Summary
A veritable audiovisual immersion into the world of Leonard Cohen, this virtual exhibition establishes a dialogue between his oeuvre and contemporary art. The universality of Cohen’s predominant themes (Poetic Thought; Spirituality & Humility; Love; Loss & Longing) illuminate his poetry and vast musical repertoire. Here, a wealth of documentation provides access to artworks and audio and video content, songs, poems, interviews and self-portraits, further deepening the essence of his work. Come visit the exhibition in person at the fairgrounds or explore the virtual exhibition through your phone or computer.
