MINIGOLF BELLEVILLE PLAISIRS
FROM JUNE 21 TO SEPTEMBER 1, 2025
EXHIBITION
MINIGOLF BELLEVILLE PLAISIRS
Ateliers Belleville (LAB-545) and EXMURO are pleased to present Minigolf Belleville Plaisirs. What happens when artists take over everyone’s favourite kitschy game of skill? To find out, more than 20 Quebec-based artists rose to the challenge of imagining a full 18-hole mini golf course fitted out with whimsical, improbable hazards. Their installations reinvent the mini golf experience with fantastical worlds, sensory awakenings, wacky interactions, and unexpected combinations of materials and objects.
Conceived as a gateway to contemporary art, this mini golf course combines the precision of sports with the creativity of contemporary art in an accessible, playful approach that opens up a space of discovery to one and all. The installations are each as unique as the next, and are designed to provide golfers with distinctive experiences. Each new hole provokes a range of reactions: frustration at the impossibility of certain obstacles, amazement at the course’s complexity, and moments of shared joy at the pleasure of playing.
THE ARTISTS
Ludovic Boney, Pénélope & Chloë, Sabrina Ratté, Mara Eagle, Niti Marcelle Mueth et Wolfe Girardin Jodoin, Asa Perlman et Gabriel Scott-Séguin, Ahreum Lee, Marie-Claude Lepiez et Jacinthe Loranger, Jean Couteau, Jean-Pierre Gauthier, Mathieu Lacroix, Alexandre Burton et Ariane Plante, Sarah Wendt et Pascal Dufaux, Ingrid Bachmann et Shelley Ouellet, Pavitra Wickramasinghe, Nina Bouchard et Nick Everett, Cooke-Sasseville.
