The 18th Max and Iris Stern International Symposium, presented by the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, is titled "Connexions années 1980: l'internationalisation de l'art au Québec (1975-1992)". It takes place at Usine C in Montreal from October 29 to 31, 2026.
The symposium looks at the 1980s as a turning point, when various networks enabled a decisive internationalization of Quebec art.
The programme includes an opening event and six panels, organized in collaboration with Spirale magazine. Figures who shaped this fertile artistic decade will exchange with later generations, who offer new ways to rethink its legacy.
