Monarch Vectors : Migrations/Transmigrations - NEW!Subscribe

Monarch Vector is a poetic reflexion on flight and the fragility of frontiers, real or imagined, inspired from a true-life adventure while following the path of the monarch butterflies’ migration over North America.

Monarch Vector is a dossier that was inspired by multidisciplinary artists Patrick Beaulieu and Daniel Canty who piloted the Monarca Mobile--a modified 1978 postal truck incorporating a portable art gallery. They travelled over thirty-four days to follow, by way of land, the aerial path of the monarch butterflies’ migration over North America.

Monarch Vector is a poetic reflexion on flight and the fragility of frontiers, real or imagined, inspired from a true-life adventure.

Check out the beautiful and engaging Vector Monarca Web project.... inspired by this journey.
