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.

Hibernation 2024 Themes!

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.
