Le Festival BD de Montréal installe ses chapiteaux du 15 au 17 mai 2026 afin de créer une balade BD sur 1,2 km ponctuée d'activités, d'expositions et de rencontres. Cette année le Festival a une riche programmation complètement gratuite de plus de 60 activités sous le thème VIVANTE! C'est un record de plus de 350 artistes et 190 exposantes qui sont attendues sous ses chapiteaux. Pour illustrer cette thématique et souligner notre anniversaire, nous avons choisi une figure marquante de la BD montréalaise : Julie Rocheleau! Ses affichés aux compositions dynamiques sont toujours élégantes et sensibles, avec une petite touche punk qui lui est propre.

(Re) Animating Performance: Explorations of Labour in Artistic Research and Collaboration

Time5 pm – 8 pm
WhereConcordia University, EV building, SGW downtown campus
Tags
Other
Public events take place on May 15 - 16 across spaces at Concordia University in the EV building at the SGW downtown campus. Embodied Interventions is a performance festival involving students from LePARC research cluster and beyond. This year's theme will focus on the overlapping spaces between labour and performance. The work of animation, and the animation of work: to animate a space, to be animated, animare, to give movement or life. In a cultural moment of increased automation and global upheaval, labour becomes disconnected and disembodied. Experiences of precarity and the realities of global capital touch many more of our lives; shaping the way we perform selfhood, making, and relationality. Work bleeds into life, love and leisure. Animation speaks to both the moving body as the sign of freedom, spirit, and liveliness, and to the movement of labour needed to put into motion, to make things happen, to endow matter with life. To (re)animate in this context might be to return to a politic of embodiment, to value both labour and labourer. Through social media and the digital, our relationships to performance are also changed; we take the invisible for granted and fetishize the performative. The machinations of labour are the undercurrent that animates our lives. The work of the performer becomes the work of the contemporary subject - the production of subjectivity, sociality and emotion.

At the whim of our permeable bodies offers a relational and performative experiment around the ritual of tea. The performance begins with the installation of a large table around which the audience is invited to share tea and biscuits. The artist initiates conversations on contemporary issues related to technology and intersectional feminism. Open-ended questions to guests aim to create a safe and sensitive space, leaving room for participants' feelings. In this sense, the work aims to appease fears related to technology while affirming the political power of intimate spaces.

Éditer les pratiques de soin intersectionnelles dans l’art contemporain

16 mai 2026 — 12h00 à 18h00 @ Artexte

Événement hybride — en présentiel et en ligne via Zoom



Dans le cadre de sa collaboration soutenue depuis plus de cinq ans avec Art + Féminisme, Artexte vous invite à une session de contribution sur Wikipédia et Wikidata consacrée aux pratiques de soin intersectionnelles dans l’art contemporain.

Cet édit-a-thon vise à mettre en lumière des artistes, auteur·trices et travailleur·euses culturel·les dont les démarches mobilisent des éthiques radicales du soin — entendu comme pratique politique, collective et située. Une attention particulière sera portée aux personnes sous-représentées sur Wikipédia, notamment les femmes, les personnes autochtones, noires et de couleur (PANDC), LGBTQIA2S+, en situation de handicap, migrantes ou diasporiques, dont les voix méritent de prendre toute leur place dans l’encyclopédie libre.

Aucune expérience préalable n’est requise. Tout le monde est bienvenu·e.



Déroulement de la journée

12h00 – 12h30 : Mots d’ouverture avec Amber Berson, wikipédienne, commissaire et initiatrice du projet Parallel : The History and Archives of Artist-Run Centres in Canada

12h30 — 13h00 : Atelier d’introduction à Wikipédia (débutant·es)

13h00 — 17h40 Contribution libre — Wikipédia et Wikidata

17h40 — 18h00 Discussion de clôture

Edit Intersectional Care Practices in Contemporary Art

May 16th, from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm

Hybrid event – In person and on Zoom



As part of its ongoing support for Art + Feminism, Artexte invites you to a Wikipedia and Wikidata contributive event, dedicated to editing intersectional care practices in contemporary art.

This edit-a-thon aims to highlight artists, authors, and cultural workers whose practices are rooted in radical care practices – to be understood as a political, collective and situated practice. Particular attention will be given to underrepresented groups on Wikipedia, including women, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA2S+, people with disabilities, migrants or part of the diaspora, whose voices deserve to take up space in the free encyclopedia.

No experience is needed. Everyone is welcome.



