The documentary reveals the exceptional contribution made by Les Cent jours d’art contemporain de Montréal (1985 to 1996) and La Biennale de Montréal (1998 to 2011). Founder and general director Claude Gosselin describes the genesis of these events, which were original in that they were presented in unusual and unconventional venues. He explains how these very events allowed numerous curators to imagine prestigious exhibitions, both in terms of museology and the artistic and aesthetic issues of the time.

These events, which took place for almost thirty years, left their mark on people’s imaginations. A new public was introduced to contemporary art, and discovered artists who were recognized, and sometimes little-known, but who would go on to become major players on the artistic scene.
