EMERGE
Information on the activity
Dates to come
From November 19 to November 23, 2019.
EMERGE is an event dedicated to contemporary performance that brings together ten of the most important Canadian and European artists in the discipline.
The most complete gathering of performance art ever mounted at the MAC, EMERGE will offer a stimulating encounter among theatre, visual arts, and body art, highlighting the pluridisciplinary nature of the most tantalizing current practices. A series of panels and lectures will accompany the event to complement the program of works presented.
Organized by Chantal Pontbriand and echoing the performance program, workshops punctuated by conferences and exchanges will be held during the week. On the last day, Saturday, a forum will bring together the public, artists, curators, art critics, and theorists from here and abroad. The forum will be an opportunity to share thoughts on current events and issues pertaining to performance art.
Artists: Daina Ashbee (Canada), Uriel Barthélémi & Entissar Al Hamdany (France), Marie-Caroline Hominal (Switzerland), Dana Michel (Canada), Didier Morelli (Canada), Bridget Moser (Canada), Marthe Ramm Fortun (Norway), Maria Salgado (Spain), PPKK (Sarah Ancelle Schoenfeld and Louis-Philippe Scoufaras) (Germany), Marinella Senatore (Italy).
Curators: Mehdi Brit and Mark Lanctôt
Coordinator: Anne-Léonie Auer and Marjolaine Labelle
