KM3
August 30 – October 15, 2017
Quartier des Spectacles
Downtown Montréal, Canada
In the autumn 2017, The Quartier des Spectacles presents a new experience highlighting the new forms of temporary public art and permanent art work of the Quartier. The event features more than 20 original pieces and permanent art work, in the visual arts, digital arts, design and architecture, to be displayed outdoors on building walls, in public squares and at several unconventional sites within the Quartier des Spectacles.
The majority of the works will be created specifically for KM3. Whether participatory, immersive, playful, digital or contemplative, they will transform the way Montrealers and visitors see the city.
The KM3 temporary public art walk is driven by the vision of curators Melissa Mongiat and Mouna Andraos of Daily tous les jours. Each in its own way, the works will seek to change the way we look at the city and experience urban space. KM3 will invite viewers to explore a unique space and encourage them to imagine the city in new ways.
Inspired by the theme of neighbours, the curators designed the elements linking the various artworks and installations, giving KM3 a warm, accessible site for everyone from art enthusiasts to families and general audiences. The walk will be an interesting experience whether visitors explore it in its entirety, from east to west through the Quartier, or encounter it piecemeal during their daily routine.
