Corridart on the Big Screen: A Story of Art Censorship

Explore the Corridart affair through an exhibition and two documentary screenings by multidisciplinary artist Bob McKenna. Dismantled during the night of July 13, 1976, the open-air art exhibition presented on Sherbrooke Street became one of the most significant episodes of artistic censorship in Québec. From 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., the public is invited to visit the temporary exhibition Corridart: The Exhibition That Disappeared Overnight, presented on the MEM’s Clotheslines. Screenings take place at 7:00 p.m.: À propos de l’affaire Corridart (2002) on Thursday, May 21, and the premiere of the new documentary Creativity Is Freedom on Friday, May 22. Each screening will be followed by a discussion.
