F R A G M E N T S
Curators: Collette Campbell-Moscrop & Noemie Bloom
F R A G M E N T S is meant to be a mosaic-like exhibition representing 35 different emerging artists from Concordia. The artists had complete conceptual freedom to present one or more artworks demonstrating their own artistic research.
All participants have rubbed shoulders in one way or another through the Faculty of Fine Arts of Concordia University. Now grouped under a new roof, the MainLine Gallery, they are reflecting on what it means to be emerging as an artist in the present moment.
The exhibited works, all special pieces of fragments, congregating together in one event, will allow us to ponder on what it means to make art today and in the future. It's to give the chance for all to stop, take a moment in time and ask, " now what? “. So many choices are now available, it is up to the artists to decide for themselves.
F R A G M E N T S wants to challenge our everyday lives, seemingly heading towards increasingly non-linear and fractional ways of existence. Events often manifest themselves differently and come together and apart in new and somewhat unsettling ways.
All these elements incite us to think further: where will we be in a year or even five?

Coming Soon
The Creator of the Universe is coming to Montréal for the first time ever! God takes the stage in the form of Montréal actor Donald Rees in An Act of God: the divinely funny, critically acclaimed Broadway hit play by David Javerbaum, in which God and His devoted angels answer the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since creation.
What if you entered an empty rehearsal hall and suddenly an audience appears? Joseph Ste-Marie brings his experimental scripted/improvised one-man show, This Show is Broken back to the stage! This remount blends the 2021 Digital Theatre production from the Montreal FRINGE Festival and the original 2015 production at the 2nd annual Shortstanding Festival. Ste-Marie must perform his show as he explores his life, struggles, missteps, and tries to show that it’s not too late to pursue your dreams…. However, Joseph is challenged to be honest with himself so his show can be authentic as possible without being blinded by ambition.
Confabulation Montreal presents: “Food Fights — Stories of family traditions, minced words and soul food.”
