Infos

Two representations : 7.30 pm & 9 pm

On the first Friday of every month, from 7 pm to 10 pm, tickets for The Harvest Season late-night opening include access to a concert by an international artist inside the Parliament of Ghosts installation. Alongside the concert, free drop-in workshops will be available in the Manufacture, as well as spotlight tours of the exhibition.  

This late-night opening at the Fondation Cartier offers a rare opportunity to experience KMRU’s immersive listening live. Informed by archives, his approach has made him one of the essential voices of contemporary ambient and experimental music. His performance activates Ibrahim Mahama’s installation Parliament of Ghosts and enters into dialogue with it: two practices of the living archive responding to one another, one through sound, the other through material.

    The Manufacture during late-night openings

    The Manufacture opens its doors to offer all audiences a space to create and experiment, whether you have a few minutes or several hours to spare. Accessible to everyone, these sessions require no prior experience—all you need is a curiosity to create. Each event highlights a specific technique, craft, or material. The graphic arts take centre stage: using backgrounds printed in risography, visitors will be able to design their own poster through various techniques such as stencilling, collage, or pattern creation.
