EN MASSE?

EN MASSE is an non—profit organizations that brings together emerging Montreal

artists to participate in an ongoing series of artistic conversations, a non-linear dialog

connecting these characters in the creation of large-scale, highly spontaneous, collaborative

black and white murals and public installations.

Since its creation in 2009, under the direction of Jason Botkin and Rupert Bottenberg,

EN MASSE has worked within diverse environments such as art institutions (Galerie

Pangée), public events (Osheaga Festival of Music and Arts, Smart Design Mart), private

contracts (l’Agence Sid Lee), and within community outreach projects (EN MASSE

@ Art Pop). As well, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is currently considering the

acquisition of an enormous EN MASSE mural for their permanent collection.

The EN MASSE Mandate is twofold; firstly to increase the visibility of new young artists,

both collectively and as individuals, and secondly, to foster community-oriented art

events and programming, built upon a specific form of collaborative interaction and

immersion between the chosen artists.
