Unlock propose trois visions d’artistes qui ont comme dénominateur commun le médium de l’iPhoneographie, une forme de photographie mobile qui s’immisce de plus en plus dans le milieu des arts. Littéralement, le titre fait référence à la fonction de dévérouillage du iPhone, mais au sens figuré, il se fait l’évocation de la liberté créatrice, si chère à l’art mobile. En troisième lieu, l’exposition Unlock repousse les frontières en collaborant avec les berlinois EyeEm, un regroupement qui fait la promotion de l’art mobile via un site web de renommée internationale. Deux artistes seront choisis par MissPixels et l’équipe d’EyeEm pour exposer leurs oeuvres à nos côtés.
Unlock. iPhoneography Montreal’s Unlock exhibition offers the visions from three artists who have iPhoneography as a common medium, a new form of mobile photography that is gradually being accepted in the evolving world of the visual arts. Literally, the title refers to the function of unlocking the iPhone, but figuratively, it is the evocation of creative freedom, so inherent to mobile art. Finally, the Unlock exhibition pushes the boundaries by working with EyeEm from Berlin, a group that promotes mobile art through a website of international reputation. Two artists will be selected by the EyeEm team and MissPixels to exhibit their work with us.
