IDLE WORSHIP 2025: a mobile exhibition
IDLE WORSHIP 2025 was a tongue-in-cheek subversion of Calgary’s car-obsessed culture, responding to the prevalence of personal vehicles by reclaiming these paved places for people, art, and ideas. A convoy of subversive creativity, IDLE WORSHIP traversed our civic landscape as so many commuters do daily ~ but more subversive intentions. Pithy and playful, IDLE WORSHIP is equal parts community project, commentary, and intervention in plain sight.
IDLE WORSHIP 2025: artists & route
On May 24 & 25, 2025, a mobile exhibition of 11 artist-driven cars will tour the sprawling parking lots of Calgary/Mohkinstsis, transporting strange, subversive, and satirical artworks in a motorcade of cars. IDLE WORSHIP features pick-up truck performances, back-seat sculptures, and automotive installations designed in response to our car-centred city, featuring an all-star cast of local artists.

We’re delighted to share the themes of our 6th Annual Hibernation Project! We’re beginning with a feast and ending with a LIVE public access TV broadcast, and covering pretty much everything in between. This year features a Hibernation-in-Residence at cSPACE Eau Claire, and an offsite Fire Residency at Empire of Dirt in Creston, BC! We hope you’ll join us for another year of experiments, snowy day projects, and the dreams of we who wake to sleep.

IDLE WORSHIP: mobile exhibition
In late September, 8 artist-driven cars became moving micro-galleries, welcoming visitors to experience a series of strange, immersive, whimsical, playful, absurd, and satirical artworks – each tucked inside its own automobile. Traveling in a law-abiding motorcade, IDLE WORSHIP responded to Alberta’s car-centric culture in a slow rally from familiar place to place – traversing the Calgary landscape as so many commuters do daily, but with an utterly different intention. Pithy and playful, IDLE WORSHIP was equal parts community project, commentary, and intervention in plain sight.
IDLE WORSHIP
IDLE WORSHIP is a mobile exhibition of art and performance in cars touring across the parking lots of the greater Calgary / Mohkinstsis area on Sept 24 and 25, 2022. Intended to subvert the car-centric culture of Alberta and utilize the “non-site site” of the car interior, IDLE WORSHIP is part community project, commentary, and intervention in plain sight.
IDLE WORSHIP is a spinoff of The Hibernation Project.

All participants were artists in this bizarre and delightful happening, so instead of naming artists, we’re airing on the side of anonymity. Thanks to all the folks who traveled Jett’s Way Airlines!
