Montreal has become a hotbed for creative productions, both musical and visual. So it makes sense that the city is the only Canadian venue to host “Sympathy for the Devil” a show that explores the connections between avant-garde art and rock music.

In his latest video, artist Jubal Brown shows there’s nothing more shocking, or more banal, than war’s prevalence in our culture. As always, he runs a risk of undermining the art with his own visual aggression. But at least he doesn’t just change the channel.

Antwerp-based artist David Claerbout’s first solo exhibition in Canada plays with our sense of time and duration, of beginning and ending. The result is a thoughtful meditation on the way the hours pass us by, whether we realize it or not.
