On the night of February 27 to 28, from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m. Admission is free!
For the upcoming seventh All-Nighter, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal presents a program revolving around the colour white.
Performance
In the foyer, the white panels of the Capture project will pick up images and electro pop music computer-generated via a white keyboard. Capture offers an ironic response to MP3 downloads: a concert so long no one can listen to it all. It was created during an SAT (Société des arts technologiques) artistic residency.
Exhibitions
Discover the fanciful, anachronistic world of Marcel Dzama, Etienne Zack's comically subversive paintings and Luanne Martineau's hybrid works.
From the Permanent Collection, Major Gifts presents seven exceptional works generously donated in the last three years, including the dresses, in shades of white, of Anselm's Kiefer's Die Frauen der Antike. Cubes, Blocks and Other Spaces, featuring a neon sculpture by Keith Sonnier, among other works, offers an alternative view of the Collection through a reading of the urban, architectural and media frameworks that dominate modern life.
Film screening
In Beverley Webster Rolph Hall, the Projections series presents Mamori, 2009, 8 min, an abstract short film directed by Karl Lemieux and produced by the National Film Board. Mamori takes its title from the place in the Amazon forest where the artist recorded various textures and transformations of light. In black and white.
Art workshop
Giant origami icebergs will be made by workshop participants. Some sculptures will become part of a collective work incorporated into the Capture installation in the museum foyer, while others can be taken home.
For all, with family or friends.
Length: 60 min.
Schedule: 7 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Ice-wine bar
Warm up with a drink of the apple ice wine Neige, produced by Face cachée de la pomme and available for purchase on the site.
On Friday, March 5, the Musée d'art contemporain is hosting We are Wolves.
We Are Wolves imposes a music that's both free and honest, like the celestial lightning on the mystic mountain. It's a post-punk landscape filled with analogue trees, like rock after the post-modern explosion. The band's third album, Invisible Violence, was released last fall in Canada and came out this month in the United States.
No reservation is required.
First come, first served!
Admission with either regular Musée ticket or our $15 Wired card.
