Juan David Molina Velasco

FAAS
Galerie du Nouvel Ontario, Sudbury
Tuesday June 16 2026, 7pm

The artist has been invited by the Centre’s performance committee to participate in the Sudbury Alternative Art Fair (FAAS), which will take place from May 12 to 16. This year, the festival welcomes artists for a week of site-specific creation focused on the theme of chance/chance.

Parked in front of the gallery, the GNO will close Larch Street between Durham and Elgin for a week of site-specific creation centered on the theme of chance.

Chance refers to an unpredictable, fortuitous event, without a known cause, or a force acting randomly, often linked to luck or fate. It can be an unexpected coincidence (by chance), a logical unpredictability (in games), or a philosophical concept of unnecessary causality.

Big buses, tanks, flatbeds, trucks—the choice is yours; the vehicles become the canvas for each project, activating these temporary creative zones. Installed and developed over the course of a week, the artists and the public will come together bumper to bumper for these spontaneous encounters. Beep beep! Let’s go for a joy ride! Light your lucky lights!

By bringing artistic experimentation directly into shared urban spaces, FAAS 8 reimagines everyday infrastructure as a place of connection, curiosity, and serendipity.
