Everybody else is wrong
Iain Forsythe & Jane Pollard
1206 St. Laurent, Montréal
February 2004
Everybody else is wrong was a major solo exhibition of new work by Iain and Jane in a 2,500 sq ft old arcade on Montreal’s high traffic The Main. Everybody else is wrong is a process-led project and was created in-situ.
Participants were invited to make a ‘mix-tape’ for someone they love or have loved (requited or otherwise). The submitted inlay cards for these tapes were collated and displayed throughout the show’s duration, alongside a 30 minute single channel video work, Everybody else is wrong, and a series of 13 large poster works.
The project was drawing its inspiration from the shared and extra-communicative traits of mix-tape culture. The exhibition was matched with a series of concerts by Wolf Parade, The Arcade Fire, The Hidden Camera’s, Dr. Octoboobies, Miss Matches, Jordan Dare, Lynne T and The World Provider.
