Art historian Laurence Garneau will be in conversation with James Gardner. Drawing on her time at the Warburg Institute and her research on medieval painting and astrology, Garneau will discuss the techniques and themes present in James Gardner's paintings.

Laurence Garneau holds a doctorate in art history from the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her research, presented in Canada and Europe, focuses on astrological frescoes painted in Italian public palaces in the 14th and 15th centuries, and adopts a historiographical, anthropological and feminist approach. In recent years, she has contributed to various educational projects as a project manager, editor or cultural mediator, notably at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, the Fondation LDT, the Galerie de l'UQAM, the Salle Alfred-Pellan and Thèsez-vous. Laurence Garneau is currently a lecturer at the Université de Québec à Montréal.
