The artists and party goers left with the dawn. And with their parting, like Cinderella at the stroke of midnight, the gallery reverted back to its original state, no longer a powerful institution, just an ordinary 4 1/2. The white walls seem to lack authority and purpose now, and the rooms are quiet for the first time in over a week. Yesterday, we celebrated Andrew and Keltie’s presence here, and the conclusion of the Sherbrooke chapter of the Miscellaneous Incorporated Residency program. It will continue, or so the plan goes, in the fall or spring, in Portland, Oregon.
This Thursday night, Keltie, Andrew and I went to Le Mare au Diable (the devil’s pond) for drinks and conversation. The interview, “SHIT AND DIAMONDS”, was an extraordinary one, and I suggest you give it a listen.
PART ONE follows a formal interview format, PART TWO starts along similar lines but quickly goes somewhere else, curtesy of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey and the local Scotch Ale.
