LM's top ten (in no particular order)
1. Cafka.04 or any year! Everything you want to see in a group show in a Civic centre, excited artists and an excited public.
http://www.contemporaryartforum.ca/main/main.html
2. Wade - Another terrific group project, and I agree with Sally that the misanthropic Gene Threndyle did a marvellous piece.

3. Daniel Barrow "The face of Everything" closing night at Images Festival.
His own web site is: http://www.danielbarrow.com
4. Kate Wilson's "Cool Lustre" at Katharine Mulherin (I like the greasy paintings the best!)
http://168.144.171.147/kmart/exhibitions/a_artist.asp?id=167
Her listing on the CCCA site is: http://www.ccca.ca/artists/artist_info.html?languagePref=en&link_id=5492&artist=Kate+Wilson
5. David Shrigley's transit posters up around Toronto during the Contact festival.
His own web site is: http://www.davidshrigley.com/
6. John Dickson's "Cold War" at Cambridge galleries http://www.cambridgegalleries.ca/cambridge.taf?section=2
(probably because I saw "Das Boot" seven times and cried when the Kursk sunk.)
7. Julie Voyce at AGYU
http://www.yorku.ca/agyu/exhibitions/wiflfag.html
8. 640 480 video embroidery machine at Zsa Zsa
http://www.640480.com
9. Fastwurms with Michael Barker at Zsa Zsa, loved the wood grained mac-tac pirate ship wall and loved Andrew Harwood's moving role in the video as man-dressed-as-a-pirate-waving-a-phoney-sword-and-yelling-aaaaarrrrrrgggggggg
10. Going to the local video store, just looking to rent some fluffy movie with costumes, and picking up Alexander Sokurov's "Russian Ark", watched it three times that evening, once with the commentary, then watched the "making of...", then brought it over to a friend's house and watched it again, (but probably spoiled the whole experience for her, since I wouldn't shut up about it.)
If the list could have gone to 11 I would have added the 640480 video embroidery too, but I'm just saying that because I forgot that show and can't believe I did. Totally belongs in any Top 10 list.
