In the coming months, Patti Smith's photography will be on display at Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario. Even better, though, the punk poet herself will be coming to the gallery for a pair of performances in March.
The exhibition, called Camera Solo, opens on February 9. Almost a month later, on March 7, Smith will swing by for a pair of back-to-back performances on the same night; the first show is at 7:30 in the evening and the second is at 9:45.
For the performances, she will be backed by her daughter, Jesse Paris Smith and Tony Shanahan. Admission is $15 for the public and $13 for gallery members. See Patti's full live schedule below.
Camera Solo features around 70 black and white photo prints, which appear alongside personal objects, and a Smith-directed film called Equation Daumal. It runs until May 19. Read about the exhibition and see some of the photographs at the AGO's website.