The day’s schedule

12h00 – 12h30 : Opening with Amber Berson, wikipedian, curator, and initiator of the project Parallel: The History and Archives of Artist-Run Centres in Canada.

12h30 — 13h00 : Introduction workshop (for beginners)

13h00 — 17h40 Voluntary contribution – Wikimedia and Wikidata

17h40 — 18h00 Closing discussion

Dans le cadre de constellation / Un festival anarchiste à Montréal / 14 au 20 mai 2026 / Skill Faire 17 mai 2026 10h - 17h / For anarchists & the anarchocurious / Horaire complet: constellation.mtl.net





Identifying Sources: Anarchism and Historical Research (CÉDA room 119, en français)

Through this workshop, participants will become familiar with research on the history of anarchist and anti-authoritarian communities in Quebec and Canada, as well as the spaces (both self-organized and institutional) where archives are housed. Using examples, participants will gain a better understanding of the different types of sources that can be found there and how to analyze them critically.


Protecting our Community from Airborne Disease and Other Pollution through Improvised Air Purifiers (CÉDA room 123)

Copies of Sars-Cov-2 RNA in wastewater is still quite high, indicating widespread infection.  Avian Flu could be even more severe. The ruling class is deliberately preventing clean air measures through propaganda and other means while they deploy them in their own spaces extensively. Airborne disease is being used as a tool of slow motion genocide.   We will discuss how to use what you have to make really good air purifiers, and then work together to build 2 good machines.




Surviving as an Undocumented Migrant in Montreal (CÉDA room 125)

Every year tens of thousands of migrants in Canada refuse deportation and become undocumented. There are easily hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants living in Montreal alone. With conflicts around the world and worsening Quebec and Canada border policies, these numbers are rising. Community members in this situation are outcast: they live under constant threat of detention and deportation, have no access to legal work, healthcare, post secondary education or any other social programmes, often don’t have valid ID, and are extremely vulnerable to exploitation. Survival is a daily struggle. This skillshare will offer concrete information useful both for daily survival and for building infrastructure to help transform Montreal into a Solidarity City.

The skillshare will be facilitated by members of Solidarity Across Borders, a network of migrants and allies who work together against detention and deportation and for status for all and a Solidarity City.



Being Loud Together: A Shape-Note Singing School with Nineteenth-Century Tunebooks ― with Songs from the Sacred Harp (1844) and the Anti-slavery Harp (1851) (CCGV 2.100)

Come sing! This participatory workshop introduces shape-note singing — a centuries-old communal tradition requiring zero musical experience — and traces some of its historical connections to abolitionist movements. We'll sing (loud!) together, learn a little history, and talk about music as a form of collective resistance.




Riot Medicine 101 (Parc Vinet)

Come learn the basics of street and riot medicine! Due to limited time constraints, this workshop will provide a brief, hands-on, general summary of topics such as protest types and risks, how to treat chemical weapons-related injuries, pre-protest planning, post-protest care practices, preliminary examinations, and protest evacuations.



1:00PM



Reticulum: Unstoppable Networks for the People (CÉDA room 119)

We deeply depend on corporate telecommunications and internet infrastructure for our everyday lives and projects. What if we could build our own autonomous, encrypted networks and break this dependency? For basic text communications, this dream is increasingly possible using mesh networking software called Reticulum on cheap radio hardware. Reticulum is not one network, it is a tool for building thousands of unstoppable networks.




Zine 101: The Radical History of Zine Making (CÉDA room 123)

Zine 101 is a beginner-friendly workshop that highlights how marginalized communities have historically used zines as tools for resistance and storytelling. Participants will learn basic techniques and design concepts to create their own zines as a way of telling their own stories.




Guerrilla Grafting - The Vision, The Project, The Practice (CCGV 2.100, then outside)

Guerrilla grafting is adding fruit-bearing tree branches onto public ornamental trees so that in the coming years, these street trees will produce amazing delicious free fruit (apples, pears, plums, etc.), slowly transforming our streets into food forests for all. Grafting season is NOW and we’re taking action every day. Unlike last year, this workshop will be light on theory and heavy on action. No experience needed.




How to learn to grapple: Jiu-jitsu and Self Defense (Parc Vinet)

A workshop on grappling, self defense, and how our brains and body actually learn it.




3:00PM



Create a Protest Banner (CÉDA room 119)

An art workshop on making your own protest patch or banner textiles.




