CIVILITÉS / CIVILITIES
Agence TOPO presents a new web collective fiction
with 10 Montreal artists
http://www.AgenceTopo.qc.ca/civilites
Civilities is a modular, collective fiction that brings together ten
Montreal artists from a range of disciplines and backgrounds who offer
diverse perspectives on "living together."
The invited artists explore potential spaces of confidence, reconciliation
and the cohabitation of persons, peoples and religions. >From the rules of
religious fundamentalisms to the movements of anonymous crowds in the city,
the projects examine various aspects of social organization, cultural norms
and the collective spaces of shared practices. Working from interfaces
representing public space, that of the community and of civitas, small
stories emerge like windows onto more universal situations, onto a certain
state of the world, somber and violent indeed.
Civilités is a production of Agence TOPO, directed by Eva Quintas and
designed by Guy Asselin. The invited artists come from the fields of visual
arts, theater, audio creation, writing and performance : Mathieu Beauséjour,
Pascal Contamine, Nathalie Dion, Linda Hammond, Isabelle Hayeur, Norman
Nawrocki, Lisa Ndejuru, Eva Quintas, Jean-Sébastien Roux, Cesar Saëz.
