GENERAL
PRESENTATION
The Montresso* Foundation is a singular place because of the support and trust it creates with resident artists; but also a space for dialogue and meeting with collectors, journalists, amateurs and professionals of the art world.
COLLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY ART
1 981
The Montresso* foundation was born of an unparalleled commit-
ment from its founder Jean-Louis Haguenauer to many artists for
over thirty years. The Montresso* Foundation has so far a large
collection of contemporary art voluntarily heteroclite, inherited
from the successive interests of its founder. Important pieces
stand alongside the works of young contemporary artists and ar-
tists in residence.

The Montresso* Foundation had the opportunity in 2006 to ac-
quire an abandoned olive grove twenty kilometers from Mar-
rakesh. The founder sees his ambition set, creating a setting where
he offers residents the means to realize a personal project to as-
sert themselves as visual artists, through a long-term support.

every week.
A GLOBAL PLACE

The Montresso* Foundation aims to build new
buildings that will complete the project in or-

Montresso* art space as well as in a future venue
dedicated to the presentation of the Montresso*
collection.

JARDIN ROUGE CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
The artist subbmit to the foundation a personal project that he wishes
to develop, specifying its content and form. The artistic committee of the
foundation then selects the future resident artists (painting, sculpture,
photography, installation) who will be invited to stay at Jardin Rouge for a
ARTISTS minimum of one month. Thus, up to six visual artists at once are accommo-
dated as part of the residences.

the heart of current concerns.
A PLACE OF PROMOTION
The Montresso* team also accompanies the artist in promoting
his work, putting all their energy at the service of the promotion
and visibility of artistic projects. Thus, the field of investigation is
not limited only to creation but extends to its diffusion by the de-
velopment of events in situ as well as outside the walls.
The artists residency Jardin Rouge is a meeting place between art
and its amateurs. Within the so-called “helmet living room”, there
are regular presentations of projects. The artists exchange, dis-
cuss with collectors, answer interviews with journalists, decipher
their works with art critics.
The works realized within the residence of artists Jardin Rouge
are proposed to the acquisition of the Friends of the Montresso*
Foundation, an international network of collectors, thus allowing
the retribution of the artist and the financing of the residences
and projects outside the walls.

THE MONTRESSO* COLLECTION
The foundation presents once or twice a year a part of the Montresso*
permanent collection through points of convergence and themes. The
works of the artists of the residency Jardin Rouge as well as the works
directly acquired by the foundation offer a temporal and multiple look at
the artistic intuition of the Montresso* Foundation. It will eventually be
presented in the heart of a dedicated space.
The contemporary art space organizes guided tours every Friday and Saturday by
appointment at info@montresso.com. In 2019, the venue will open to the public in a
lasting way thanks to new spaces that will facilitate its reception.Creative Laboratory:

PUBLIC SPACE
To propose art in the living space of the city is a bias. Appreciating the
space in a new pictorial dimension as a place of contemplation and ques-
tioning is a social and educational issue. Bringing a stone to the building

station ONCF in Marrakesh, marking the will of the foundation to register
its action outside the walls in the heart of the ocher city.
PARTNERSHIPS AND INTERNATIONAL EVENTS
The Montresso* Foundation is also involved alongside institutional and
associative partners in major off-site projects. It establishes partnerships
with foreign galleries and participates in many international events, pro-
viding support and visibility to the artists it believes in (Biennials, Fairs,
Festivals).
In 2016, the Montresso* Foundation participated in the Marrakech Bien-
nial and the Dakar Biennale. In spring 2017, the foundation had the ho-
nor to present the exhibition Presence Commune in the Mohammed VI
Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMVI) of Rabat, at the invi-
tation of the National Foundation of the Museum of Morocco (FNM) . In
partnership with the city of Marrakesh, the French Institute of Marrakesh
(IFM) and Awaln’Art, Jardin Rouge unveiled at the same time the project
Tmcha fel Medina during which the artist Jace from Reunion invested the
ocher city to think a artistic route in the Medina.
The Montresso* Foundation has also supported the Trait d’Union Asso-
ciation for Disability in a charity auction. She also participated in the re-
novation and the creation of a library at the school of the nearby village,
Oulad Bouzid, in collaboration with the Kitabi association which strives for
schools in rural areas.
Hendrik Beikirch, Marrakesh , 2016“It’s not just a place where
anything is possible, [...]
it’s mostly a place where
we dialogue with them,
incite them, encourage
them to explore, to question
themselves. Both the founder Tmecha Fel Medina, JACE, Marrakech, 2017

director [...] interact with

confidence, [...] reasonning

long term.”
