Les Escales Improbables
On the Quays of the Old Port of Montreal, September 11 to 13, 2009
The festival Les Escales Improbables docks at our shores for a 6th edition.The festival Les Escales Improbables brings us on a journey between two poles, from the industrial world to the traditions of our ancestors, like the yin and yang of our condition as urbanites of the 21st century.
“One should always be a little improbable.” Oscar Wilde
The principle behind Les Escales Improbables is simple. You stroll down the Quays of the Old Port at your own rhythm and… you run into world renowned artists from here and abroad. These confirmed or emerging creators represent a broad spectrum of artistic disciplines. Their performances may sometimes be disconcerting, but are always moving. Stay on course:

“SMILE ON YOUR BROTHER” Premiering Summer 2009
Oil painted and ready to buy
// About the show
Conceived by Mike Giles and Annie Lam and co-curated by Bob Kronbauer of www.clubmumble.com fame, “Smile On Your Brother” , is an art show centered around the original shape of skateboards when they first hit mass production. This seemed the perfect canvas to launch the contributor campaign.
The idea behind not only the show, but also overall project is to hopefully inspire people to think about their first skateboard and what it meant to them. For many skaters, this still represents a pivotal moment in their lives, with every last little detail, fresh in their minds. Bringing together contemporary artists both in, and affected by the skateboard industry to help raise funds to go towards the first goal of Contributor which is to donate 100 skateboards to disadvantaged youth across Canada in 2009/2010
