Pop Montreal: Fort Miracle

Frédéric Chabot (aka Doublemots / Mathieu Connery) is interested in visual arts and more particularly in urban intervention, through the creation of micro-events (painting and urban art production). He works particularly texture, color, line, mass, depth. His work metaphorically attempts to synthesize the history of art by including modern, contemporary, urban, media and electronic art. With the collaboration of Zosen and Mader

Michel Simonsen often performed solo as an interpreter of his own creations during cabarets of poetry and performances. Michel is also interested in urban spaces that are solid. Places or things built by the hands of men but which, with time, have lost their raison d'être, seemingly forgotten or unused. Among other projects, he is currently producing a documentary about a huge abandoned brewery in downtown Montreal.

Francisco Garcia is a street artist from Montreal and a future filmmaker. After working in animation, cinema, 3D animation, as a jockey disc and in electronic music production, he is now interested in video. He is known recently for his "portraits" in the Mile End and for the installation of two Ron English bulletin boards. Although he has many creations in the streets of Montreal, he continues to explore various forms of artistic expression.

Fort Miracle is a project resulting from a side project for Graham Van Pelt, best known for his participation in the band Miracle Fortress whose album Five Roses competed at the Polaris Music Prizes. Fort Miracle is a solo tour de force where performances of recordings and error backups are performed in the studio. The mistakes have never been so exquisite! Pop Collaboration Montreal
