In Search of Expo 67 brings together new works by nineteen contemporary Québec and Canadian artists inspired by the most innovative, experimental and provocative dimensions of the original event, and its artistic, cultural, social and political contexts. Created in dialogue with the spirit of 1967, these works (sixteen of which are newly commissioned) highlight Expo 67’s undeniable inventiveness while challenging some of its underlying presumptions. Architecture, sound art, visual art, film and music are the poles around which this creative endeavour turns. Grounded in committed artistic and archival research, the artworks highlight the exceptional creative liberty given to the artists, architects, filmmakers and designers who took part in the original exhibition, their experimentation with state-of-the-art technology and the diverse nature of their creations. The exhibition is part of the official program celebrating the 375th anniversary of Montreal and Expo 67 – 50 Years Later.
