SPACE

As part of the 1 Artwork / 1 Minute video series, developed by PHI’s Education Department, a team member offers a brief interpretation of a single artwork from a current exhibition. During the event, a PHI educator will screen the 1 Artwork / 1 Minute – Keiken video, to offer a more in-depth presentation of the featured artwork, followed by a Q&A session with the audience.

How can a cultural institution, through its architectural framework, truly serve artists? This conversation is the first in a series exploring the many facets of PHI Contemporary, a new space for art and culture set to open in Old Montreal. Guests will join Talia Dorsey, Head of Planning and Development at PHI, to reflect on how architecture can respond to the needs for spaces, structures, and resources that support the presentation of contemporary artistic practices—and, in doing so, foster deeper public engagement with them.
