Of People who Live(d) in Joliette, Quebec
I don’t think I have met you, or maybe I have here, in Montreal, and never asked where you grew up. I certainly haven’t yet visited your town, although I have always thought it has a rather sweet name, the name of a best friend you secretly had a crush on all through high school.
But I might just meet you soon, as this art exhibition currently at the Musee d’art de Joliette featuring work by Diane Landry looks as magical and mysterious and playful as my real high-school crush seemed to be.
And one of my real-life current art-crushes, Adrian Norvid, who did wondrous things for Art Pop last year (the photo here was part of his installation for the Notman House) and who continues to inspire me with his intelligent silliness, is also inhabiting space at the same gallery right now.
Norvid stays until May of next year, but Landry’s work goes down the 4th of January, so I highly recommend getting on a bus on your lonesome (or in pairs) and getting out there soon to see some fantastic art and to meet some of the Joliette locals, who I bet are very crush-worthy.
