La Petite Mort Gallery presents...ONE NIGHT ONLY Exhibit
" LE SUPPLICE "
Theo Pelmus + Stefan Pelmus / Father & Son
Thursday October 8, 2009 / 7 - 10pm
Performance by Theo Pelmus
Tunes by Big Mac Daddy
Proudly sponsored by CKCU 93.1 FM
Theo Pelmus and his Father, the renowned Romanian painter Stefan Pelmus, will present a collaborative body of work focusing on the idea of “supplice”. After not having seen his father for four years the performer Theo Pelmus is re-evaluating the father/son relationship through this collaborative process. Theo’s self-portraits and male nudes are altered by the symbols of Stefan’s painting. The painted symbols of “fleurs du mal” ostracize the body of the son. Cronos, who eats his sons, is a starting point of this collaboration and the symbol of sacrifice which shifts from the son’s to the father’s perspective. The Orthodoxy of the East meets the Atheism of the West.
Not to be missed.
Thank you,
Guy Berube, director
