Luminothérapie: Experience Winter in a Whole New Light

From November 28, 2019 to January 26, 2020, Montrealers and visitors will be invited will be invited to enjoy Montreal’s winter in the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles by exploring the bold, immersive work presented for Luminothérapie.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY COMPETITION AIMING AT THE DEVELOPMENT AND ANIMATION OF THE PUBLIC PLACE BY THE CREATION OF A PARTICIPATIVE WORK AND ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTIONS ON THE THEME OF CELEBRATION.

The Quartier des Spectacles Partnership opens its call for submissions for the Luminothérapie 2019-20 competition marking the initiative’s tenth annual edition. Its objective is to, as much, offer to the Montrealers an original and participative winter experience at the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles, as to stimulate the creativity in the field of the temporary public art installations activated by digital technology.

Creators from all disciplines are invited to explore the theme of celebration!

To mark the first ten years of the winter event, up-and-coming and established creators are invited to imagine an auditory, luminous and participatory installation for the Place des Festivals, freely inspired by the theme of celebration. Participants must also propose architectural projections for two nearby buildings: UQAM’s Président-Kennedy building and the Wilder Building – Espace danse.

The primary work must inspire a sense of wonder both day and night and encourage active public participation, encouraging people to move, meet, talk and have a shared experience in a festive setting.
