Sarah Milroy wrote a funny review of the current MOCCA exhibition, Love/Hate
"Traditionally, it is the role of the museum to sort through a particular theme, idea or art scene or movement," they write in the exhibition notes, "and arrive at a proposition that will distill an idea down to a palatable, life-force-sucking antiseptic theory that assumes the audience's need for clean, easily definable and consumable product."R.M. Vaughan shouldn't be the only one who references blow jobs in art reviews.
Well, far be it from me to engage in "life-force sucking." Certainly not on the first date. But I have trouble swallowing the idea that it is enough for the curators merely to celebrate "the unruly spirit, the gnarly soul, the dirt in the groves, the talent, the eccentricity, the beauty and the unappealing splendour of it all." Who has been handing out the acid-laced popsicles down there? I want some.

The KWAG Biennial is on CAFKA.TV. There's a interview with me (warning: don't watch if you have an aversion to big fat chipmunk cheeks) and a video by Annie Dunning, who is in the show. click on the podcasts link for the most recent videos.
Just watched the live feed on Conrad Black verdict on CBC from the Chicago courthouse.
Guilty on a few counts of mail fraud, not guilty on the wire fraud and racketeering charges, most serious guilty verdict is Obstruction of Justice, based on the security video of Black and his chauffeur removing 13 boxes of incriminating documents from his Toronto office in the middle of the night.

Sally's curation of Woodlot: The 3rd KW|AG Biennial opens tonight (Wednesday) and a few of us are driving to Waterloo (or Kitchener, or a combination of both, whatever, I love car rides, are we there yet?) to see the show and deliver all the somewhat repellent and creepy perved-out hugs that I know you want to send to her.
