La Galerie B-312 est très heureuse d’annoncer son nouveau projet de Résidences croisées Montréal + Tunis. S’échelonnant sur trois ans, ces résidences de ressourcement et de recherche favoriseront des échanges entre les communautés artistiques. Chaque année, deux artistes, l’un de Montréal, l’autre de Tunis, auront l’occasion de découvrir, à même une résidence d’un mois, la communauté artistique de chacune des deux villes. Une occasion unique de saisir, depuis une expérience in situ, une sensibilité, une culture, une manière de penser et de pratiquer l’art.

During her residency, Camila Eslava has created a series of 170 meditative drawings that follow different variations of black ink drops on photographic white paper. She then sent several of them, randomly, to various strangers who are residents of Montreal.

The collective HeHe, composed of Helen Evans and Heiko Hansen, designes surprising hybrid machines that are at times oversized.Their projects are often the result of highly sophisticated processes that involve scientists and specialists. 

This performance is inspired by a child’s suit. This found object, belonging to another era, appears to be a shrunken version of a grown up’s clothing. Not knowing the clothing’s specific history allows for a continual projection of possible scenarios.
