Bill Burns ... sardonic, suave and smart as whip. He has a nice show on right now at Michael Klein's gallery on Ossington called Some Dogs and Boats and Airplanes.
The show ends on Saturday, so drop by this week if you want to see it. There are a couple of really funny letter-writing projects. I don't want to give spoilers, so take my word for it, but here's a hint, there's some fun for those of us who love to hate Fantino and some more fun for people who are sick to death of yogurt yogurt everywhere yogurt as if yogurt was the answer to all of life's ills. Also a funny watercolour treat for Toronto artists who have been snubbed by Toronto curators. And, of course, a lot of very cute doggies.

Gabrielle Moser has written an interesting post on some issues with community art projects that were brought to mind with Darren O'Donnell & Mammallian Diving Reflex's The Duel in The 'Dale: Parkdale Public School v. Queen West. She indicates that the humour behind using these kids in adult roles might have something sinister behind it.
I'd say that his humour in working/using kids isn't sinister. I know because mine is. I laugh when they fall over. Other than that I don't want to be around them most of the time. That may be why his work exerts a hold on me. I love the controlled anarchy that comes with the illusion of power swapping that he's created.
(Did I just make an argument for that position? I feel tricked.)
