On May 24 & 25, 2025, a mobile exhibition of 11 artist-driven cars will tour the sprawling parking lots of Calgary/Mohkinstsis, transporting strange, subversive, and satirical artworks in a motorcade of cars.
IDLE WORSHIP is a mobile exhibition of pick-up truck performances, back-seat sculptures, and automotive installations designed in response to our car-centred city. Each vehicle becomes a micro-gallery to propel contemporary art into oft neglected corners of Calgary, including stops in all four quadrants of the city. A convoy of subversive creativity, this exhibition traverses our civic landscape as so many commuters do daily ~ but more subversive intentions. Pithy and playful, IDLE WORSHIP is equal parts community project, commentary, and intervention in plain sight.
Supported by Calgary Arts Development, with help from Community Partners EMMEDIA Gallery & Production Society, Big Kitty Magazine, and CJSW 90.9 FM 💖
