Vernissage May 20th, 2010 | 6-9pm

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.

Participating artists:

Mary Bogdan • Eric Bolduc • Judith Brisson • Joseane Brunelle • Jean Chainey • Colette Coughlin • Colin Dorward • Suzanne Elharar • Willy • Lana Hensel • Mathieu Laca • Sol Lang • Genevieve Langlois • Jenny Schade • Kathy Slamen • Yan D. Soloh •
Bernice Sorge • Tristan Tondino • Melanie Tully • Caili Woodyard

Vernissage – will be held on May 20th, from 6 to 9 pm with readings of poetry and short prose in the language of love by Marco Armando, Duplessis, Colette Coughlin, Tina Korkeasalo, Joel Asa Miller and Alejandro Savaria, Rachna Vohra.

L’art chaud
explorations dans l’érotique
18 au 31 mai, 2010

Vernissage — le 20 mai (18h00 à 21h00)

Il y a un bail que le Québec s’est libéré de sa camisole de force face aux principes sexuels : au moins deux générations ont vécu la révolution sexuelle résultant de la renonciation de l’hypocrisie de l’église Catholique. Toutefois, les images positives, représentatives, et inspirés de sentiments amoureux sont difficiles à trouver.

Vingt-sept artistes québécois expriment leurs sentiments et opinions auprès l’érotisme, le romanticisme, l’amour et la sexualité dans une soirée d’art multidisciplinaire, dans une exposition qui s’appelle L’art chaud: explorations dans l’érotique.

Contributing artists from around the world are participating in this critical part and new chapter in the exhibition of A Book About Death at MoMA Wales, organized by Sonja Benskin Mesher RCA, including the original postcards from the Emily Harvey Foundation exhibition in NYC.

OPENING EVENT: TUESDAY APRIL 27th starting 10 am.
A ceremonial unpacking of the original postcards from New York City will be installed in silence, while the names of the artists will be written into ‘The Book of the Living’.

A Book About Death is a collaborative project conceived by American artist Matthew Rose for the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York City, where the original exhibition took place from September 10 – 22, 2009. The exhibition paid special homage to Ray Johnson (1927-1995), acknowledged as the “Father of Mail Art”. And the project, in its sprawling global reach explored how we celebrate memory and death.”

The exhibition opened with a packed house, and a line snaking up Broadway more than 500 people long waiting to get in the doors to make their own book. Since then, the exhibition has traveled to MUBE - Museu Brasileiro da Escultura in Sao Paulo, Brazil; Otis College of Art and Design in LA; The River Mill Art Gallery in New Jersey; The Mobius Gallery in Boston, MA; The Queens Museum in Queens, NY; San Diego State University in Calexico, CA; as well as other venues in Belgium, Sarajevo and Croatia.

Complete sets of “A Book About Death" have entered into the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NYC, and the LA County Museum of Art Research Library.
