francesca tallone is a montreal-based photographer and curator. She has both exhibited in and curated shows in North America and Europe, and has been featured in Surface Magazine, ANTLER, PLAID, Lines & Shapes and Films & Grains. She has recently published a small book of photographs called “Myth Of The Flat Earth”, which will be available at Citizen Vintage for the duration of the exhibition. 

For the display at Citizen Vintage, francesca will create a stark, minimal winter scene to the windows using photographs, fabric and found objects, all while keeping the warm and nostalgic feeling of the shop. With the display being various shades of white, the colors, patterns and layers of the clothing will stand out, giving the environment on the whole a rich and inviting texture.

Future projects for francesca include curating the Nuit Blanche exhibit at le Cagibi in February.

The art of window dressing

Lace, lights and latticework snowflakes. Abstract photographs in shades of white. And a mannequin in a warm shearling coat. All part of the winter installation launched last week in the windows of Citizen Vintage, a second-hand clothing and accessories store on St. Laurent Blvd. in the Mile End.

Francesca Tallone, a Montrealbased fine arts photographer and friend of co-owner Brooke Doyle, was given carte blanche to design the window. “I knew wanted to do something simple and minimal,” says Tallone, “but still eloquent and beautiful.”

A multi-textural depiction of snow includes lace draped at the foot of the mannequins, and white Christmas lights and disco balls represent the glittering snow. Abstract photos are of a snow bank that Tallone shot on the East River in New York during a blizzard.

“Being able to style the mannequins and incorporate my photography, and with winter being somewhat of a beautiful and calm season, it all came together.”
