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.
