La Nuit Blanche de Montréal / Art Souterrain presents the 3rd edition of Couture X-Press by LABoratoire Créatif.
The ever-ambitious concept in a nutshell (taken from the press release): "Designers are given the challenge of transforming existing garments into original creations before the media and general public, in 60 minutes or less! Each designer is teamed up with a hairstylist and make-up artist who follow their lead to create a new look for a model that will complement the designer’s creation. A live photo shoot follows. [...] The 3rd edition of Couture X-Press brings together a diverse mix of art forms, including music, fashion, and digital art." (Christyna Pelletier, event coordination/art direction)

I doubt many of us will be getting any kind of sleep during the city's "All Nighter", make sure to drop by Couture X-Press -- it would be nice to meet some fellow MSOMers. I'll be attending along with Descendo affiliate Julie Perreault (Vixen) who's on makeup duty for the event. Posted under Fashion, exhibition, montreal

Via Facebook event:
Narratives is an open concept meant to encourage experimentation and interpretation. Works range from the challenging of conventional narrative forms to the exploration of the narrative process. The end result is an unconventional gallery experience that places artists and designers in the same space, often blurring the lines between the two entities.
Curated by Sean Yendrys, the show consists of 14 artists and designers presenting 12 different works, ranging from photography, sculptural installations, paintings, video installations, interactive media and more.
------
VERNISSAGE: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 27th 5PM until 8PM.
there will be a live experimental turntable performance by Jackson Darby at 6PM.
the event is FREE. and everyone is encouraged to bring friends.
------
The show will be running at the prestigious Galerie Art-Mur at 5826 St-Hubert from THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26 until THURSDAY MARCH 5th. (closed on Sundays and Mondays)

Hi Jean-Aymeri,
We had the chance to talk in early january about the Canadian Centre for Architecture's Actions exhibit.
The CCA is also organizing some great, inexpensive workshops around this theme, and it all starts this saturday with a surveillance-camera walk through downtown Montreal. I thought this might interest you or your readers as it is very rare to have these kind of events in Montreal
Here is the full info (I am also attaching the poster for the entire workshop series, some very interesting ones coming up as well):
