Located in both passenger elevators of the EV building (Faculty of Fine Arts side) the Elevator Gallery’s exhibition space is comprised solely of two small frames located near the doors inside each elevator cabin.
Proposals may be either image or text, or a combination of both. Faculty, staff, and students and alumni at Concordia University are encouraged to submit proposals that will be installed in the elevators for two week cycles throughout the fall term. A second call for proposals will be held for the winter term exhibitions.
Elevator Gallery is an initiative of Post Image, a research cluster at Concordia University’s Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology.
Vernissage:
October 5 from 12 to 1, outside the elevators on the ground floor of the EV, Fine Arts side.
