What’s up Vienna! What’s up Montréal! is a cross-cultural event series and multimedia festival that connects Vienna and Montréal as vibrant centres of experimental music, sound art, performance, film and video. The series, which was first held in 2010, is curated by Michaela Grill, Christof Kurzmann and Steve Bates and brings together artists from both cities to explore new artistic concepts and interdisciplinary working methods. The focus is on cross-border artistic encounters: the participating positions demonstrate the diversity and independence of their experimental approaches by performing together, collaborating and developing innovative formats. Projects and performances range from audiovisual experiments to performative interventions that make local scenes visible and promote international networking. The series offers participating artists the opportunity to initiate longer-term collaborations and explore creative potential beyond established conventions.
