Manif d'art 5 - The Quebec city biennale

Curator and theme

Curator
Sylvie Fortin

Theme

Catastrophe is the ever-present backdrop to our daily lives. Through endless, hyper-visible media loops, drama is transformed into banality, a generalized state that now defines our contemporary ways of being – and yet its effects remain no less shocking or sensational. Its mysterious and dangerous beauty is immortalized in art, which reveals its role as a point of reference, much like a measure in the music of our days.
