MOVEABLE FEAST:

The term “movable feast” was used by Ernest Hemingway to mean the  
memory of a splendid place that continues to go with the moving  
traveler for the rest of life, after he has had the experience of it  
and gone away.

Since opening the doors of La Petite Mort Gallery in October 2005, my  
vision for showing the subversive, the unseen & the ignored has
always be a very focused direction, but like any vision, variety is  
necessary. So for that reason, I chose to let 20 people “in the art  
business”
to make the selection of one artwork each, with a local artist, with  
a basic theme which could be th as they saw fit. That was my  
intention with “Moveable Feast”.


Gallerist Guy Bérubé of La Petite Mort Gallery, is shaking the  
cultural firmaments of the nation’s capital again! A refugee from  
New York’s downtown scene, Guy is known locally and internationally  
for sponsoring unforgettable art events at La Petite Mort Gallery in  
Ottawa’s Byward Market, as well as lending his design vision to  
local nightspots such as Overkill Bar. LPM’s artistic imperative to  
bouleverser the status quo has been a recent hit in exhibitions in  
Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Santiago (Chile) including Paris, New  
York, Toronto & Montreal.

*ALSO FEATURED:

Ashkan Honarvar / Collages curated bu Guy Berube

The saying goes that beauty comes in various sorts and shapes. Even  
in places least to expect. The human
body is one of many concepts in which beauty can reveal its art. Yet  
this beauty can also be absent in a cruel
way by the presence of deformations and scars. With this is mind  
Ashkan Honarvar (1980) is able to show
an undeniable and unavoidable beauty by accepting the darker sides of  
human body and mind, of which you
rather look away from.


Merci,
