In this, our very first Belgo Report episode, we are exploring the Belgo building itself.

Bettina starts by flipping back the calendar about about a hundred years and tracks the Belgo’s transformation from a mundane commercial building into the epicenter of contemporary art that it is today. For some extra insights, she chats with building technician Gordon Clarke, who tells us what’s been happening at the Belgo in the last 30 years.

Later in the hour Bettina sits down with artists and gallery owners Chih-Chien Wang and Josée Pedneault, founders and directors of the cutting-edge gallery Les Territoires.

And at the end of the hour Montreal artist Jennifer Hamilton is going to give us a tour of her tiny, 100 square-foot art studio (which used to be a storage unit!).
