About (truncated)

Diagonale is a unique in Canada: it defends and broadcasts contemporary artistic practices using fibers as a subject matter or material. The Center was born from a Council once focused exclusively on fiber arts but has progressively opened itself to include a wider array of practices. Diagonale supports the realization of innovative practices and activities which renew and reinterpret techniques of needle work, basketry and paper-making as well as multimedia installations, performances, photography, video art, ect.

Our yearly programming consists of six exhibits. The reflections are strong and varied; the uses of techniques are surprising and often interdisciplinary. The projects exhibited are selected by a jury of our members and peers.

The Center is meant to be a place of dialogue. Conferences and artist talks are held regularly and publications are occasionally instigated.
