THE BINS WILL BE ON EXHIBIT AT
QUAI 5160 - Maison de la culture de Verdun
UNTIL JULY 25
After an initial edition on Plateau Mont-Royal in the summer of 2020, in collaboration with Fred P Corson, ATSA is pleased to once again take up the torch on behalf of the Club des Amoureux des Bacs Organiques for all the neighbourhoods of the borough of Verdun, in collaboration with Quai 5160 – Maison de la culture de Verdun!
CABO is an artistic mobilization project dealing with issues revolving around the sorting of waste. It is based on the unique relationship we have with our brown bin – one of the modern-day citizen’s best friends and an extension of our homes – here subjected to an artistic makeover, a practice that could possibly soon spread across all of Montreal!
As part of Quai 5160 – Maison de la culture de Verdun’s summer cultural programming, citizens were invited to attend on Sunday, June 19 an artistic performance by 7 artists, who each created before an audience an original work out of a brown bin. The event took place on the grounds of the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs (Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows) Church presbytery, in Verdun, from 1 to 5 p.m. As a guideline for their creation, each artist was assigned one sorrow and one dominant colour. The public was able to not only observe the artists’ creative process and the progress of the works, but also got to speak to them!
As a continuation of this artistic initiative, on Saturday, July 23 there will be a creation workshop at the same location, so that Verdun residents can have their turn at personalizing their brown bins!
Discover our 7 artists!
