it seems the ‘school age’ walking stick is stuck at the border
the stick made it to L’aéroport international Montréal-Trudeau
and made friends with airport staff!!

and where was it off to you wonder?
no where fast!

i am going to put my money on ‘trouble at security’
“what do you mean ? this stick a threat? can you not see the art in action?!?”
this fine airport staff informs me that the stick is laid up in the airport’s lost & found!
i am all at once delighted and distraught
this is the main airport that sets me free on the world
a place i am fond of, filled with memories (…where were you when you heard Michael Jackson was dead? i was at the montreal airport)
AND just imagine all of the amazing other contents of a montreal airport lost & found!
i made a plea for the stick to be set free
it is on a great journey
it is meant to wander
only time and the interest of strangers will tell
my thanks to my collaborators at the airport
you are part of the art
travel well ‘school age’ stick
…try the bus.

spent some time amongst the buildings
watched the sun rise
spied on montreal as it awoke
inspiring

a tiny injection of montreal
went for a bubble bath, the Mathieu Laca show, and a couple of quick cold strolls





no snaps of the bubble bath
merci montreal
c’est le ton qui fait ta chanson

while in montreal on saturday i stole this snap at the Tom Wesselmann retrospective at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
(i later learned that photos were allowed. ha!)
Tom Wesselmann Smoker No. 1, on show at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
the show is a good one
his early work spoke loudly to me
starting with collage then moving to the female nude
with nods to the greats
i feel a kindred spirit
his later steel-cut work is impressive, but i like the nudes
i found great, yet subtle, humour throughout
the documentation accompanying the art was also of great interest to me
i take to pop art one artist at a time
my gratitude to Mr. Wesselmann for his body of work and the inspiration it provided

what does heARTbeatgal do when she is craving inspiration?
she flees
(and speaks in the third person?)
new perspectives
re-energized
ready to paint
