For over ten years, the Foundation has welcomed artists in residence who wish to develop projects motivated by a sense of history and an interest in fostering a dialogue with Guido Molinari’s work. Through these residencies, the Foundation seeks to contribute to current aesthetic and theoretical debates, revisit art historical works from a contemporary perspective, and promote the practice of contemporary Quebec artists in a way that reflects issues raised by Molinari’s work. This year, the Foundation is delighted to welcome artists Jean-Maxime Dufresne <\/strong>and Virginie Lagani\u00e8re<\/strong>. The exhibition showcasing the results of their residency is presented from March 13th to May 25th, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on a key period in Guido Molinari’s artistic production that favours geometric abstraction and chromatic vibration, Chromatopia<\/em> unfolds an investigation into the polysemy of colour. For this research project, founded on the conviction that knowledge emerges from contact with plural realities, the exploration of Molinari’s work and archives acted as an incubator to create a laboratory of ideas on chromatic perception. Faced with the ambivalence of colours and the difficulty of assigning them a precise meaning, the artists examine their psychic, cultural, neurological, social, biological and political dimensions, through the prism of artistic creation and disciplinary transversality. In a processual approach, the exhibition rallies conceptual thinking, documentary experimentation, scientific contributions and speculative imaginations. By bringing together installation, photography, video and sound, attention is paid to visibility and chromatic dissonance within our material culture and our urban, natural and technological environments.<\/p>\n\n\n