Worm Moon (CÉDA room 123)

Learn to build a home worm composting station, capable of turning rotten plant matter and old paper into fresh new life. As the workshop unfolds, the worm composters as a metaphor open a larger conversations around how transformation occurs, what supports it, what inhibits it. How must we be transformed if we wish to transform our world? The worms know.




Intro to Somatics for Liberation (CCGV 2.100)

Through body-felt senses, we access more than what the reasoning mind  can hold. For many of us, this pathway has been blocked —and with it,  our agency and personal power. This workshop will introduce you to the  foundational concepts. No experience is required. We'll explore tools  and techniques you can take home. There will be gentle movement, as well  as time sitting on the floor. For intimacy within the group, note that  the doors will close after we begin.




D.I.Y sauerkraut, cheap healthy probiotics (CÉDA kitchen)

Come learn how to make sauerkraut,  and go away with a tasty jar to nourish you and your friends!



4:00PM



Collective Care & Personal Well-being when Facing an Impasse (CÉDA room 119)

Various long-standing struggles provide inspirations of drawing from our own collective experience in face of impasses encountered in our groups and beyond. This workshop will be a space for inspiration and empathy where we propose collective restoration to nurture ourselves and our collectives, drawing from the practice of building restorative systems that emerged from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. A caringly facilitated discussion in a co-created safer space.





Building Solidarity with Queer and Trans Prisoners (CÉDA room 123)

In this workshop, we'll explore what the specific challenges faced by queer and trans prisoners, how we handle them as an organization that communicates mainly through mail, and discuss strategies to support these folks, particularly in the broader context of policy changes for trans prisoners in the US and Canada.We will give participants an opportunity to sign-up on the spot to correspond with a


Leadership for Anarchists! (CÉDA room 125)

Leadership is a set of skills you don't have to learn the hard way through trial and error! In our circles, good leadership - shared, fluid, solid - is necessary to the success of our various grassroots projects and the vitality of our organizing communities. This workshop will demystify what "leadership" really means and highlight three (3) underrated core leadership skills with a bit of theory, discussion, and hands on practice. Bring your courage and your notebooks! All levels welcome.



Intro to Feminist Self-defense (CCGV 2.100, en français)

This workshop is not open to cis men (mixité choisie).

This introduction to feminist self-defense is a comprehensive session in itself, designed to explore issues of boundaries and aggression. It can also serve as a gateway to a longer program or a regular self-defense practice. This two-hour session focuses on verbal, psychological, and physical defenses. We learn to identify, articulate, and defend our boundaries. No special equipment is required.

Grafting meetup with a short ~10 minute presentation about the project followed by a march en masse to a high-traffic local park to turn theory into action. Will likely be very well attended by people with no experience at previous events with a vibe of "Look at this! Come join us!" rather than in-depth 1-on-1 instruction. There will be way more action and opportunity for learning than last year's presentation at this same festival. For those with previous experience, encouraged to come and help split up the crowd so that one group can watch what one person is doing and another can watch another person. Fresh supplies (tools, scion, etc.) will be available for anyone looking to re-stock, with no pressure to help present if you don't want to. Please come on time!

An afternoon of presentations, discussions, and anarchist theory. This year's theme is technology. Using tools and technics to extend the will is no novel concept, just ask the crow, but the tangle of a primate desire to hammer and the ever increasing number of nails is a fair bit more complicated than that of our avian fellows. Join us to dissect these desires, and discuss the various anarchist relationships to, or assessments of, technology. Give me a long enough lever and I will topple the state!... Unless it's the master's lever. Free, of course! (Donations will help cover costs) Coffee and snacks!

Join us for the launch of Chanel Sutherland's book, Layaway Child. The author will be joined for a discussion with H. Nigel Thomas. Layaway Child is a luminous debut short story collection by award-winning writer Chanel Sutherland that explores the emotional landscapes of Caribbean families fractured by migration, especially the harrowing yet resilient journeys of Black girls and women. In lyrical, linked stories, Sutherland traces the lives of mothers working abroad as housekeepers and nannies, and the children they left behind. From lush island childhoods marked by absence and community, to the cold, alienating spaces of Canadian cities, Layaway Child captures the complexity of growing up between worlds. A mother, newly arrived in Montreal, is kept from speaking to her daughters by her own mother's misguided attempt to help her let go of home. A schoolgirl becomes a spectacle under the gaze of white classmates. Sutherland brings deep compassion and sharp insight to each moment. Chanel Sutherland is a Vincentian Canadian writer who won the 2021 CBC Nonfiction Prize and the 2022 CBC Short Story Prize and was named one of CBC Books 30 Writers to Watch in 2022. She was also the overall winner of the 2025 Commonwealth Short Story Prize. H. Nigel Thomas came to Canada from St Vincent and the Grenadines in 1968 and is a retired professor of U.S. literature, author of numerous essays and fifteen books, and a co-founder of Lectures Logos Readings. His fiction focuses on queer themes, parent-child relationships in Canada and the Caribbean. He has received many awards, including the 2022 Canada Council John Molson Prize for the Arts. Masks are not required, but will be provided for free at the door. For elevator access, please contact us at least a day in advance of the event.

