You have another week to catch the exhibit Les Vases Communicants by Laurent Craste at Circa

Entering the room you’ll see a re-creation of a typical conservative foyer: an oriental rug, wallpaper, and an armoire topped with two large urns and a decorative plate. It’ll take you a second or two to realize that the classical decorative motifs on the urns and the plate are moving! They are in fact video projections which reinterpret the standard embellishments of your run-of-the-mill objet d’art. Take a while to view all three projections. They are both humorous and sad, each a play on the concept of the “vie morte”. My favourite is the male nudes model striking various poses and the slowly disintegrating kitschy flowers.
