Robert Therrien: Works 1975–1995
02/10/2016
This exhibition, Robert Therrien’s first major solo exhibition in Europe, consists of works from the first 20 years of his artistic career. It includes sculptures, reliefs and works on paper, executed in a variety of media at a crucial period within the artist’s oeuvre. The exhibition together with its accompanying publication mark a significant contribution to the history of contemporary art, and is especially important as a number of the early works are held in private collections and have not been shown publicly for many years.

Now is the time to take those classes to boost your confidence and your co-workers will be very impressed with your skills. What you thought was going to be a bad things, turns out better than you could imagine. A misunderstanding with a loved one can only be resolved if the both of you can admit you were wrong. Don`t believe everything the others are saying, talk to each other face to face.

Gemini

You are concerned with your goals and wishes today. But don`t forget to show your sensitive side when a mate wants to argue with you. Take this time to understand that you don`t always have to be right. After all the hard work you have done over the last few months, it feels good to have a day that is rather quiet. Communication with others goes well. Chat with those friends you have lost touch with over the pat few months and catch up on the good ole gossip.

Cancer

This would be a good day to sit down with your mate and go over the household chore list. Even when your heart is in the right place you don`t always have the time to complete your responsibility of the chores. Now is the time to watch that spending with the moon in bad aspect to Saturn in your own sign today. Avoid gambling and others forms of speculating. It is time to sit down and balance your personal budget and control your spending on frivolous items. A loved one may be leaving to go on a trip.

Leo

It`s a good day to tell the person that you have had your eye on, just how you feel. You might encounter some objection from this person, but make sure that you make your point in your most persuasive attitude. Reassure a friend that is having second thoughts about that career change, it is for the better and they should not pass up the opportunity, try not to put yourself in a financial strain with that unexpected bill. Make arrangements to pay in instalments.

Virgo

This day will find you keeping that balance between work and home life. Everyone is demanding your time. Try and remember you are only one person, so do what you can. Take some time for yourself. Brace yourself dear Virgo. Private matters and secrets need to be kept that way. Be careful of loose lips and don`t say anything you know you can`t take back later. Don`t let these distractions cause you to let things go at your place of work. The afternoon looks to be brighter if you just buckle down and take care of business.

Libra

You could find that you have found a new friend today. This person could have a totally different personality than what you have always preferred, but go ahead and take a chance anyway.

Early afternoon shopping with a friend could lead to meeting someone who intrigues you with their exotic looks and accent to match.

Capricorn

It`s time for you to dig out those walking shoes and start walking for your health. Start eating healthy and stay away from fast food places. Someone you meet today may delight you with their unique taste and sense of humor. This could be the start of something big. Get back on track with that issues at hand and let yourself focus on the deadlines you have at work. Daydreaming is fun, but it doesn`t pay the bills. So get to work dear heart.

Aquarius

The mood of your co-workers and Supervisors is so upbeat, that you are not going to worry about all the long hours that you are going to be expected to put in. When you believe in something, all you can think of is how happy you are. Even though you know it is difficult to swallow your pride, you must. Your relationship may depend on you saying I am sorry. Relationships are hard work if you want them to last and if you bend a little so will your partner and it could be a wonderful start to getting things back on track.

Pisces

This is a good day for you and your mate to go over the checkbook and find where all the money has been going. Now is the time for you and your mate to see where you can cut expenses, and start saving some money for your investments. Don`t pay attention to the talk of others. Face the facts about what is going on here. The jealousy of others can cause problems with you and your partner if you let it. Don`t let silly gossip sabotage your love life.
