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.
