue, Kelly Mark, and János Sugár. It is also a site for new insights, thanks to texts by the curator Caroline Andrieux, art historian Thierry Davila, and artist and poet Fortner Anderson.
