1700 La Poste

Art Galleries / Museums (Private)

Description

Le 1700 La Poste is named after the building’s original purpose and directed by Belgian patron and curator Isabelle de Mévius. This private gallery/museum (free access for everyone) presents and documents the work of contemporary artists from Canada and abroad through the centre’s exhibitions. Every exhibition is accompanied by a catalog by Les Éditions de Mévius. Postal Station F, built in 1913, was conceived by architect David Jerome Spence. Located at 1700 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, the building was fully restored a century later, thanks to private financing from Isabelle de Mévius and the singular vision of the late Luc Laporte. This major undertaking was the architect’s last project. / Le 1700 La Poste est un lieu privé consacré aux arts visuels et à ses enjeux discursifs. Sous la direction générale et artistique d’Isabelle de Mévius, plus d’une vingtaine d’artistes du Québec et d’ailleurs y ont exposé à ce jour. Chaque exposition est accompagnée d’une publication des Éditions de Mévius. En 1913, le Bureau de Poste Station F voit le jour grâce à la vision de l’architecte David Jerome Spence. Cent ans plus tard, l’édifice situé au 1700 rue Notre-Dame Ouest est entièrement restauré grâce au financement privé de Madame de Mévius et à la vision singulière de feu l’architecte Luc Laporte, qui signera sa dernière réalisation avec ce projet d’envergure. La visite des expositions du 1700 La Poste est gratuite pour tous, en tout temps.
