Sally & I will be playing Nuit Badminton (not retardminton, as the worst art critic in Canada calls our beautiful game) and I'm letting Bat-boy loose in the crowds so that he can eat children.

And don't forget to loudly ask: "Haven't I seen some of this installation at Zsa Zsa? Why isn't that mentioned in the PR from York? Is that what they meant by Queen Street West Storefront Exhibitions? Isn't it easier and faster just to write Zsa Zsa? Now why would the AGYU not do that? Is everyone mad at each other now?"

[update: Info about Paul Petro and Zsa Zsa is on the pdf file, just not on the mailed print version]

alchemy
Emblem XVII from Michael Maier,Atalanta fugiens (Oppenheim: Hieronymus Gallerus, J. Theodorus de Bry, 1618). Borrowed from Hyle

"The historians who make alchemy their particular interest are sometimes looked on as eccentrics: their methodology may be impeccable (I mean, good archival research, sound iconographic analyses), but their choice of subject matter makes them suspect. In that respect art historians who are interested in alchemy become one further example of the oil-and-water problem of mixing alchemy with any ‘legitimate’ discipline." - excerpt & illustration from James Elkins' Four Ways of Measuring the Distance Between Alchemy and Contemporary Art (2003)

Tower In The Forest 2007 Bamboo, Rattan, Iron, 1500 x 1500 x 2700 cm

While installing at the tree museum we had the pleasure of making the aquaintance of Wang Wen-Chih, an artist from Taiwan, who constructed the wonderful Tree House (my images don't do it justice). These installation images are from an exhibition in Taiwan at the Plaza of Chiayi County Hall.
