to the artists, designers and craftspeople who think I call their work kitsch... this is NOT the case, it refers to my own work

Colourful sculptures - Montreal

Time for a serious portion of kitsch lights. Visiting the botanical gardens at Montreal, there is an exhibition going on with Chinese silk lanterns. Somewhat overwhelming, a whole lot on a rather small space. But the child in me can marvel over the colours and very nice reflections of the light sculptures on the pond in the Chinese garden.

Enjoy ...

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.
