L.M.'s Top Ten List of 2007 art things.
1. Fastwürms, DONKY@NINJA@WITCH @AGYU
What the fuck's wrong with Harwood, he has them at number four on his list and Sandra Rechico doesn't do much better by giving them a number three spot. And what other Canadian artists can draw so many people to their opening, that you actually have to avoid half of the crowd, ...because ...well ...it's complicated, trust me ...very awkward.
I really thought enough time had passed. ...I suppose I'm expected to apologize.
2. Rebecca Diederichs in Persona Volare's Granite Club, The Tree Museum, Gravenhurst, Ontario.
Whenever I was in her studio this past summer, she would show me a humungous amount of painted clothes pins, and yammer on about something or other to do with the painting of a humungous amount of clothes pins. I'd nod a lot, and wonder what the hell is she doing anyway. The finished installation was gorgeous. (I am not worthy to even hold her ladder steady, only Chantal Rousseau is.)
3. Julie Voyce at Tom Thomson in Owen Sound, Ontario
Even though she's all grown up now and no longer frames her work with mismatched dollar store materials held together with drywall screws and staples, the crazy still shines through with the rigour.
4. Chris Ashley's HTML Drawings.
5. Favourite jpegs that have appeared on this site (finally side by side as they should be)
(It looks to me like Allyson Mitchell's Hungry Purse has totally vanquished T's Michael the Archangel)
6 The Walrus for publishing and PAYING for work from amazing artists like Kate Wilson and Shary Boyle among many others, plus their recent issue on the Arctic was brilliant in every way.
7. Artfag
Tangerines in Red Net BagSimpleposie
8. The Royal Winter Fair plus Rob Cruickshank's GIF of our sexy friends at SEMEX™
9. I continue to love VVORK.
10. My Fucking Dog, yes my fucking dog.
Who turned out to be even more fun than this image of him that I first saw on a Lab adoption site six months ago. Bigger too. (and his breath doesn't stink anymore)
Simpleposie's top eleven is here.
