SUMMARY:Guided Visit: Hyperrealism – This Is Not a Body at the MNBAQ
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec for a guided visit of Hyperrealism – This Is Not a Body\n\nPhoto source: MNBAQ\, David Cannon\n  \nWhen: August 26 at 5:30 PM \nWhere: Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec \nOpen to all – Whether you’re an art lover\, a curious newcomer\, or just looking for an inspiring evening! \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nDue to the high demand for this guided tour in June\, we’re excited to offer it one more time! \nThis will be VEQ’s final Hyperrealism guided tour before the exhibition closes. Spots are limited\, so be sure to reserve yours early. If your plans change and you can no longer attend\, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your spot to someone on the waiting list. \nStep into the fascinating world of Hyperrealism\, where sculptures challenge the way we see the human figure. Featuring works by 35 artists from around the globe\, Hyperrealism: This Is Not a Body traces how sculptural representations of people have evolved since the 1970s – from the uncanny to the astonishingly lifelike. \nDuring this guided visit\, you’ll have the chance to explore intricate details\, ask questions\, and dive into the stories behind the art. Feel the textures\, notice the gestures\, and see how artists push the boundaries of reality in sculptural form. \nAfter the tour\, we’ll gather for a chat & coffee – a moment to connect and share impressions. \n📅 Spots are limited—reserve yours today! \nFind more about the exhibit here: https://www.mnbaq.org/programmation/expositions/hyperrealisme-ceci-n-est-pas-un-corps \n  \n
