Quebec has long shrugged off its strait-jacket on traditional sexual mores; at least two generations have gyrated their way through the sexual revolution that followed in the wake of the public renunciation of the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church. Yet positive, broadly representative, love-inspired sexual imagery can still be hard to find.
Twenty seven Quebec artists will express their feelings and thoughts on eroticism, romanticism, love, and sexuality in an evening of art and poetry entitled Hot Art: Explorations in Erotica. The opening event will be held on May 20th, from 6 to 9 pm, at Espace les neuf soeurs (1900 Wellington), once the Bank of Montreal in Pte- Ste-Charles.
The exhibition will be up from May 18th to the 31st and will feature photography, painting, music, poetry, short fiction, as well as some stimulating erotic surprises to be revealed at the show’s opening.
The exhibit will showcase twenty Quebec-based visual artists, including Bernice Sorge, ELAN’s (English Language Arts Network) artist-in-residence, Jenny Schade, emerging Concordia artist featured as part of Art Mur’s Fresh Paint and New Construction, Eric Bolduc, artist, editor and writer for Montreal art-blog ratsdeville and Yan D. Soloh, internationally-exhibited emerging painter.
Marco Armando, Duplessis, Colette Coughlin, Tina Korkeasalo, and Alejandro Savaria will present poetry and short prose in the language of love.
