The catalogue is printed and Pop Montreal was very generous - we have beer reserves till spring.
Thanks to everyone who came to the show, the closing vernissage and/or helped with putting all the parts of the exhibit together - the art, catalogue, curating, hanging or party.
It's been a great success and hopefully was material to challenge the spaces within which all things exist and move!
I curated an exhibit opening at Art45. Although it opens saturday, the closing party is where things will be at: October 3rd with Pop Montreal, the artists and the catalog launch. Here's the press release:
Curated by Chloé Roubert, this exhibition juxtaposes images from Jon Rafman's Google Street View series with photographic urban shots from the 1950s onwards by Gabor Szilasi. By comparing these artistic approaches to past and current public space, the exhibit touches upon ideas of urban visuality, privacy and authorship.
Rafman will be in the forthcoming exhibit Free at the New Museum in NYC, and Szilasi is a recipient of the Governor General award whose retrospective was held at the National Gallery of Canada in 2009.
The Closing Party with catalogue launch and artists present is organized in collaboration with Art Pop of Pop Montreal, on Sunday October 3rd from 3pm to 5pm.
Art45 is open Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 5pm, or on weekdays by appointment.