An evening of live electronic music : ambient-experimental-dance

Pick a Piper
Pick a Piper is a Toronto-based electronica duo consisting of longtime Caribou touring drummer Brad Weber and vocalist/songwriter Sophia Alexandra. Their music pairs catchy, ethereal vocals with warm synths, upbeat percussion, and a distinctive sense of sound design that feels both grounded and vulnerable.

Their new album, Dandelion, explores how we exist in the space between opposing feelings while calling for resilience and the courage to recognize that growth is possible and inherently beautiful, even in life’s most difficult experiences. The record employs skippy beats, bass-heavy kicks, hearty subs, hyperactive percussion, and woozy synths — all within a lovingly human-curated feel. Dandelion is out now on Toronto imprint Halocline Trance.

The duo’s live show is an intoxicating blend of vibrant physicality and immersive lights and visuals, creating an experience that is both danceable and hypnotic. Pulsing with momentum, vocally driven and haunting, it radiates a charisma that unites the band and audience in cathartic release.

Pick a Piper has toured across Europe, the US, Canada, Guatemala, and Colombia, and has shared the bill with acts such as Bonobo, Gold Panda, Blue Hawaii, Do Make Say Think, Ghetto Kumbe, Rich Aucoin, Braids, and Factory Floor.

Rejoignez-nous le jeudi 21 mai pour le vernissage de L’atout de la ville c’est qu’elle n’a jamais été parfaite.

L’exposition interroge les enjeux de la construction urbaine à travers l’approche d’Álvaro Siza à la ville, marquée par le respect et la compréhension du lieu, de sa forme, de son histoire et de son existence. Juxtaposant du matériel issu des archives de Siza, données au CCA et de la documentation en provenance de photographes, d’architectes et d’historiens gravitant autour de l’architecte et de ses projets urbains, l’exposition révèle les différentes échelles de la ville, ses textures, ses visages et sa complexité.

L’exposition sera accessible à partir de 17h. À 18h, dans le Théâtre Paul-Desmarais, Giovanna Borasi, commissaire de l’exposition, introduira le projet. La soirée se conclura par une célébration dans la maison Shaughnessy.

Le nombre de places étant limité dans le théâtre, il est recommandé de s’inscrire pour assister à la conférence.

Join us on Thursday 21 May for the opening of The fortune of the city is that it has never been perfect. The exhibition explores the challenges of urban development through Álvaro Siza’s approach to the city, characterized by respect for and an understanding of a place, its shape, its embodied history, and its life. By juxtaposing material from Siza’s archives, donated to the CCA with documentation from photographers, architects, and historians associated with the architect and his urban projects, the exhibition reveals the city’s various scales, textures, faces, and complexity.

The exhibition opens at 5pm. At 6pm in the Paul-Desmarais Theatre, Giovanna Borasi, curator of the exhibition, will present the project. The evening concludes with a celebration in the Shaughnessy House.

As space is limited in the theatre, registration is recommended if you would like to attend the lecture.

Maison des Arts Participatifs

Aux résident•es de Sainte-Marie-Saint-Jacques et ses ami•es,
Depuis les 12 ans que j’ai le privilège d’être votre députée, je relaye vos paroles, vos besoins et vos aspirations à l’Assemblée nationale. Ça été mon honneur et je vous remercie énormément pour votre confiance.
Comme vous le savez, j’ai annoncé cet automne que je ne me représenterais pas pour les prochaines élections.
Alors pour une dernière fois, je vous invite à venir me rencontrer au parc Lafontaine pour une activité très spéciale :
mon Bye-becue (BBQ) de départ.
Venez échanger avec moi autour d’un bon hot-dog, dans une ambiance décontractée.
Options végétariennes et boissons seront servies
Il y aura de la musique et bien sûr des prises de parole sur les enjeux du quartier.
RDV à la Maison des arts participatifs du Parc Lafontaine au 3819 Av. Calixa Lavallée
En cas de pluie, nous serons à l’intérieur.

