Feist is joining French artist Sophie Calle in Montréal.
At the heart of this exhibition is a break-up e-mail that the artist received from a lover, which ends with the line “Take Care of Yourself”. Sophie Calle decided to do just that. “I received an email telling me it was over...I asked 107 women (including two made from wood and one with feathers), chosen for their profession or skills, to interpret this letter...”
Originally produced for the French Pavilion at the 2007 Venice Biennale, PRENEZ SOIN DE VOUS consists of texts, photos, films and voices of 107 women of all ages who interpret the break-up letter through their various professions. This poetic and often touching project speaks to us all about our relation to the loved one.
Feist will be performing at the gallery this evening and is one of the 107 featured in the piece. For more information, go to http://www.dhc-art.org/
