Event description
The history of Corridart comes back to life in images and memories. Meet the artists Siris and Marc Tessier at the launch of their new graphic novel novel inspired by an important chapter in Montréal’s cultural history.
The exhibition that inspired the graphic novel
The MEM will be hosting the launch of Corridart : un diamant emballé dans du papier journal, a graphic novel by Siris and Marc Tessier. This activity is part of the exhibition Corridart: The Exhibition That Vanished Overnight, which revisits the destruction of this major public art exhibition in Montréal in 1976.
Meet the artists behind the project
With Siris and Marc Tessier in attendance, get a behind-the-scenes peek at the creation of this work, which revisits the history of Corridart through the language of graphic novels. It’s a great opportunity to chat with artists who create conversations between memory, art and visual narrative.
