Corinne Carlson Billboards various locations (from 2000 on)
via Jennifer McMackon in big RED & Shiny
And from Kim Fullerton writing in Xtra: "Corinne Carlson’s swanky billboard — reading "Baa?" — made of sequin-like reflective disks that sparkled and cavorted in the wind and the rain. Part of Logo City at Blackwood Gallery, Baa? teased us with an incomprehensible question and the promise of an answer like Pizza Pizza could never deliver."
Kraftwerk: Tour de France (everybody sing along, c'est fantastique)
Doggy hits stoned guy on bike (only interesting 2007 Tour de France news so far):
aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww
Last weekend our friends (and family) at TooBadDogs treated us to a state-of-the-art rock stadium spectacle: Roger Waters' staging of The Dark Side of The Moon.
It was very loud, with tight professionally choreographed sound, lighting, lazers, pyrotechnics, and video projection, including a swell old tube radio.
Roger himself was the rock-star of the evening, barking his dark lyrics and denounciations of G.W.Bush, but the real star of the evening was the moon:  The Dark Side of The Moon is one of the cultural foundations of my generation, so much so that we all now take it for granted. This particular event made me realize how perfect, in an artistic sense, this seemingly silly hippy set of metaphors is: MOON; MIND; PRISM; HEARTBEAT; Perfect in the sense of being potentuous and profound, yet completely open-ended, still to this day inviting interpretations about the interplay of these four simple symbols, loosely cobbled together by the Floyd and Hipgnosis Design. Will future generations look back upon this lunar prism as a cultural touchstone of the late 20th century? |

Photo by Jennifer Bedford Last week we had a great big packed-out opening for the show I curated, Woodlot: The 3rd KW|AG Biennial at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery featuring Ruth Abernethy, Kelly Borgers, Jefferson Campbell-Cooper, Susan Detwiler, Niall Donaghy, Andrika Dubeckyj, Annie Dunning, Fatima Garzan, Lauren Hall, Arnold Jacobs, Janet Morton, Marinko Pipunic, Red and Andrew Wright. 
I am really pleased with the show. Please read the catalogue, which is now available online. We haven't done full documentation of the installation yet, so some of the artists are not represented in these shots. The catalogue has images from everyone, as well as an essay that talks about each of the artists and bios with background information. Many many thanks to all the artists in the region who submitted work to our open call, and to the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery for giving me this incredible opportunity. The show is on until September 9th, so I hope everyone gets a chance to see it.  Woodlot: The 3rd KW|AG Biennial, installation view (artists represented: Marinko Pipunic, Fatima Garzan).
