Three Montreal cultural hot spots have joined together to propose a walk about the city to enjoy spring weather while hopping in to view exhibits or walk beside the building to observe projections on the outside in the evening. Goethe Institute, SAT, and Centre Phi have curated the three pronged exhibition that reveals an underground subversive art scene that is ongoing where the artists create music, art, pop using new and traditional media to express points of view that are sometimes way out of the mainstream.
I visited the project in the afternoon but be mindful of the schedules:
A 3-PART PATHWAY

Admission is free, no reservation required.
The underlying concept of the exhibition, that is the object of a world tour, is not to evoke nostalgia but to review visions of the future the artists had as they used new media. One striking example of the spirit of the exhibition is the movie featured at SAT Sisters with Transistors. Young women begin creating electro music with the sound systems of their time. The prejudice against female creators stifled their popular success but did not stop them from producing moving works. Here you have two innovations, techno music and female artists daring to use the new medium.
Fashion is included in the exhibition. At the Goethe Institute a you will see samples of clothes from the 1990s, with magasines, fanzines and video installations. There are movies that reveal how black musicians created techno music and the particular struggles they went through. A 1995 sample of techno music: La Bouche: Be my lover.
ENJOY!
