A 10-day carnival freak show art exhibit is coming to Montreal next month
Halloween is right around the corner so why not get into the spooky spirit at the Humanorium.
This fair celebrates the strange and unusual and is a nod to the travelling carnivals of the 19th and 20th century.
But this carnival comes with a twist as all of its attractions are created by contemporary artists.
Take a ride on the shopping-cart carousel, check out cabinets of curiosities packed with assorted sculptures, photographs and soundscapes. And don’t miss the bone-chilling Museum of Death. It’s part travelling exhibit, part freak show and a perfect event to check out as the Halloween season kicks off!
Humanorium will feature works from the following artists:
- Le Carrousel, BGL (Quebec, CA
- Le Musée de la mort, Jack Burman (Toronto, CA)
- Le Treak show, Joan Fontcuberta (Barcelona, SP)
- La Chambre des curiosités 1, Djino Cantin (Quebec, CA)
- La Chambre des curiosités 2, Louis Fortier (Montreal, CA)
- Le Petit acousmonium, Érick d’Orion (Montreal, CA)
- Le Stand de tir, Marc Séguin (Montreal, CA)
- Sirenomena, Dgino Cantin (Québec, CA)
- Zoltar le cadavre exquis, Théâtre Rude Ingénierie (Quebec, CA)
- La Machine à vue, Eruoma Awashish and Nicolas Lévesque (Roberval / Saguenay, CA)
