Month of May sees art invade Montreal streets

MONTREAL, May 5, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - On a blank space, an artist sketches a movement, an image, a line, but above all, he takes break. In the heart of the Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie borough, artists invite you to take a break with them and make a creative contributions to their works.

This creative project brings together seven authors and three photographers with the mission of travelling to seven neighbourhoods in an effort to reinvigorate our perceptions of a modern and ever-changing Montreal. Using their urban travel notebooks, these tourist-artists will be tasked with creating a piece that situates itself somewhere between fiction and documentary. These authors and photographers will create various notes, songs, collected conversations and fictional stories: Subject matter will be presented in the form of notes, songs, collected conversations and invented stories: open and engaging storytelling is what is sought-after. The seven urban notebooks will be presented at the 16th Jamais Lu Festival taking place in May 2017. A theatrical-literary show will also be created and presented in the spring and autumn. A photographic exhibition and a published collection of the texts will round-out the project.
