Cornetto Algida - Heart of cream
September 3, 2009 
This is a photograph I took in Florence in 1984 while a friend and I were traveling in Italy. My eye was caught by the overtly sexual way the horizontal young man in the poster is offering his ice cream cone to the two rapturous women. Sex is often used in advertising in subtle ways, but this is definitely not one of them.
The photograph Cornetto Algida will be on display from September 4 to October 3, 2009 at Ça décoiffe, a barber shop in Montreal. Barber Daniel Haché organizes monthly group exhibitions at his haircutting salon on Papineau Avenue. The theme of the current show is Pop Art.
Ça décoiffe is located at 4526 Papineau Avenue (map) next to La Tulipe. Feel free to drop in to view Cornetto Algida and the photographs of the other participants in the show.
The barber shop is open Thursday (9:00-6:00), Friday (12:00-8:00), Saturday (9:00-4:00), Sunday (10:00-5:00) and Monday (9:00-6:00).
You're welcome to attend the opening of the Pop Art show. The opening will be on September 4, 2009 at 9:00 PM ... the night of the full moon!
