Exhibition Expositions temporaires, depuis 2015

The Liliane and David M. Stewart Program for Modern Design

Temporary exhibitions, since 2015

Permanent scenography and exhibition development for modern design in a historic Golden Square Mile house, for the Macdonald Stewart Foundation.

Diane Bernier Design (DBD) created a permanent layout and furniture in one of the rooms of the Louis-Joseph-Forget house, one of the few remaining bourgeois residences of the Golden Square Mile, to present exhibitions on modern design that Mrs. Liliane Stewart was fond of.

Since the historic house is listed in the Register of Cultural Heritage of Quebec, DBD proposed the installation of two backlit display cases and suspensions from the frieze around the room. She also collaborated on the development of several exhibitions thanks to the Macdonald Stewart Foundation, notably: Redéfinition des formes traditionnelles du design. Dons à la mémoire de Liliane M. Stewart, 1928-2014 (2015); Ambassadeur du design: un hommage à Luc D’Iberville-Moreau (1935-2016) (2016); Qu’est-ce que le Good Design ? (2018); L’œil du collectionneur. Dons de la collection George R. Kravis II (2019); La quête de la beauté. Don Magner (2021); Une ménagerie de verre vénitienne. Sélection de la collection Sze (2023).
