WE’RE ALL FRIENDS HERE

A work by Sam Meech en collaboration avec Marilène Gaudet

This series of collaborative works is a testament to the experiences of people who live in downtown Montreal, and a critique of the role of the arts in a changing urban environment. The residents’ ideas and reactions are recorded and represented as a jacquard knit. Members of the public can participate by leaving their own messages using a phone booth or by taking part in a reactive knitted wave in Place de la Paix.

Presented from October 1^st to 18, 2015, at Place de la Paix and Centre de design de l’UQAM, as part of the project Common Space ?.
