#ArtMTL #LeFIFA @ArtFifa @mbamtl In Art We Trust by Benoît Rossel Benoît Rossel’s documentary is an indulgent portrait, with a touch of irony, of a mysterious occupation that is as often venerated as it is reviled and decried as imposture. He looks at the careers of major Western artists such as Valérie Jouve, Julie Mehretu, Ayako David-Kawauchi and Lawrence Weiner. By questioning the ambitions, doubts, strategies, compromises, lean times and good years of artists who epitomize the entire profession, the film presents a lively, playful and moving allegory of the figure of the artist in today’s society.

#ArchMTL #LeFIFA @ArtFifa @heritageMTL @Montreal @ccawire A great lady of architecture!!! Phyllis Lambert by Manuel Foglia Born in Montreal, Phyllis Lambert has always been interested in all forms of art, particularly sculpture. Curious and independent-minded, she met her mentor in New York, the celebrated German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, after which her career blossomed: she piloted the construction of the Seagram Building in New York, designed the Saidye Bronfman Centre in Montreal, and was a consultant for the TD Centre in Toronto. The founder of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal and author of numerous works, Phyllis Lambert has long been an advocate for the city’s architectural heritage and social housing projects. In this film by Manuel Foglia, she describes her path and vision of a citizen-oriented form of architecture. (at Centre Canadien d'Architecture / Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA))
