I'm going to the opening tonight. The AGYU's media for this show has been hilarious! Check out these snippets that I scanned from their newsletter. (For anyone who doesn't know, Philip Monk is the curator at the AGYU.)

I'm digging this a lot so far. Not just because Philip Monk is being really funny, but because re-staging/re-visiting G.I. at a Canadian university art gallery is just a really good idea.
