All About Red

This book documents and analyzes the performance Red/Rojo/Rouge/Vermelho and the multimedia exhibition Silent Fall, which was a huge success at the Art Museum of the Americas of the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C. (AMA|OAS). In this context, artist Dominique Paul was invited by the Canadian Embassy to present a performance to the ambassadors of the States of the Americas during a special meeting of this organization held on March 8, where Red/Rojo/Rouge/Vermelho was embodied by five singers. Addressing themes of collective responsibility towards the environment, these works invite us to reflect more deeply on the consequences of humanity's actions and what we can still accomplish together.

"With the climate crisis growing, Dominique Paul's exhibition Silent Fall (2023) appears as a thoughtful testament to the interconnectedness of humans, non-human life, and the environment. Inspired by Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962), the artist challenges anthropocentric positions, inviting the public to become agents of change and to question their role in ecological systems."

- Ayelet Aldouby-Efraim

"The whole thing acts as a kind of transfer, an awakening, intensely communicated throughout the performance... It is possible to transform a grim situation by using joy and a playful spirit, brilliantly expanding consciousness—this is the case with Red/Rojo/Rouge/Vermelho."

- Chantal Pontbriand

Dominique Paul

Born in Montreal, Dominique Paul is a multidisciplinary artist who has been dividing her time between Longueuil and New York in recent years. She has more than twenty exhibitions and events to her credit. The exhibition Voir rouge, featuring major works created since 2012, will be presented in 2024 at the Maison de la culture Marcel Robidas in Longueuil. It follows on from several collaborative works developed in the city where she lives, including the important performance piece Déclin des animaux, created with the Jacques-Rousseau school. In 2023, a solo exhibition, Silent Fall, was dedicated to her at the Art Museum of the Americas (AMA) in Washington, D.C. She presented Red/Rojo/Rouge/Vermelho, a performance work created for a special meeting of ambassadors from the countries of the Americas at the Organization of American States.
