Ford Canada used a novel sales technique to pitch the 2014 Fiesta to riders on Montreal\u2019s Metro. They presented the work of nine local artists in rotating shows in Metro stations in May and June 2013. Among the artists was multi-disciplinary artist Jesse Collette, whose collage diptych, Dawn<\/em>\u00a0and Dusk<\/em>, tells the love story of two travelers who haven\u2019t yet met. Normally, Collette uses found images in his collage, but for this project, he used image transfer which allowed him to increase the size of the work and make the presentation pop (the images were presented back-lit in the stations\u2019 existing advertising vitrines). The originals of work on display will be sold during a silent auction and Ford Canada will return all the proceeds to Quebec\u2019s arts community.<\/p>\n
