OPEN CALL TO DISSIDENT ARTISTS In today’s highly charged political, economic, corporate and environmental climate, it’s natural that there exist a variety of viewpoints on the world and its future – yet you’d be hard pressed to get a sense of that from the Montreal art system. The volunteer founding committee of Art + Anarchy was created in 2007 in an effort to change that, to develop a yearly artistic event that would promote creators who crave change, propose fresh perspectives, tackle issues and use their art as their tool of expression, whether it be about issues of gender equality, cultural policy, world politics, environmental strategies or animal rights. After a greatly successful first edition in May 2007, which welcomed over 1,500 viewers in a single week to a loft space in Park Extension, temporarily transformed into a hub of revolutionary thought, we’re planning our second edition, Dissident Art, which will run September 5-28, 2008. The exhibition aims once again at filling a void, and giving activist artists a space to be heard. In that spirit, a portion of the exhibition space will be open to anyone who wants to exhibit a work of art exploring today’s crucial issues. What: Open call
