Interesting inquiry from Russell Smith in Thursday’s Globe about the language we use to describe smells.
I think my new favourite artist is Nicholas Knight, whose work is on exhibition at Gallery 44 until February 14th. Despite his work being relegated to the smaller gallery in the space (as well as the vitrines,) it packs a pretty wicked punch. Knight, in his seemingly site-specific installations, takes the mechanics of photographic display [...]
It’s opening night at the 401 Richmond building, so if you’re looking for something that’s warm, cozy and arty, come by the building for openings at A Space, Gallery 44, Red Head Gallery and YYZ Artists’ Outlet. You can see the Akimbo posting here and below, which include details about all of the exhibitions. A [...]

This is a presentation report that I did for my Art of Europe: 1960s to 1990s class last semester. It’s one of the few papers I wrote in the last few months that is appropriate to share here — a lot of my assignments were more exercise than essay. The Grand Subversion: Gruppo 63 and [...]
It’s been a quiet holiday on the blog front. Typically when I cap off a semester at school, I find the time to think about art outside of the limitations of my education. This year, however, I spend much of my free time using my hands — something I’ve purposely axed within my academic career [...]
Without any further comment, a passive aggressive note to the Internet, by Ben Bruneau.
Toronto’s Nuit Blanche is now just a day away. And although I’ve conducted my recommendations alphabetically, it also appears that I’ve saved the best for last. Zone C is looking good, and I can guarantee that the strongest concentration of Nuit Blanche visitors will be wandering in these parts.
Performativity is a central theme for Toronto’s Nuit Blanche, taking place October 4th, from 6:52pm to sunrise. It’s not only central to a lot of the work that goes on throughout the night, but I think it’s an apt description of audience as well. On what other occasion are so many citizens out and about [...]
Nuit Blanche 2006 was quaint compared to the explosiveness of its 2007 incarnation. While the swell of drifters was often difficult to penetrate to even get to the art, there were some wonderful pieces that made the senseless wandering worth it, including Mircea Cantor‘s Deeparture at the Isabel Bader Theatre, and Kristen Roos‘s Ghost Station [...]
Bravo! is hosting a Town Hall meeting on Sunday, September 28 at 3pm at the Masonic Temple (888 Yonge St. at Davenport Rd.) I recommend you RSVP and attend if you have something to say, or are interested in what other voters are saying about the value of arts in Canada.
