Post a Comment On: Unedit my heart

Holy blog break, Batman! What happened to those six days that just evaporated with nary a post? Was I wooing gondoliers in Venice? Buttering up chocolatiers in Basel? No, I was just in Montreal for a couple of days, then overwhelmed by life and such. I did eat some good pastries, though.

Getting back to the grind... Tomorrow's NOW (online today) publishes my review of YYZ's 30th anniversary show, XXX. An excerpt:

Do artists run gallery spaces differently – or better – than museum CEOs or commercial dealers? Has this changed over time? Where might it go next? And should anyone who’s not an artist give a damn?

As artist-run centre YYZ celebrates its 30th anniversary, such questions come to the fore. Now the gallery is hosting a few related exhibitions under the YYZXXX umbrella.

There also an interesting feature in the paper about the whole Reena Katz/Koffler debacle—I'm glad to see it make the cover of a local publication.
