In conversation with Marx, Julie and Joanie share the framework on which Projet Pangée is based. As an artists run gallery, Project Pangée was design to be different than a commercial gallery and also different than an artist run center, which are the most prevalent spaces for art showing in the province of Quebec. In this interview they also share their opinions on where artists should be showing their work, what drives them to work so hard to promote contemporary arts and a lot more. This is one of the most fun interviews we have posted yet and we hope to have them both over again soon for part 2 of the Projet Pangée team. For more information on their very interesting programming and for any other inquiries please visit their website. Thanks for listening

In the last episode of 2017 we have a conversation with writer and curator Loreta Lamargese, she lives and works in New York city at ArsenalContemporary. She came over to the tiny studio in January of 2017, when she was still working at Division gallery in Montreal. We spend a couple of hours talking about everything from social media self-gratification to the exclusivity of the art world. But mainly we talked about some of the socio-political-economic issues that most of the times are ignored even when we can easily see them standing in front of us basically at all times.
