Instead of a cup of camomile tea, head to Galerie Lilian Rodriguez and check out the exhibition Teach Me Tonight which features works by Jacynthe Carrier, Sylvain Cousineau, Suzanne Déry, Jannick Deslauriers, Jean-Marc Mathieu Lajoie, Sylvie Moisan, Elena Willis, and Jason Sanchez.

Each artist took a different take on the idea of “night”. For some, like Suzanne Déry, the night is a place of dark whimsy where time ticks by more slowly as you’re counting the stars. For Jannick Deslauries the night is a time where you fade into a dreamworld which connects you to every other human on Earth. I was especially impressed by his piece Léthé, a large-scale work composed of various loosely sewn-together strips of white fabric onto which he stitched a group of sleeping figures. Superimposed onto the sleepers are a tumble of roots, drawing the dreamers into a colourless underworld where the long threads of their thoughts intermingle into a group consciousness.
Definitely worth seeing before bedtime.
