Eleven years ago, we met in Black Mountain in the US.
We are both artists coming from different backgrounds, Anne-Sophie a trained architect and sculptor, Juan a musician and a painter. Over time, we lived in different cities, such as: Asheville (us), Valparaíso (cl), Santiago (cl) and Paris (fr).
after five years in France, we decided to move again. we arrived in ghent, to experience a different culture and continue to develop our artistic practices.
After living here for a year and a half, We decided to stay. we felt a strong affinity with the city.
our project of smlltrrn became a reality when we organised an exhibition in our first house with 10 foreign and local artists.
Then, we found a beautiful old brick building to have our studios and create a projectspace and a residency for art.
We believe there is a different way of approaching art; a more intimate within a human scale; where any artist, individual or group can contribute to broaden the vision of art and culture.
