Thank you thank you to L.M. for her gr-8 guest blogging! The good news is she's agreed to keep it up, so we'll both be posting for awhile.
I've been so engrossed in work that there's a bunch of things I neglected to write about. The following is a quick list, off the top of my head:
Angela Leach! Angela Leach! Her work is so pretty I just had to steal this jpeg from the Wynick Tuck website. Leach's amazing painting stole the show at the already pretty cool exhibition Dimensionality, that Andy Patton curated for YYZ. Exhibition is on until Oct. 22.
The interminable CBC lockout. Is the damn station ever coming back on the air or what? I can't even decide if I care.... I have always liked the idea of the CBC more than the real CBC. Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure I still want Canadian public radio and TV, even if it mostly sucks! Does anybody else care (other than the employees of course, for whom I have great sympathy)? What gives?
Gene Threndyle and friends (so sorry I didn't catch everyone's name) singing in exchange for dollars at the Queen West Art Crawl. They had a modified roulette wheel for selecting songs. If your spin ended up on "Brit Pop" the one guy (Mark?) with a voice as deep as L.Cohen would do a kickass Britney Spears number for you (my favourite).
Michael Maranda's sweet conceptual art show at Akau: a bound set of the great works of philosophy, true to length, but only the punctuation with spaces where the words had been removed. Exhibition is on until Oct.15.
John Porter's new website! www.super8porter.ca
Brock Silversides' kitsch-fix exhibition of vinyl dance album covers at the Media Commons, Robarts Library (2nd floor). Exhibition is on until Nov. 1st.
Our show in Sudbury looks great! Rebecca Diederichs and Gordon Hicks made art that blew me away, our curator, Corinna Ghaznavi, put it all together beatifully, and the director, Celeste Scopiletes, was amazing. There was a really good turn out for the opening/performance and people were engaged and talkative afterwards. Von Bark brought the keyboard and played a perfect plinking sound sculpture accompaniement to the lecture. And Lara Bradley wrote a really good article about the show in the Sudbury Star (one of the best reviews of my work ever). Yay Sudbury! I am really thrilled with the show (also thrilled I don't have to work on it anymore for awhile), and I'm very glad it is going on next year to Directore/Curator Jan Allen at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston.
