The Big Swing, Skol Gallery, Montreal, 2006

This exhibit is all about pleasure and punishment. It is also about deterrence, retributivism, extreme behaviours, wrong doings, tabloid news, excitement and heavenly promises. Assymetric warfare vs. unproportional retaliation, the game of human stupidity at its highest form. Let’s play and enjoy our assured mutual destruction. My last wish : I would like to have one of these swelling minstrels on the ladder of the gallows, playing Love is a many splendored thing at my hanged, drawn and quartered bagpipe.
