From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phoebe Greenberg (born 10 January 1964) is an actress, writer and producer[1] based in Montreal, Canada. She is the daughter of Irving Greenberg, one of the founders of Minto Group in 1955 and Shirley Greenberg.[2] She is also the mother of artist Miles Greenberg.

Biography

[edit]

Phoebe Greenberg established PHI in Montreal, Canada. PHI consists of the PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art (2007, formerly DHC/ART[3]), the PHI Centre (2012), and the PHI Studio (2019).

Originally from Ottawa, Canada, Phoebe Greenberg is a graduate of the Jacques Lecoq International Theater School in Paris. After working almost two decades in theater, Greenberg turned her interest towards contemporary art. The PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art, the first entity under the banner of PHI, was thus established in 2007 by Greenberg

Akin to the ‘kunsthalle’ model, the PHI Foundation became a non-collecting institution exhibiting contemporary art. Greenberg committed to ensuring that this infrastructure would be free to the public.

In 2012 Greenberg established the PHI Centre to champion projects at the crossroads of art, cinema, music, virtual reality and augmented reality. Greenberg's first virtual reality work was a collaboration with Felix & Paul Studios with Patrick Watson in 2015. Strangers was a one-on-one encounter with the musician at his Montreal studio. PHI Studio (2019) develops exhibitions and immersive experiences.

PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art

[edit]

Greenberg first founded the PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art (formerly known as DHC/ART) in 2007. The program offers two to three major exhibitions per year, educational activities, interdisciplinary collaborative projects and public events. All activities offered by the Foundation are free of charge to the public.

In March 2019, DHC/ART changed its name to the PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art by Greenberg, aiming to unite the growing cultural infrastructure and offer under the banner of PHI.

Over the past years, the PHI Foundation has presented artists such as Marc Quinn, Sophie Calle, John Currin, Ryoji Ikeda, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Jenny Holzer, Björk, Yoko Ono and many others. In celebration of its 15th anniversary, the PHI Foundation will welcome Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama in 2022.[citation needed]

PHI Centre

[edit]

In 2012, Greenberg set up the PHI Centre, a multidisciplinary artistic and cultural hub. The institution brings together visual arts, cinema, music, design and new technologies, in order to encourage encounters between disciplines, as well as between artists and the public. The PHI Centre hosted, among others, the Red Bull Music Academy, Chili Gonzales, Yasiin Bey (formally known as Mos Def), Nick Cave, Arthur H and Denis Villeneuve with his short film Next Floor, a cinematic work filmed and inspired by the building that now housed the PHI Centre before its reconstruction in 2008. The PHI Centre has presented numerous exhibitions, experiences, and performances, including the following:

PHI Studio

[edit]

The PHI Studio (established in 2019) develops exhibitions and "immersive experiences" presented locally and internationally.

PHI presents works abroad, through initiatives such as showing at the Rockefeller Center in New York City, the Tribeca Film Festival, programming and production of the Virtual Reality Pavilion at the Luxembourg City Film Festival as well as a gallery during the 58th Venice Biennale.[citation needed]

PHI Contemporary

[edit]

Opening its doors in 2026, PHI Contemporary[14] is to be an institution of contemporary art and culture. The project will consolidate the full breadth of PHI under one roof.

The site

[edit]

Located at the intersection of Bonsecours and Saint-Paul streets in the historic district of Montreal — Old Montreal, — the site of PHI Contemporary (formerly the Auberge Pierre-Du-Calvet) consists of four historic buildings that date to the 18th century and a large adjacent lot. In direct proximity to the Bonsecours Market (1847) and the Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours Chapel (1675) - both storied landmarks of the city and its heritage.

International Architecture Competition

[edit]

On August 26, 2021, PHI launched an International Architecture Competition for the design of PHI Contemporary. The call for candidature elicited 65 entries from architectural firms from 14 countries, of which 11 were selected to compete. The winning architectural firms, Kuehn Malvezzi + Pelletier de Fontenay, will pursue the mandate to develop their proposal for the architectural design of PHI Contemporary.
