MONTREAL — Concordia University is opening a new season of contemporary art exhibitions this week, bringing fresh perspectives on technology, displacement, food and artistic expression to Montreal.

The university’s galleries are launching three exhibitions as part of their 2026 fall program, with the opening events beginning September 3. The exhibitions span Concordia’s FOFA Gallery and Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery.

The program highlights how contemporary artists are using different media to examine major social and cultural questions. One featured work, If Time Could Listen by Taylor McArthur, uses augmented reality, digital tools and 3D software to explore relationships between technology and artistic experience.

Other exhibitions examine themes including displacement and food, showing the increasingly interdisciplinary direction of Montreal’s contemporary art scene.

The new season comes as Canadian galleries and universities continue creating spaces for emerging artists and experimental practices, particularly work that connects art with technology and social issues.

Concordia’s fall program gives Montreal audiences another opportunity to discover contemporary Canadian artistic voices while exploring how technology and everyday experiences are reshaping visual art.
