Context of the Residency
As part of the PHI Montréal residency, in partnership with the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ), the two artists of the 2024-25 cohort had the opportunity to collaborate with PHI on their public engagement projects.
Gabrielle Harnois Blouin Porosities: We Will Be Made of Sponges and Speakers
As part of Porosities, Gabrielle Harnois Blouin collaborated with a third-grade class from Saint-Barthélémy School to co-create a choral performative work. Throughout the residency, the artist explored the children’s relationship to the world by engaging their voices, movements, and ideas. The public will be invited to experience an immersive sound installation created from traces of the project and the resulting work will be performed later in June.
Horizon Factory (Erin Hill + Nina Vroemen) Deep Gazing
Deep Gazing is an interdisciplinary performance project by Horizon Factory composed of Erin Hill and Nina Vroemen. As part of the residency, they created The Sisters of the Celestial Order of Nephology, a fictitious, pseudo-sect of two, blue cloaked, atmospheric-nuns called by the unseizable state of clouds and the ephemeral narratives that form them. These narratives are personal, environmental, futuristic, and potential warning signs.
Practical Information
The free exhibition will be presented from June 5 to 29, 2025, at 407 Saint-Pierre Street. To learn more about the exhibition or the PHI Montreal residency, visit our website.
