Agora: David Altmejd @ Galerie de l’UQAM, Montreal

This fall, Galerie de l’UQAM invites visitors to the highly-anticipated exhibition by UQAM alumnus David Altmejd. Work by this internationally renowned sculptor will be presented in Montreal for the first time in ten years. Curated by Louise Déry, Director of Galerie de l’UQAM, the exhibition David Altmejd. Agora unites almost thirty heads and busts, which are emblematic of the artist’s sculptural practice and were made between 1999 and 2025. Forming a remarkable assembly of mythological and real characters, spiritual and terrestrial figures, as well as human and non-human creatures, this body of work reveals the extent to which Altmejd brings about a metamorphosis of the living, induced by creative and unconscious forces, to construct a world.