Original Japanese version with English subtitles. Comedy, 2023, 126 min., dir. Masayuki Suzuki. By the screenwriter behind the Academy Award-winning film "Departures" and boasting a large all-star cast, this feel-good comedy is a love letter to Japan's bathhouses, featuring themes such as nostalgia, tradition, and inescapably changing times. Its set, a carefully crafted reconstruction of a Showa-era building, is one of the storytellers through its every detail imbued with history. Limited seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis; no reservations required.

Tensions presents a program of experimental videos articulating diverse perspectives on human interaction with technology and virtual environments. The eight selected works trace a path from the techno-utopian optimism of the post-war era to the apocalyptic disenchantment of techno-junk, exploring the frictions between surveillance, vulnerability, memory, the body, and simulacrum. This program invites reflection on how technology intertwines with our needs, values, and capabilities, and considers what it means to redefine the human scale in the digital age.

Galerie de l’UQAM
Entrée libre

Nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à un 5 à 7 convivial et festif à la Galerie de l’UQAM, alors que nous tournerons ensemble le regard vers l’année écoulée, et vers celle à venir !

Ce moment sera l’occasion de lever le voile sur la programmation 2026–2027. Certains projets sondent les dimensions extractivistes de l’exploration des territoires célestes et terrestres, allant des imaginaires spatiaux jusqu’aux profondeurs des sols. À travers des pratiques qui rejouent le passé pour éclairer le présent, les artistes et commissaires invité·e·s interrogent les récits de conquête, les mécanismes d’exploitation et les formes de résistance qui traversent nos rapports à la technologie et à la mémoire. La programmation aborde également la question de l’échec et de la chute, non pas comme verdict définitif, mais comme espace de bifurcation, de refus et de réinvention des futurs possibles. De plus, dès septembre prochain, la Petite collection prendra place dans l’espace d’accueil de la Galerie, où le public pourra découvrir une sélection d’objets d’une variété étonnante.

L’équipe de la revue Spirale sera également présente pour dévoiler en primeur la thématique de ses prochains numéros et tiendra une table de vente réunissant des numéros soigneusement sélectionnés en résonance avec la programmation de la Galerie de l’UQAM. Les personnes présentes pourront, en outre, bénéficier d'une offre exclusive d’abonnement afin d’accompagner la saison 2026-2027 de lectures stimulantes.

Célébrons ainsi l’arrivée du printemps en compagnie des artistes, commissaires et collaborateur·trice·s qui animent cette nouvelle saison !

Un verre de l’amitié sera servi.

In this workshop, we will explore the possibilities offered by cyanotype to uncover new horizons within the participants' archives. Everyone is invited to bring objects, negatives, images printed on transparent materials, fabrics, textiles, and other personal effects to create solar prints. By using the sun to produce images and texts, we resist the oppressive structures under which we collectively work and explore new possibilities in the fields of research and creation. We will recite and reclaim individual narratives within collective histories of resistance.

This performance will be presented on June 2nd (7pm), June 6th (4pm), and June 7th (3pm), all at Rockette Bar. In JUDITH, Sarah Chouinard-Poirier mobilizes, embodies, and gives voice to the figure of the living dead — this body that has been dehumanized and rendered monstrous — to expose the fear of the Other and denounce the narratives that govern the war on drugs. Drawing on references to popular culture and their own experience as an intervention and community worker, the artist delivers a multifaceted performance where zombies, cinema, humor, and theoretical underpinnings intersect in an embodied reflection on the hygienist, racist, and classist biopowers that govern substances and bodies.

The 2026 edition of the PHI residency welcomes Eva Quintas, and Spoonful of Dirt, a collective formed by Andrea Williamson and Nina Pariser. Throughout the month of June, the public is invited to discover the emerging forms of their research and to contribute to them through this exhibition, as well as during a series of free public activities. While distinct in their approaches, the works presented here converge around shared concerns: questioning the environments we inhabit and shape, assessing the effects of human constructions on a diversity of living beings, and dreaming up futures in which more equitable modes of organization might emerge. In resonance with each other, these projects reveal different ways of inhabiting, perceiving, and relating to the territories we share, while opening onto the imagination of new configurations and modes of existence.

