MMFA 2014: Lemieux & Pilon Dreamscapes

Michel Lemieux - Victor Pilon:

Dreamscapes 

 
30 years of innovative performances

May 1 - August 31, 2014

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, as a principal partner, is hosting the 2014 International Digital Arts Biennial and is presenting the multidisciplinary company Lemieux & Pilon 4D Art. This is a retrospective exhibition with an immersive installation which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the company founded in Montreal in 1983.

Lemieux Pilon 4D Art's speciality is performance art. They have well over thirty original productions to their credit. Their works combine theatre, film, dance, poetry, music, visual arts and sound to create original works that meet acclaim when performed.

  

The company creates hybrid shows fusing reality and virtuality, the performing arts and new media. Their productions, which employ the technology of virtual projections, erase the boundaries between performance, set design, film, video, dance, poetry, visual arts, light, music and sound exploration, promoting the integration of those diverse forms of expression.

EM15

ELEKTRA & MUTEK PRESENT EM15

May 27 - June 1, 2014

 

This year being its 15th year of its existence, the EM celebrates the crystal anniversary. EM is recognized as as a unique event within the multidisciplinary field of cutting edge contemporary digital creation, electronic music, new media and culture. The Montréal's digital arts festival Elektra, and electronic music and digital creativity institution MUTEK, have joined forces, synchronized dates and created one powerhouse combined event. This two-festival-in-one affair, christened this year EM15, showcases more than 100 Canadian and international artists in several new venues.

This year, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal opens its spaces to act as the nerve centre and main headquarters for the festival’s activities. MACM participation underlines a commitment in seeking out innovation in digital art and music, and taking risks that only non-commercial festivals can. 

Dedicated to live performance and forward thinking vision in sound and image, EM15 promises festival goers a multidimensional experience!
