About this Event
Get insights into her interdisciplinary practice and learn about her curatorial fascinations. This in-person event is a unique opportunity to connect with Fortin as she shares her international curatorial practice and current research.
Sylvie Fortin is an interdependent curator, researcher, writer, and editor based in Montréal and Buenos Aires. She was Curator-in-Residence (2019–21) at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha, USA; Executive/Artistic Director of La Biennale de Montréal (2013–17); Executive Director/Editor of ART PAPERS, Atlanta (2004–12). Fortin lectures internationally. Her writings have been published widely, including in Artforum, ART PAPERS, Art Press, Art Review, e-flux Criticism, and Frieze.
In 2017, Fortin began a long-term, interdisciplinary, itinerant curatorial inquiry into the currencies of hospitality. She now realizes it will be a lifelong project.
Focusing on the debt that economics and finance owe to hospitality, her current research is carried out through curatorial residencies and the realization of Transitive Properties, a long-term mobile platform hosting undisciplined artists/thinkers and supporting their open-ended research and production. In the process, it redistributes resources and fosters contagious social experimentation, aiming, on a small scale, to realize alternative worldings.
The Residency Series is generously supported by North Vancouver Recreation and Culture.
