5 Out of 6 Machines – Peter Trosztmer
Start Date: Mon 03 Jun, 2013 - End Date:Thu 06 Jun, 2013 - Artistic Events
Monday, June 3rd & Thursday, 6th at 2.45 p.m & Wednesday, 5th at 6 p.m. @ 141 rue Anne (Griffintown)
Presented by Studio 303 as part of the SPARK STUDIO SERIES.
5 out of 6 Machines is a performance/Installation/immersive environment inspired by the six basic machines – the wheel, the pulley, the incline plane, the wedge, the lever and the screw. Drawing on his passions for architecture, physical performance and manual construction, Peter Trosztmer has taken over a remarkable site where 100 years ago, coal was burned to create steam that was piped out to heat and power the Montreal downtown core. Today, it is an archeological site for human innovation in Griffintown, a central yet hidden industrial neighbourhood rich in its history and heritage. Created from objects found on site, the work is a symbiosis of environment, process and collaboration.
In collaboration with Jeremy Gordaneer.
Tickets: $15 fair-trade/$12 reg./$10 students, RQD, RAIQ
