The Palais des congrès de Montréal is pleased to announce its collaboration with LUMINO, 15th edition, a must-see free event presented by Partenariat du Quartier des spectacles from November 28, 2024 to March 9, 2025*. By partnering with the event, the Palais is affirming its commitment to showcasing Montréal’s style and personality and celebrating our city’s cultural vitality by offering a unique immersion into the magic of winter in Montréal.
For the duration of LUMINO, the Palais will be hosting Biolumen, a captivating installation by Toronto artist Radha Chaddah, created in collaboration with the architectural firm RAW Design. This riveting work is on display in front of the Palais’ emblematic colourful glass facade, at the corner of Place Jean-Paul-Riopelle and Saint-Antoine Street West.
Biolumen invites visitors to immerse themselves in a luminous and organic universe, inspired by the bioluminescent creatures that inhabit the ocean’s depths. As spectators interact with the installation, it responds by changing colours and intensity, creating a poetic and immersive experience. Designed to transform the urban space into a fairytale landscape, Biolumen creates a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere, where colourful projections and captivating melodies weave a harmonious connection between art and nature.
A flagship winter event in Montréal, LUMINO is an ideal opportunity to discover contemplative and participatory installations that dot the Quartier des spectacles and the surrounding area. The evolving program of the 15th edition brings together some 30 luminous works—some of which are being presented for the first time in North America—designed by local and international artists and
offering visitors an outdoor experience that’s both comforting and magical—right in the heart of the city. In the form of installations and video projections, they’ll warm up over a dozen downtown public sites and spaces, including Place des Arts, Place Ville Marie, Complexe Desjardins, the Palais des congrès de Montréal and the Grande Bibliothèque.
*LUMINO is a production of Partenariat du Quartier des spectacles, presented with the financial support of the City of Montréal, Tourisme Montréal and with the collaboration of its co-presenters: Place des Arts, Complexe Desjardins, Montréal centre-ville, Place Ville Marie (PVM), Palais des congrès de Montréal, SDC Quartier latin, BAnQ, Le Central, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth and UQAM.
