- Biosphère
To mark the 60th anniversary of Expo 67, the McCord Stewart Museum and the Biosphère are joining forces to host an artist residency. The Museum will provide access to its collections and curatorial expertise, while the Biosphère offers a unique foothold on the historic Expo 67 site and a strong commitment to socio-ecological transition.
This residency invites artists to explore the legacy of Expo 67 as a living space: a reservoir of objects and images, ideas and utopias to be reactivated rather than a simple record of the past. It is a space where yesterday’s promises overlap with today’s uncertainties.
The project aims to foster a dialogue across temporalities: the futures imagined in the past, the one we inhabit today and those still to be invented.
This six-month residency will take place from July to December 2026. It will allow the selected artist to draw inspiration from the McCord Stewart Museum’s collections and the Expo 67 site for a research-creation project. Please note that no studio space is provided; the artist must have access to their own workspace.
