All Tomorrow’s Parties
If you are near Montreal between now and January 19th you have to check out the Andy Warhol exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts (fellow Ottawans, 180km is close enough!).
It’s a phenomenal exhibition of this amazing artist (and I have seen a few) as the focus is not on his actual art but rather his influence on Dance and Music – two art forms he was not engaged in directly.
Curator did a great job going slightly out of the box with two experiential rooms: one giving a taste of the Silver Factory and another tributing the Velvet Underground, one of the groundbreaking bands of the late 60’s.
Other special sections describe Warhol’s relationships with Merce Cunningham, Rudolf Nureyev, Martha Graham, John Cage, Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Madonna and others.
If you have not yet found a good enough reason to visit Montreal this winter (as if), then this is it! Go see it!
