Art in Odd Places / Tom Bogaert / Double Portraits

Based on religious sticker stamps purchased in the church shop of the 'Monastery of the Magnificat of the Mother of God' in Québec, Bogaert will create a series of portraits of contemporary icons. For example, scribbling on a stamp of Mary -- the mother of Jesus - results in a spitting image of Osama Bin Laden. Seated at a lemonade stand, Bogaert invites bystanders to witness the stamp transformations and gives the public the opportunity to buy the original stickers and new icons for twenty-five cents each.

October 1-10 from 5-7pm

Located on the sidewalk in front of 'Our Lady of Guadalupe' church on 328 W 14th Street. 2500 sticker stamps will also be available for distribution during the festival.
