in the streets and on the roofs of Montreal

can't help it ... it's the chairs that attracted my attention on these roofs

contemporary art at the old port - Montreal

Among the more traditional galleries in the busy old Montreal area, this one was a surprise. Great space and a nice break from the others. In the middle of setting up a new exhibition.

Galeries at Belgo - Montreal

The last of the series of pictures on the galleries in the Belgo building. I did not take these to present the works of an artist. I was so impressed by the location I could not stop trying to capture the space and atmosphere. What first looked very uninviting and unwelcome was surely worth the long visit. Exploring the corridors on 4 different levels, peering through half open doors, disappointed at the closed ones ... it was well worth the effort.

I must confess that I was particularely interested in the chairs. For the new-comers here on this blog : I do have a serious chair-addiction.

And I just can't get enough of these great settings for exhibitions, so different from all the smaller (and quite boring) galeries in the Quartier du Musée.

I did not find a website for the Galerie Luz (there is none mentionned on the business card), nor for the artist Elisabeth Geraghty. Looking for more information I found this site about the Belgo buildng. If you want to stay tuned on ongoing exhibitions have a look here : http://www.bettinaforget.com/TheBelgoReport/

SBC gallery at Belgo - Montreal

La Clef by Lyne Lapointe

at the SBC gallery

Pictorial, sculptural and musical installation. A panel (on the right of the first picture and in the back of the second) is connected to several other panels that have a musical instrument built into them : a violin, a rain-stick, a mandolin. It is also connected to a chair with an accordion. Different switches on the first panel will activate the connected instruments on the other panels and the chair creating a 'concert'. The back of the panels is meant to be seen, artwork on both sides.
