Grand Prix Intervention

/Prenez les commandes B2/ — Valérie Perron & Julie Chateauvert
Mustache Mania — Coral Short
June 6th to 8th, 2008

For the Grand Prix, La Centrale has chosen the following interventions:


/Prenez les commandes B2/
VALÉRIE PERRON & JULIE CHATEAUVERT

Friday June 6th, 11h30 to 2pm
Saturday, June 7th and Sunday June 8th, 5 to 7pm 
Saint-Laurent Blvd, between Sherbrooke and Duluth

 /Prenez les commandes B2/ ** proposes a vehicle, mounted on wheels, with an engine and a big confortable bench, that vibrates like a car...
Making an ironic statement on the heavy sexual connotation of promotional strategies and activities surrounding the Grand Prix, their giant plump and plush vibrating object will be available for passers-by to try-out. Inspired by, and manipulating seductive symbols used by the Grand Prix event, they will invite people to offer themselves pleasure, for free.
 
Valérie Perron and Julie Chateauvert like performance. Also power and beer. They live and work in Montreal.  /Prenez les commandes B2/ is their third collaboration.

Mustache Mania
CORAL SHORT

Saturday June 7th, 1 to 3 pm
Blvd Saint-Laurent, corner of Duluth

Mustache Mania is brought to you by Coral Short and her team of mustache pushers. 
"We believe in mustaches for all! Our friendly gender bending team will distribute hand made mustaches transforming the crowd slowly but surely bringing mischievousness to the streets.  We invite you to select from one of our fine staches or perhaps get one custom made especially for you." 
Short’s interactive performance art aims to put a smile on your face or at least a mustache! 
 
Coral Short has just arrived from the west coast and is excited to unleash her performance art on the unsuspecting public of Montreal once again.
