Manif d'art 2 - The Quebec city biennale

Curator and theme

Curator
Bernard Lamarche

Theme
What is happiness? Though widely studied and debated, the question remains unanswered. Indeed, can it ever be defined by just one truth? Art as an enterprise, like individuals, does its best to uncover a single meaning for this complex concept. However, unlike people, art imagines and shares its reflections on happiness using sets of tangible signs to fuel our collective imagination and foster self-examination.
