Foundation of Nothing Nuit Blanche at 401 Richmond
On the occasion of Nuit Blanche, Le Labo presents The Foundation of Nothing, a playful and poetic installation created by La Vaste Entreprise, to be discovered at 401 Richmond.
The principle is as simple as it is disconcerting: you sign up for an activity… which is then cancelled. This deliberately absurd gesture opens up a new space—that of freed time.
In this installation, the experience unfolds through several forms: a physical device, an interactive website, a quirky hotline, and even fake social media advertisements. The project invites participants to transform a cancellation into a true artistic experience.
How does it work?
- Choose a cancelled activity from the catalogue, at the date and time of your choice
- Receive a series of emails that guide you through the process
- Explore the Foundation, its quirky humor, and its unexpected detours
Through The Foundation of Nothing, the work questions our relationship with time, productivity, and the constant occupation of our days.
Join us to live this singular experience during Nuit Blanche. Let yourself be tempted: doing nothing has never been so rewarding.
