Habuimus Papam – Henriette Valium
April 26 to May 29 | Maison de la culture Janine-Sutto
The Maison de la culture Janine-Sutto is proud to present an immersion in the amphigouric universe of the multidisciplinary artist Henriette Valium.
Comics, video, music and paintings will be on display in the exhibition Habuimus papam – Nous avions un pape, a body of work by this extraordinary artist who left us on September 1st and who remains, for all time, one of the major figures of the invigorating underground movement that emerged in Montreal in the 1980s. In addition to his marked influence on the generations that followed him, he leaves behind a considerable body of work, provocative and marginal, protean and abundant, sometimes enigmatic, free of all compromise, which he pursued inexorably for more than four decades, reflecting an integrity that we wish to salute. Valium knew the sweet and endless labor that art requires to reach the madness of the eyes.
