PHI
451 Rue Saint-Jean, Montréal, QC H2Y 2R5
Contemporary art exhibitions inside a former theatre troupe's restored heritage rehearsal rooms.
This guide to PHI in Montreal traces how Phoebe Greenberg, trained at Paris's Jacques Lecoq physical-theatre school, spent nearly two decades touring Europe as an actor before buying a heritage building in Old Montreal and turning it into a rehearsal space for her own company, Diving Horse Creations. You'll hear how that company evolved by 2007 into an art foundation, first known as DHC/Art, and only became PHI in 2019. Along the way, Greenberg kept treating the place like a workshop rather than a shrine, including one gallery opening where she greeted the crowd with latex ears stuck to her forehead.
