Espace Maurice Gia Vin & Grill

This story originally appeared on September 25, 2025 in Community Service, an independent biweekly newsletter featuring a curated selection of art and design events in Montreal.

Marie Ségolène C. Brault is a performance artist, curator and writer based in Montreal. She is also the co-founder of Calliope, an ephemeral reading series, and Espace Maurice, a gallery apartment in the Village.

I first met Marie at Gia Vin & Grill, where I convinced her table to sip $26 tiramisu martinis. Since then, I have been fascinated with Marie’s ability to just go for it, and we’ve since bonded over our love for art.

Could you start by telling me a little bit more about your practice? Both right now and also its evolution since you started.
