Join us for a fun evening to celebrate the launch of issue 283 of Vie des arts, followed by a tour of the artists-in-residence’ studios.

Meet Karoline Pöhn, Lhasa Simard, Ghislain Brown-Kossi, and Laurence Broydé, who will share updates on their ongoing research at Fonderie Darling.

The event is free and will take place on the ground floor and the 3rd floor, accessible by stairs.

KAROLINE PÖHN

Karoline Pöhn’s work sits at the intersection of textile art, materials research, and embodiment theory. She approaches textiles not as a material, but as a way of thinking—a means of generating knowledge through touch, rhythm, and resistance.

The Quebec-Upper Austria residency program is organized in partnership with the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) and the government of Upper Austria.

LHASA SIMARD

In her work, Lhasa Simard explores the sublimation of everyday objects through the act of finding. Allowing her practice to be guided by the serendipity of foraging, she envisions installations in which found and created objects interact, always within a process-oriented approach to sculpture.

After two residencies in Gaspésie (Gare de Matapédia) and New Brunswick (Projet Borgitte), her stay at Fonderie Darling marks the final stage of the second edition of the Québec-Acadie Residencies.

GHISLAIN BROWN-KOSSI

Combining painting, sculpture, and installation, Ghislain Brown-Kossi develops a visual language in which memory, belonging, and perception emerge from the physical qualities of the materials, the tension created by their arrangement, and their interactions within the space.

A residency made possible with support from the British Columbia Art Council.

LAURENCE BROYDÉ

Laurence Broydé creates immersive installations that blend painting and textile sculptures to explore representations of gender and transform our relationship with space.
