COZIC Over to You
From 1967 to Now
This is the first museum retrospective devoted to the work of COZIC, an important but still unknown figure in the history of contemporary art in Quebec. The exhibition brings together about a 100 works made between 1967 and today, more than 20 of which challenge other senses than sight (to touch, to decode, to feel).

Doyon-Rivest
Pavlova: ephemeral artwork

Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?
The exhibition is named after a major work by Jean McEwen, which will be presented in the introduction. These existential questions focus on our identity and invite us to examine it differently.
