F R A G M E N T S
Curators: Collette Campbell-Moscrop & Noemie Bloom
F R A G M E N T S is meant to be a mosaic-like exhibition representing 35 different emerging artists from Concordia. The artists had complete conceptual freedom to present one or more artworks demonstrating their own artistic research.
All participants have rubbed shoulders in one way or another through the Faculty of Fine Arts of Concordia University. Now grouped under a new roof, the MainLine Gallery, they are reflecting on what it means to be emerging as an artist in the present moment.
The exhibited works, all special pieces of fragments, congregating together in one event, will allow us to ponder on what it means to make art today and in the future. It's to give the chance for all to stop, take a moment in time and ask, " now what? “. So many choices are now available, it is up to the artists to decide for themselves.
F R A G M E N T S wants to challenge our everyday lives, seemingly heading towards increasingly non-linear and fractional ways of existence. Events often manifest themselves differently and come together and apart in new and somewhat unsettling ways.
All these elements incite us to think further: where will we be in a year or even five?

Coming Soon
The Montreal Clown Festival is pleased to return to its roots at the home of the St. Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival to present a cabaret of new work, “New Recipes” featuring 12 brave clowns.
Under the direction of Gabe McKinney (Director, Old God; Speigleworld; Dell-Arte graduate and guest teacher), 12 performers developed short new works for the opening night of the 4-day Clown festival after a same-day, high-stakes workshop.
"Tango in fusion est une œuvre qui combine l’art du tango avec différents styles de danse. Ceux-ci permettent de visualiser par le mouvement et la dramaturgie, certains conflits socioculturels et émotionnels auxquels nous sommes tous confrontés.
Les artistes de tango in fusion s’expriment à travers d’histoires personnelles une extase de la danse du tango dans son essence. Ce qui permet aussi avec la diversité des autres types de mouvements et musique. une connexion avec le spectateur afin de visualiser et briser différents stéréotypes socioculturels."
What if you entered an empty rehearsal hall and suddenly an audience appears? Joseph Ste-Marie brings his experimental scripted/improvised one-man show, This Show is Broken back to the stage! This remount blends the 2021 Digital Theatre production from the Montreal FRINGE Festival and the original 2015 production at the 2nd annual Shortstanding Festival. Ste-Marie must perform his show as he explores his life, struggles, missteps, and tries to show that it’s not too late to pursue your dreams…. However, Joseph is challenged to be honest with himself so his show can be authentic as possible without being blinded by ambition.
