DAILY TOUS LES JOURS
AT THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA

Daily Tous Les Jours, Chœur Spaghetti | Musée des beaux-arts du Canada
Melissa Mongiat took part in the 2009 Montreal Biennale with an interactive installation, La Conspiration du Bien. This work unfolded along Saint-Laurent Boulevard and within the former École Bourget, on De la Montagne Street, which served as the headquarters for that year’s BNL MTL.
Curator: Claude Gosselin (https://ciac.ca/documents/BNL-MTL/2009/fr/melissa-mongiat.html).
The installation invited citizens to become active participants, engaging as “conspirators” by sharing messages of hope. Melissa Mongiat sought to instill an essential optimism in her hometown. We have fond memories of this piece, which garnered widespread public engagement.
Since the formation of Daily Tous Les Jours in 2010, their large-scale international projects have cultivated this playful and dynamic approach to public spaces. Their installations offer individuals the opportunity to inhabit these contested areas with hope.
