Depuis plus de 100 ans, le Quartier des spectacles constitue le cœur culturel de Montréal. Il offre aujourd’hui la plus grande concentration et diversité de lieux de diffusion culturelle en Amérique du Nord, ce qui fait de Montréal une métropole culturelle incontournable dans le monde. Lieu de création exceptionnel ouvert à la diversité artistique et au métissage culturel, il est animé toute l’année par un grand nombre de festivals et d’activités, qui comportent une importante programmation extérieure gratuite.
Description
THE QUARTIER DES SPECTACLES PARTNERSHIP INVITES ARTISTS, CREATORS AND DESIGNERS TO SUBMIT THEIR PROPOSALS TO THE LUMINOTHÉRAPIE 2018-2019 COMPETITION.The aim of this multidisciplinary competition is to enhance the public space and bring it to life with a participatory work and architectural video projections on the theme of “encounters”. Drawing inspiration from the theme, multidisciplinary teams of up-and-coming or experienced designers should design an auditory, luminous and participatory work for the Place des Festivals that creates a sense of wonder both day and night as well as video projections for the two adjacent building façades. For this ninth edition, the work must encourage the public’s active participation, inviting people to move, meet, talk and have a shared experience.
From November 29, 2018 to January 27, 2019, Montrealers and visitors will be invited to enjoy Montreal’s winter in the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles by exploring the bold, immersive work presented for Luminothérapie.
THE COMPETITION
The deadline to register is August 21, 2017 at noon.
Proposals must be submitted no later than noon, Montreal time, on August 30, 2017. There is no registration fee.
The call for proposals for Luminothérapie is Quebec’s largest competition for temporary public art installations. The goal of this multidisciplinary competition is to produce an original winter-themed participatory experience in the Quartier des Spectacles and to stimulate creativity in the field of temporary public art installation activated by digital.
