Public discussion: Fiona Annis invites Jonathan Villeneuve – February 8, 2024
What creative spaces for artists?
As part of her residency at the Guido Molinari Foundation, Fiona Annis is reflecting on the significance of working, in 2024, in the studio bequeathed by Molinari, which he acquired in the 1980s – and in a completely different real estate context.
Jonathan Villeneuve, meanwhile, co-founded the organization Ateliers Belleville with Alexis Bellavance in 2015. In December 2022, Ateliers Belleville acquired 545 Legendre Ouest, bringing to fruition the vision the organization has been pursuing since 2018: the establishment of a mixed, self-managed cultural hub (Le LAB-545) within a building acquired under collective ownership.
Take part in the meeting of these two realities in the form of first-hand accounts, and contribute to the discussion on this special occasion, held in Guido Molinari’s former studio – and Fiona Annis’ temporary one.
