21 Swings
Spring won’t be the only thing in the air as Montreal’s musical swing exhibition returned to the Quartier des Spectacles this past weekend.

The 21 Swings (or Balançoires) installation was custom-made for the Promenade des Artistes in the Quartier des Spectacles. The work was created by Daily tous les jours, in collaboration with animal behaviourist Luc-Alain Giraldeau from UQAM and Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, the installation’s composer.
