Arthur Desmarteaux & Allison Moore: Micropolis 2.0
Micropolis 2.0, an exhibition by Montréal-based collaborators Arthur Desmarteaux and Allison Moore, is an ever-expanding and evolving installation comprised of collaged screen and digital prints, evokes a busy, commercial street with pedestrians, creatures and vehicles passing by. The installation has an anthropological character inspired by the cityscapes of Québec City, Montréal and Toronto. The installation explores urban life and the relationships between people and large cities. The enchanted universe presented conveys a sense of wonder, awe and contemplation; viewers are drawn in, entering a strange dimension that evokes a childhood world filled with twisted dreams and figures.
