While I was in Victoria I met a very groovy installation artist, Wendy Welch. You can see her work online here. I was also inspired by Wendy because she started her own school, the Vancouver Island School of Art. It's an alternative art school with a really great vibe. Wendy is writing something about the curatorial Residency Exhibition I did at Open Space for Victoria's Monday Magazine. We did a little email interview for the piece and, since it is the closest I've come to writing about the experience I'm posting it below in the comments section.
The show, Residency Exhibition, runs at Open Space until March 6. The artists are Marlene Bouchard, Troi Donnelly, Sandra Doore, Rachel Evans, Pete Gazendam, Emily Goodden, Roy Green, Miles Hunter, Rebekah Johnson, Ingrid Klasen, Devon Knowles, Thomas Koivukangas, Judah Kong, Daniel Laskarin, James Lindsay, Miles Lowry, John Luna, Katie Lyle, Brian MacDonald, Mike McLean, Rob McTavish, Marketa, Peter Morin, Bradley Muir, Brenda Patays, Shelley Penfold, Judith Price, Shawn Shepherd, Cathleen Thom, Elizabeth Thomson, Joanne Thomsom, Rhonda Usipiuk and Dallas V. Duobaitis

Joyce Wieland - Bear and Spirit of Canada 1971 bronze, 8 x 19.5 x13.2 cm

(The kind I send out all the time) He demanded to know: "HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT JOYCE WEILAND DID A SCULPTURE WHERE THE SPIRIT OF CANADA IS FUCKED BY A BEAR"
Well, knowledge is power in the short run, dear heart, and we withhold a lot of information on this blog in order to manipulate
