Current Exhibition

MICROPOLIS by Allison Moore and Arthur Desmarteaux

The Artist Proof Gallery is pleased to present Montreal artistic duo Allison Moore and Arthur Desmarteaux’s playful collaborative exhibition, Micropolis.

Featuring uncanny characters and mythological creatures who exist as hybrids of fantasy and reality, Moore and Desmarteaux’s mixed media installation creates a fantastical urban space for visitors to discover within the gallery. Exploring themes of microbiology, mutation, perception and urbanity, Micropolis creates an assimilated reality that is simultaneously amusing and insightful, familiar and strange, real and imagined.

July 7 – 31, 2010

Opening Reception: Friday, July 16,  6:30 – 8:30 pm

The artists will be in attendance at the opening reception.
