About
The Guests is an exhibition of portraits by the New Zealand painter Yvette Byrd. The paintings have been traveling in her suitcase and will be unpacked for hanging. Exhibition in a suitcase.
Behind the subjects (uninvited and invited guests) is a story of intuited clannish connection and slightly nefarious dealings.
There will be an opening night on Wednesday 3rd August at 6PM.
“One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The openhearted many
The broken-hearted few
And those who dance, begin to dance
Those who weep begin
And “Welcome, welcome” cries a voice
Let all my guests come in.
And no one knows where the night is going
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The broken hearted many
The open hearted few
Oh . . . I need you, I need you, I need you ….now”
Leonard Cohen.
