DRAMA OF THE GIFTED CHILD - PASADENA

June 28 – August 30, 2009
Opening Reception Saturday, June 27, 7-9p.m.

This exhibition looks to the process of MFA programs as a point of reference to allegorize the relationship to the child in terms of careers in the arts.

The exhibition references the title of a famous book by psychoanalyst Alice Miller which examines the loss of self that occurs in childhood or how you experience mixed messages at large and the subsequent process by which an adult can retrieve his or her identity that was misplaced in earlier years. Artists selected for this exhibition have completed an MFA art program within the past five years and through this process of acceptance and loss, of identity, support, recognition and tension have continued to create new pieces of work.

Artists include Dan Bayles, Julie Orser, Julie Lequin, John Knuth, Marco Rios, Christopher Russell, Amy Robinson, Spencer Douglass, Bari Ziperstein, and Kelly Sears.

MEMOI, LORANGE, PLAMONDON - OTTAWA

ONE NIGHT ONLY: Memoi + Jonathan Lorange + Charlotte

An exhibition profiling, Memoi Fashion, Jonathan Lorange photography, and the modeling portfolio of Charlotte Plamondon

Saturday June 27.2009
La Petite Mort Gallery
306 Cumberland Ottawa
7.pm to 10.pm

ME et MOI are Jessica Struthers, Ashley Struthers, and Emma Campbell. Their collections are an amalgamation of historical references from the 50’s and 60’s and contemporary designs. From season to season their collections have been locally distributed and sold in various retail outlets with great success. After a triumphant showing at Ottawa Fashion Week 2008, they are now planning to show their new collection at Toronto Fashion Week this coming fall.

JONATHAN LORANGE approaches each project as a challenge. He believes that the image has to lead to an intimate encounter between the subject and the viewer, that there is a need to direct one’s vision to a privileged place. His primary passion and dedication to human interest photography has broadened the scope of his work as a photographer in more diverse art forms. Jonathan is completing his Ph.D. in political science at the University of Ottawa.

CHARLOTTE PLAMONDON is a talented individual showing a great personal interest in theater and fashion modeling. Her portfolio was recently produced under the art direction of Vincenzo Pagliaro. It has recieved positive interest from agencies in Toronto, Milan, and London. At present, a prominent New-York agency has expressed an interest in her work as a model. Charlotte is planning to study economics at McGill University.

LYNDA CLARE GRANT - OTTAWA

La Petite Mort Gallery presents....

LYNDA CLARE GRANT
ONE NIGHT ONLY Exhibit
Friday July 10, 2009 / 7 - 10pm
Tunes by Big Mac Daddy
Proudly sponsored by CKCU 93.1 FM

There is a spiritual essence to the process [of making art] and fulfillment in its experience. There a dialogue between my brush in hand, the paint and the canvas surface. It's a dance that never seems to end; it only stops once in a while to take another breathe. I use a variety of mixed media in my work, usually layering with acrylic, collage, and often ending with the juiciness of oil paint. From an over 23 year career as a massage therapist, the human form is most familiar to me, therefore, figurative representation is typically found in my work. I am a story teller....painting only for me....but occasionally, finding the courage to share it with others. It's a life-long struggle of releasing pieces of my soul, falling without a safety net, touching ground, then risking the leap again! Lately, I have been working on a series using my fingers as brushes....I guess you could say I have a'knead' to massage the figures into the canvas---is it a little toxic?...maybe. Is it a fun?...you bet!

Thank you,

Guy Berube, director
