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.
Civilites 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 Beausejour, Pascal Contamine, Nathalie Dion, Linda Hammond, Isabelle Hayeur, Norman Nawrocki, Lisa Ndejuru, Eva Quintas, Jean-Sebastien Roux, Cesar Saëz.
