Last Adventure Tours
Written by Christopher Quigley and Michael Best
Last Adventure Tours is an exciting live theatre concept, with its exploration of deep themes such as life, sacrifice, death, and individual pursuit of happiness. The project delves into existential and philosophical questions about life and death that will evoke profound emotions and reflections.
The theme of life and sacrifice often prompts contemplation about the value of one's existence and the willingness to make sacrifices for a greater cause or for the well-being of others. It helps us explore the complexities of human nature, our sense of purpose, and the choices we make throughout our lives.
Death is an inevitable part of life, and its inclusion in Last Adventure Tours will address questions related to our mortality, the impermanence of life, and how the awareness of our own mortality can impact our actions , choices and perceptions.
Furthermore, choosing one's own path to happiness implies an exploration of individuality, freedom, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment. Last Adventure Tours will examine the consequences of different life choices and the meaning of happiness for different people.
With such thought-provoking themes, Last Adventure Tours will resonate deeply with audiences and encourage them to reflect on their own lives and the choices they make. It could serve as a medium to challenge conventional thinking, inspire self-discovery, and offer valuable insights into the human condition.
Last Adventure Tours will successfully execute its story through characters, and the ability to evoke genuine emotions and connections with the audience. The exploration of these profound themes will captivate and engage audiences seeking meaningful narratives.
The Deviled Project
A Cookbook for the Wickedly Wholesome
Compiled ,curated and edited by Christopher Quigley
Let’s be honest: the world feels a bit cracked right now—split down the middle like, well... an egg.
We’re living in divisive times. And while there’s no shortage of think pieces, protests, and platforms shouting from all directions, I’d like to offer a different approach: a deviled egg.
Yes, that deviled egg.
Loved. Hated. Feared. Worshipped at potlucks and shunned by picky cousins. There are few foods as polarizing, as oddly sensual, or as suspiciously room-temperature as the deviled egg. But it’s precisely that controversy, that unapologetic duality of creamy yolk and sinister paprika, that makes it the perfect ambassador for this strange moment in time.
The Art Surge
Produced by Custom Cultured Events
The Art Surge is a yearly thematic self-guided public art tour which allows the viewer to discover or rediscover emblematic sites of the cities and towns of Lunenburg County. This event invites the visitor to get in touch with this rich heritage by offering interactive public art installations scattered throughout the South Shore. ArtSurge will start in Mahone Bay, the heart of the south coast and offers a route throughout the south shore linking public parks, private lands, mansions and interior courtyards, which are usually not visible to visitors.
ArtSurge sets itself apart from other art initiatives by its unique approach to creating themed interactive art installations. These installations are the result of collaborative teams comprising architects, public artists, lighting designers, and landscape architects. This diverse team composition enables the project to emphasize works that propose, invent, experiment, and explore new fields and conceptions of our environment.
The Ephemeral Series
Artist: Christopher Quigley
At the heart of the Ephemeral Series lies a bold meditation on impermanence, transformation, and the natural forces that shape our world. These public art installations—Ephemeral Monolith, Ephemeral Man, and Ephemeral Animal—are not static sculptures, but dynamic, evolving expressions of life’s fleeting beauty and the inevitable erosion that time, nature, and circumstance impose on everything.
We live in a world where permanence is an illusion. The structures we build, the identities we wear, the bonds we forge—all are subject to time’s relentless march. The Ephemeral Series reflects this universal truth through art that embraces change, creating something new out of dissolution.
I create monumental public art that evolves in real time, dissolving and reshaping itself through the interaction of natural forces. Each piece in the Ephemeral Series becomes a living artwork, engaging the viewer not just in a moment, but over time, as it erodes, transforms, and ultimately takes on a new form. The Ephemeral Series celebrates the beauty in decay and invites viewers to reflect on the impermanence of life, culture, and the world around us.
Through these installations, I aim to evoke a sense of awe, contemplation, and reverence for the forces of nature and time. I believe that by confronting the inevitability of decay, we can better appreciate the fleeting beauty of life and all it encompasses. The Ephemeral Series is a living reminder that everything humans create—be it art, society, or relationships—exists within the context of constant transformation.
