Festival MURAL du 4 au 14 juin sur le boulevard Saint-Laurent, entre Laurier et Sherbrooke

Multisatures en vestiges is Mathieu Lacroix's second solo exhibition with McBride Contemporain. This exhibition brings together a new series of drawings on recycled paper and hybrid installation techniques, the exhibition reflects on the monumental presence of discarded objects in everyday life. Abandoned furniture, empty boxes, and other residual items that persist within our environments even as they disappear from collective attention, simultaneously occupying space while remaining overlooked by the collective gaze.

Ceremony is a presentation of the recent painting and drawing works of Alexei Kolakis-Landon and Tomas Dessureault, curated by Thomas-Antoine Girard. Together, the two artists envision painting as a site where gesture, material, and colour come together to create a lived aesthetic experience not solely contained to the canvas.

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.
