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.
We are asking the guest curators to make their own interpretations in whatever artwork to exhibit with a local artist, a work from their private collection, & even found-anonymous works.

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.

Ashkan Honarvar / Collages / curated by 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.
