Interview: A conversation with Leila Greiche, Founder and Director of L’INCONNUE

Leila Greiche and I already knew each other before the editorial team suggested I interview her. Nonetheless, I was excited to be given the opportunity to draw the portrait of the savvy gallery owner behind the charming and joyful woman I call a friend. Leila had proposed to meet for lunch at Manitoba, a unique restaurant in Montreal in that specializes in First Nation’s cuisine. I find her seated in the garden area dressed in a dazzling bright pink suit with impeccable hair and make up. She waves at me and I discover Truffles at her feet, her two-year-old Brussels Griffon. She has already ordered a bottle of Kombucha: “Let’s share!” she offers enthusiastically. In that moment, I realize how this first interaction already encapsulates who I know Leila Greiche to be: a sophisticated independent woman of good taste with considerate and caring manners. 

She begins to tell me about her homecoming three years ago after nearly a decade abroad: in New York first, then London. She had noticed that some of the Canadian artists she had come to follow were relatively unknown, rarely shown and certainly not collected in Canada. She initially opened the gallery in 2016 as a response to this realization. Around the same time, a number of other young spaces with similar mandates started pop up, bringing a breath of fresh air to what can sometimes feel like a reclusive Canadian art market. When asked how the name L’INCONNUE came about, she revealed that it was inspired by the story of l’inconnue de la seine, a woman who drowned in the French capital’s river in the beginning of the 20^thcentury and whose face was plastered and reproduced industrially. “Her face became used as a CPR dummy, as a drawing model and was on many images and objects that found their way in people’s homes. Albert Camus called her the drowned Mona Lisa.” She liked the paradox: being unknown yet incredibly visible at the same time.

Interview: A conversation with Christian Siekmeier from E X I L E / Vienna

Tula Plumi: Christian you started EXILE in 2008, in a garage in Kreuzberg. Today EXILE is located in Vienna’s 1st district among many museums, galleries and sightseeing attractions. Can you tell us about this transition?  

Christian Siekmeier: From the beginning, continuous transformation was a core factor of how I understood E X I L E’s identity. The name, with all its complexities, insufficiencies and inherent difficulties, remains programmatic and includes a certain temporal fragility and spatial restlessness. So since opening in 2008, E X I L E has moved, has transitioned, on multiple occasions from one context to the next. We found ourselves in a garage, a raw loft, an abandoned office space, a white-cube, an apartment and now in our current sauna-esque space in Vienna. E X I L E needs this transitionary state to remain relevant and alert.

What we saw at ARCOlisboa 2019. Here are the booths that we liked the most.

Just after the opening of the Venice biennale we arrived at the fourth edition of ARCOlisboa, and the first with Maribel López as director. Between the Art Libris section, the Meeting of Museums, and the art talks (highlight the one organized by Filipa Oliveira - What I am Working On?) we choose out favorite booths.
