THE EXPOSITION

OPEN MY GLADE

Open My Glade is a series of powerful videos designed to be projected onto architectural facades and advertising screens. Faced with glamorized media images, Pipilotti Rist contorts her face against the screen, as if imprisoned behind the surface, evoking the claustrophobia of the digital age and the obsession with celebrity.

By breaking the codes of media femininity, the artist transforms this performance into an act of resistance against oppressive norms.

In keeping with its commitment to public art, EXMURO presents this work in the large windows of its exhibition space, visible from Côte de la Montagne.

THEMATIC PROGRAMMING 2025

ART AT THE EDGES OF CHAOS

With its 2025 programming, EXMURO’s Aire Publique becomes a forum for bold artistic explorations of individuals and communities confronting powerful natural forces. The works of Pipilotti Rist (Switzerland), Isaac Cordal (Spain), and Martin Bureau (Québec) subvert norms and recast assumptions to confront the far-reaching forces of capitalism, patriarchy, and the climate crisis. What all three artists share are sharply critical worldviews that foster a collective awareness of the urgency to act, reminding us that in the ashes of every collapse lies a promise of renewal.
