Sandra Rechico's TOP EIGHT (she got distracted)
In no particular order
Atsuko Tanaka
Mind and Matter: Alternative Abstractions, 1940s to Now MOMA
A great show in the gallery near the bathroom and café. When I asked about a catalogue they said no, but they would be releasing the book below soon (because of course making a catalogue from a show with only women in it isn’t worth it But making a catalogue where you include ALL of them means you needn’t do it again for some time) sheesh
Modern Women: Women Artists at The Museum of Modern Art
Edited by Cornelia Butler and Alexandra Schwartz
Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present MOMA
makes up for how cranky I was with the abovementioned no catloguer
Shary Boyle AGO
beautiful
Arnaud Maggs Susan Hobbs
these are funny, smart and beautiful
David Hoffos MOCCA and the NGC
I liked the NGC install better, but either way, it was fantastic
Moshe Safdie NGC
the models are worth the price of admission
[some images of models here]
 
Natalie Purschwitz’s Makeshift Project Vancouver
she made all of her own clothes for one year and documented it. The year ended
in 2010
Art School (dismissed) The decommissioned Shaw Street School, Toronto
All right, self-serving, I was in it, but so were scads of others and there wasn’t one bad piece in it. Hats off to Heather Nichol for organizing it.
