Central Terminal on Paderewski Drive, Buffalo NY.

Lewis Colburn - War Room 2008 mixed media

The catastrophic and on-going CRISIS IN ART CRITICISM has thrown the curators in a total tizzy Kats_sm4 and as a result a modified - kitteh has no eyes - version of my
Shape Shifting Kitteh (thanks for the title mark) will be shown as a video projection.

Gordon Hicks will also be installing his lovely Light Rain Tonight, a work that we've previously featured on this blog.

[...update...]

Hallwalls' director, John Massier, (who is probably the most bewildered of the above mentioned curators) just sent me an installation test image of the kittehs in Buffalo.

Anthony Easton of pink moose is in Toronto and he's got an opening tomorrow night at 7:00 at Type Books, 883 Queen St. West. Rumour has it there will be a lot of very nice photographs at nice affordable prices.

I'm in agreement with what Terence Dick wrote on akimblog
"Katie Bethune-Leaman’s work is also funny, but in a macabre way. As is her wont, she twists pop culture references in unexpected directions. Here she posits the corpse of slain rapper Tupac Shakur as a farm bed for mushrooms. A series of delicate drawings and an accompanying sculptural assemblage brings her musings on hip-hop fungi to light."
(please note it is much more fun to disagree with Terence Dick)

golden compass

We finally watched The Golden Compass. I don't understand why people seem to hate it so much. I loved the books, and thought the movie was perfectly entertaining: non-stop action with no draggy bits, groovy dirigibles, suitably cute daemons animated just fine, better-than competent and charismatic child acting, creepy Nicole Kidman, faithful to the dark scary stuff in the books, faithful to the kid-like P.O.V. of Lyra/Pan. The only complaint I had was that Ian McKellen was mis-cast as the Gandalf voice for Iorek Byrnison. That bear shoulda been less of a sage and more of a roust-a-bout. Otherwise, it was fun and I wish they were going to make the rest of the trilogy. Also, the website has a quiz you can fill out to get a daemon assigned (click on "daemons"). Mine is an osprey. If I was 8 again I would be in heaven.
