According to this coolhunting link on Brian Jungen's show at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in NYC:
"This is the Vancouver based artist's first show in North America..."

Does anyone else recall the NATO intervention in Vancouver in the late 90's? Their brutal civil war was threatening to destabilize all the neighbouring Balkan states.

Other than that, I got nothin', because geography is so uncool.

ow. I always thought Seattle, San Franciso, and NYC were in North America too.

I liked that igloo that was at YYZ, but I really liked this whale skeleton made from plastic lawn chairs that was at the Power Plant. The picture above is from the Secession in 2003.

sorry to be corrective but, that's from the or gallery in 2000

Don't worry about being corrective, this is the pissy thread. The original typo is pretty trivial, but I read it as very condescending to Jungen. (because I'm in a crabby mood)

oh sorry. Glad you are corrective. I pulled the image from Secession's site, but the piece was shown all over. I saw it here at PP. I think Jungen is a really good artist, and in my mind he's a super artstar, so L.M.'s original post caught me as kind of funny and humbling. I thought everybody'd heard of him.
