AN ENCHANTING HOUR AND A HALF ALL TO MYSELF
Our annual outing with Anne, is usually to Versailles. If you have read my chapter on the excursion this year, you may well understand why Anne was not enthusiastic. She had reason to avoid it. A few weeks later after I had seen the Olafur Eliasson with Jerome and Laurent, Anne had left a message for me to say that a 15-minute video by a Canadian Artist at their cultural centre in Paris was definitely worth the visit. I looked at the photo and then onto the home page and nothing provoked an enthusiasm to go and see Michele Lemieux. We were in the middle of a heat-wave and everyone was feeling limp. One morning I gave myself a hard kick and said, « stop it, get out and see something ». Looking at my list there was nothing I really wanted to see. I would be seeing the last exhibition of the summer at Saint Pierre with Laurent the following week….Oh well, let’s trot off to the Canadian Cultural centre.
And my goodness, am I glad I did. Michèle Lemieux / The whole and its parts. From