Tags

We have learned to observe living organisms through devices designed to stabilize them: Petri dishes, incubators, monitoring screens. Within this biomedical framework, life becomes observable, isolatable and measurable. Unstable Ecologies proposes a shift. The exhibition, featuring work by Jacqueline Beaumont, Alizée Armet, and Yue Cheng, examines how the life sciences are transforming our perception of the biological realm no longer as a static entity, but as a constantly evolving relational system. Drawing on the concept of biomedia, it reveals continuities between organisms, materials, and technical infrastructures. Against a backdrop shaped by industrial legacies and the promise of technological remediation, Unstable Ecologies invites viewers to rethink the living as a shared, unstable, and evolving environment. Rather than providing answers, Unstable Ecologies invites viewers to inhabit uncertainty and to think of life as relation, process and latency.

"the experimental session" est une soirée mensuelle d'exploration sonore entre trois musicien·ne·s de la scène montréalaise. Initiée par la multi-instrumentiste et compositrice Salomé Perli, ces soirées sont une occasion unique de mettre à l'honneur la musique improvisée et expérimentée au Quai Des Brumes, reconfiguré dans un cadre intime pour l'occasion. The experimental session is a monthly evening of sound exploration between three musicians from the montreal scene. Initiated by multi-instrumentalist and composer salomé perli, these evenings are a unique opportunity to showcase improvised and experimental music at quai des brumes, reconfigured in an intimate setting for the occasion. The Montréal-based Swedish vocalist and composer Erika Angell defies categorization. Across seventeen independently produced albums and innumerable collaborations, Angell has been a poetic and audacious force in genre-defying music. Her voice has been described as "a guiding presence" (Exclaim) that "splits the difference between the divine and demonic, skillfully unhinged" (Under The Radar) and "sits alongside the greatest indie female artists who are not afraid of anything" (Le Devoir). Relocating to Montréal in 2012, her career now spans two decades, characterized by a fearless pursuit of originality, an inexhaustible desire to traverse genres, and a dedication to artistic collaboration. Angell melds musical territories from classical, rock and jazz to electronic and avant-garde and she is known foremost for her unconventional artistry with the celebrated avant-rock band Thus Owls. Her debut solo album of unreleased material was completed and expressionist works.

As part of the Unstable Ecologies exhibition at Ada X, this conference extends the questions raised by the installations on view. The works explore environments in which the living is no longer represented but presented in vivo, as a system. Through dispositifs combining sensors, microclimates, microbiomes, and computational environments, they question what it means today to work with the living rather than on it. At a time when contemporary landscapes bear the traces of past industrial activities while being saturated with technological promises of repair, a tension emerges. We inherit contaminated soils, fragile ecosystems, unstable systems — and simultaneously imaginaries of enhancement, automated regeneration, and computational solutions.

A Rope and a Wheel, A Dress and a Squeal opens with a loon calling out to a potential mate, or perhaps to the other species that appear in Molly Bertheaud's work; bird, cetacean, human and otherwise. Through painting, industrial knit tapestry and hand embroidery, Molly's work explores interspecific ways of imagining responsibility, desire, love and folly.

L’exposition, qui se déroulera du 11 juin au 23 août 2026, s’accompagne d’une riche programmation d’évènements en arts vivants avec une performance de 𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘁 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗩𝗿𝗼𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻 (Horizon Factory), en musique avec 𝗠𝘆𝗸𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗸𝗶, ainsi qu’en poésie avec une résidence d'écriture de 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗹 et de 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗿-𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲.

La Fondation Guido Molinari convie le public à redécouvrir la majestueuse œuvre 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘶 (1995) de Molinari, un polyptyque monumental faisant partie de la collection du Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Grâce à une collaboration majeure avec le MNBAQ, l’œuvre sera de retour à Montréal et exposée à la Fondation Guido Molinari trente ans après sa présentation inaugurale en 1995, dans le même espace qui fut autrefois l’atelier de l’artiste.

𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘶 est une œuvre somptueuse composée de cinq grands tableaux disposés en arc-de-cercle. Les panneaux génèrent un espace rappelant une scène qui, le temps de l’exposition à la Fondation, agira comme point de rencontre entre les arts visuels et les arts vivants, par le biais de nouvelles créations qui répondent à cette œuvre imposante.

Scaffold is a collection that seeks to anchor itself through the rituals of everyday use. Developed through local fabrication, the series places material and formal honesty at the centre of each object. Restraint shapes the collection. Forms are derived from practical requirements, and production remains intentionally straightforward. The intention is to maintain clarity of purpose and to stay close to the scale of the body and its movements. Shown In-Situ this collection aims to gather friends, family, neighbours, and community in an informal familiar setting where life can unfold alongside it.
