- Howdy! As Muli Tang's web site requests that I don't borrow anything on his site, all I can suggest you do is go there to look at his work. Specifically his portrait of James Conlon who is director of the May Festival, which is the oldest continuous choral festival in the Western Hemisphere. Mr. Tang lives in Cote Saint Luc but has done a bunch of portraits of prominent people in Cincinnati |

- Howdy! This is flat out strange. Due to some fairly simplistic radio habits (I listen to the CBC) and some procrastination on my part. I came across a picture of the gallery that I wouldn't have expected in a gazillion years. On Saturday's WireTap with Jonathan Goldstein is broadcast at 6: |

- Howdy! Once again, the Montreal Mirror is doing their best of Montreal competition. As you might now, I take it very seriously. Zeke's has won it three years in a row. I very much would like to win it for a fourth time. |
|
|
|
- Howdy! For scoring big with the Molson Prize. 50 large for a career that spans 50 years. Pity his gallery hasn't updated their website. |

|
- Howdy! Two weeks ago I went to the opening of Decalage, a group show by scads of Masters students at Concordia University. It was tons 'o fun, and tremendously entertaining. As it was the opening, there was only time enough to do a quick scan of the artwork there. So I promised myself I would go back and give it a closer and more thorough viewing. |

Fun Stuff (May 01 2005 23:34 GMT) - Howdy! One of my favorite writers, R.M. Vaughan interviews the artfag. Silly, but fun. |
|
|
|
- Howdy! Next I saw this press release put out by one of my favorite organizations, the Société de développement du boulevard Saint-Laurent. In it, they use the normal purple prose to go on and on about Saint Laurent. What I found reprehensible is that they have published a poster (see below) "To pay tribute to Ryan Larkin, SDBSL has produced a commemorative poster for the 100th anniversary of |

- Howdy! Back at the beginning of the month I referenced the exhibit in Los Angeles "i am 8 bit." This morning I came across FORT90.com who has some pretty darn cool pictures of the show. (Props and shout outs to Waxy for pointing me towards i am 8 bit in the first place, and for the pictures, too. |

- Howdy! I don't know how long the Globe Mail. Or in a nutshell, hoarding artists on this side of the border, and then thinking that they're going to change the world doesn't quite make sense in my book. |

- Howdy! Here's the press release for the RBC Financial Group Canadian Painting Competition. This is the jury (separated geographically): Quebec Marc Mayer, director of Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal René Blouin, director, Galerie René Blouin, Montreal British Colombia Lisa Baldissera, curator, Art Gallery of Victoria, Victoria Landon MacKenzie, artist and associate professor in visual arts |

- Howdy! There's an article in today's Globe and Mail about the behind the scenes machinations happening with respect to the paintings of Mr. Morrisseau. Interesting, yes. But I would have preferred if Mr. |

- Howdy! In today's Globe & Mail (attention the link will be lost in less than seven days) Gary Michael Dault writes a very positive review about the most recent exhibition by Harold Klunder at the Clint Roenisch Gallery. Unfortunately he quotes from "show's invitation card, 'Klunder works on single paintings for long periods, sometimes years at a time, and in doing so they become invested with a |

- Howdy! Farrah Merali writes in The McGill Daily about Yves Laroche opening a "new" gallery in his basement. Called L'autre galerie (how original) almost 20% of the artists at l'autre are also on the roster at Yves Laroche. However the thing that really gets my goat is that Ms. Merali quotes Jenny De Luca (a promotions and sales worker at l'autre) saying "Many of our artists exhibit or have |

- Howdy! I found the answer to my question in the previous post. Someone writes in Montréal Campus about art therapy students. That was easy. |

|
- Howdy! A lot of short quick hits today, from last week's Link, Tyler Boyle writes about Arts Education students not getting enough respect. You always want to know that you're not the last on the line. If studio arts students look down on arts education students, and engineers look down on arts students, and med students look down on engineers, etc. Who do arts education students look down |

- Howdy! It has been awhile since I mentioned anything about Nicolas Mavrikakis, but this was just too good to pass up. On April 22, 2004 he wrote a review about the orange/brown collective show at Blizzarts. On April 14, 2005 he wrote a review about the orange/brown collective show at Usine C. I wrote about his review last year, here. |

- Howdy! I for one, am a big fan of long interviews with artists and people in the arts field being published on the internet. If memory serves it was while reading one of Ms. Conti's earlier interviews that made me realize that I could do it too. But, jeez! |

- Howdy! Cool and informative article in today's New York Times about the next step in street art. Mr. Kennedy tracked down and interviewed Revs (for background try this, or this). Although to be fair, it looks like Mr. |

|
- Howdy! Then there's this story published on the Macleans website from Canadian Press (in Halifax, too!) about problems and difficulties at the National Gallery of Canada. The article gives a long list of logistical problems such as a leaky roof that threatens to damage art, and disorganized storage facilities. It then goes on to point out all the cost cutting measures that have been implemented, |

- Howdy! Last week or so, Stéphane Baillargeon, dutifully reported in Le Devoir the latest information from the fine folk at L'Institut de la statistique du Québec about the Art Market, here. Now I won't get into his article, which I would guess is fairly similar to the press release from the government.
