Tino's Top Ten art picks for 2004:
1. Rev Billy at XSpace, International Festival of Performance Art
http://www.7a-11d.ca/2004/2004.html
Riveting performance in front of a packed house. Followed by an anti-corporate intervention after the show. Inspiring.

2. Kurt Swinghammer: Augusta CD
Sweet, nostalgic and best written album bout Toronto since Scott B's "Neil Yonge Street".

3. Olia Mischenko Mercer Union
Olias' other-worldly miniature drawings were literally being rubbed off the walls by peoples' noses that night.

6. Toronto Graffiti Art Scene - Style in Progress Festival, July 2-4
It just gets better and better. Empty walls say nothing.

7. Cloaca Wim Delvoyle, Power Plant Gallery
Surprise. We are the art. Wim said: 'In New York, they were all worried about the hygienic aspects of the machine. In Europe, people just wanted to know what it all meant. In Toronto, they just ask: "How does it work?"

8. Graeme Perry: Laneing (Web Project)
Most inspiring online project. Documenting the underbelly of Toronto.

9. Toronto Subway Station Buttons, Public Space Committee
Simple, brilliant and fun.
