Through March 18 at Palais Orleans 20 artists and 20 pieces . . .all representing the title of or a line from a Leonard Cohen song on exhibit. Organized and curated by Morgana Nagorski. Additional pieces are displayed in a garden area outside the main gallery.

Based on the Leonard Cohen song "Joan of Arc."

Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
as she came riding through the dark;
no moon to keep her armour bright,
no man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, "I'm tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
a wedding dress or something white
to wear upon my swollen appetite."
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
you know I've watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine.
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke.
"Why, I'm fire," he replied,
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."

THIS IS AN EXHIBITION TO SEE!

The unified heart symbol is one created by Leonard . . . and is like Star of David, with intertwined hearts instead of triangles.
