The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC) is proud to present the team that will curate the opening exhibition of the new museum, scheduled for 2028. This team will bring together three curators from the MAC along with three guest curators, working under the direction of Audrey Genois, the MAC’s Director of Curatorial Affairs. Katsitsanoron Dumoulin-Bush, Joséphine Denis and Valentine Umansky will join MAC curators Mojeanne Behzadi, Mark Lanctôt and François LeTourneux. Read their biographies here.
The creation of this curatorial team marks a key milestone for the MAC, as the museum begins to realign its activities in anticipation of return of its teams and collection to the new building, and the preparation of the opening program. Within this context, the inaugural exhibition will offer a perspective on some of the most compelling practices on the current artistic scene in Quebec and the multigenerational exchanges that characterise it, by placing a selection of flagship pieces from the collection in dialogue with the more recent works.
“By creating this team, we affirm our commitment to multiplying our perspectives and offer, from the museum’s opening day and beyond, an open, rich and representative curatorial framework for contemporary creation.” —Audrey Genois, Director of Curatorial Affairs, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal
