TONY FOUHSE: ARTIST TALK @ La Petite Mort Gallery / Sunday 5 September 2010 at 4 p.m.

Tony Fouhse: User Men
Artist’s Talk at La Petite Mort Gallery, Ottawa
Sunday 5 September 2010 at 4 p.m.

“Since 2007 I’ve been going to the corner of Cumberland and Murray Streets in Ottawa, over and over again, obsessed. Obsessed with photographing the feel and the face of the small society of crack addicts that make that corner their home. I work with the cooperation and acceptance of the addicts I’m photographing. They know me, I know them. We have an understanding. The work I’m doing there feels like collaboration.” (Tony Fouhse, 2010)

You’ve seen the photographs, you know the work, now come and hear the artist talk about his work.

Presented in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition, “Tony Fouhse: User Men,” taking place at LPM from 3-26 September, 2010, we would like to invite you to hear Tony speak about his work on Sunday 5 September 2010 at 4 p.m. Tony’s talk will be 45 minutes and will be followed by a question period. The talk is free of charge and is open to the public.

This is the first in a series being developed by Julie Hodgson, Development Maven, to assist the public and our clients to become more familiar with the art world, to understand art more clearly, to learn how to start a collection, and to get information on how to care for and exhibit their works.

Other talks and workshops are being developed for the fall, including talks about how to start a collection and how to frame and display your work. Our goal is to develop a group of collectors who meet once a month to get a behind-the-scenes look at the fascinating world of art and artists. Please come and join us for this series.
