La Société des directeurs des musées montréalais wastes some more money...
Howdy!
Last week (I know...) la Société des directeurs des musées montréalais announced that Nurun had been hired by them to create an iPhone app. Unfortunately someone forgot to tell them that all iPhones can and do have access to the internet, and that their iPhone app was a duplicate of the information already published on their website.
I have no knowledge of the contract, but I can't imagine that Quebecor subsidiary Nurun would do it for free. Although upon hearing that it has Rated 12+ for the following reasons: Infrequent/Mild Mature/Suggestive Themes, Infrequent/Mild Alcohol, Tobacco, or Drug Use or References, Infrequent/Mild Sexual Content or Nudity, and Infrequent/Mild Profanity or Crude Humor makes it seem a whole heck of lot more interesting.
[Edit 11:30 AM: And I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, but why the heck didn't La Société des directeurs des musées montréalais commission an artist to make their app?]

Making Devimco look good
Howdy!
Late last year there was this imaginary architectural competition about what to do with some places in Griffintown. Last week they named the five finalists. I have some questions.
Site 01 Station de police: Sound/Station, Brendan Whitsitt, Aaron Jacobson, Marc Hardiejowski. Don't they know that it is winter here in Montreal 8 months out of the year? And I also think that Spectra owns all the rights to outdoor performances in the city.
Site 02 Horse Palace: Griffintown Horse Palace, HTDSTUDIO, Équipe: Howard Duffy. So if I understand this one correctly, Mr. Duffy is proposing sending Leo's horses to the glue factory so that their stables can be replaced with an art gallery?
Site 03 Maison escamotable: Wood Bridge, Martin Mic. Doesn't Mr. Mic know that every building that is still standing in Griffintown is considered a historical artifact and protected by law? (Or at least the extent of the law that isn't covered by bribes). And 6002 ft!? The only reason people move down to Griffintown is so that they can live in large spaces.
Site 04 Tour d’aiguillage: Re-Hiding, Office of Urban Transformations Research RMIT University, Équipe: Rosalea Monacella, Craig Douglas, Kathryn English, Joseline Setiawan, Tarryn Boden, Thomas Harper, Greg Afflick. Same question as for number one, and on top of it, all those plants are facing north, they are going to get precious little sunlight.
Site 05 Bassin Peel: Castor Redux 2010, René Fan. While I know that Montreal has four statues of Maurice Richard, I'm not certain it really needs (or wants) two beaver lakes.
[Edit 12h41: An earlier version of this post misspelled the name Devimco. It has now been corrected.]

Where upon I repeat myself that Gérald Fillion knows absolutely nothing about Le marché de l'art and it shows
Howdy!
Yesterday I posted a video from RDI of Gérald Fillion talking to Simon Blais. As I hit the 'publish' button I thought I should explain myself. But then I figured "naw! It's self-explanatory." Plus it was likely to take an hour or two, which seemed a little excessive for a six minute video.
Ooops! my bad. M. Fillion (or someone signing his name to a comment) asked for an explanation. So first off, here's the video again (and thanks again to Eric Bolduc and Ratsdeville for bringing it to my attention).
And here's what's wrong with it:
0:08 seconds. The Quebecois art market was not affected by the worldwide recession for the same reason that the dollar pizza place on the corner wasn't affected by the worldwide recession - it is small in size and value and completely, utterly and 100% local.
0:13 seconds. Internationally, very few artists make a living from their art. What does this comment have to do with anything?
0:17 seconds. Simon Blais runs one commercial art gallery in Montreal. There are over 400 art galleries in Montreal, speaking to one person about their personal views should be labeled as such. He is not an objective observer either. It is the equivalent of talking to the bus driver of the 9h15 Sherbrooke street bus about public transit in Montreal.
0:32 seconds. Is the Quebecois Art Market doing well? Give me a break! Isn't their a better opening question that M. Fillion could have thought of? And especially since M. Fillion didn't follow it up with a question such as, "how do you define 'doing well?'"
0:51 seconds. So M. Blais' business suffered a decline of 25%, during the same time period he mentions, about 10 new galleries opened up. Maybe he just didn't know how to do business in 2009/10?
0:55 seconds. "But nothing catastrophic"? Just how does M. Fillion define catastrophic? If the TSX declined by 25%, I'd say it was a catastrophe. If sea levels declined by 25%, I'd say it was catastrophic. If it was my business, I'd say a 25% decline in sales was catastrophic.
0:57 seconds. Hundreds of galleries in the United States closing is a tiny percentage of the number of art galleries in the United States. And as M. Blais states, if four or five (although he first states, he doesn't know - which I would venture as a guess was closer to the truth) closed that would be less than 2% of all the art galleries in Montreal.
1:10 minutes. Showing uncredited art (that I assume was filmed at M. Blais' gallery) is just flat out bad journalism. And of questionable ethics as well.
1:23 minutes. M. Blais was referring to the worldwide art market crash in the 1990s. M. Fillion's question about the differences between now and then has absolutely nothing to do with the Quebecois (or Montreal) art market.
1:30 minutes. If it was a complete loss of confidence in the art market, why did people continue to buy extremely expensive art all through the 1990s?
1:32 minutes. Fundamental Economic Changes? Like what? Did people suddenly become less greedy? And M. Fillion didn't even (again) think to follow up on such a statement. And once M. Blais starts on the property market, do you think is he talking internationally? Or locally? And wouldn't that be the equivalent of listening to the bus driver talk about Formula One cars?
1:49 minutes. Did M. Blais suddenly forget what happened to property values in Montreal when the Parti Quebecois came to power?
2:13 minutes. If M. Fillion wants to know why it is difficult for an artist to make a living, wouldn't it be better to talk to an artist?
2:30 minutes. Calling Quebec art a small part of the Canadian Art Market is patently false. Just because art made here gets sold in Vancouver doesn't turn it into BC art. And responding, to M. Fillion's question by blaming it on a 'small' market is even more incorrect. (And why doesn't the artist painting on two-thirds of the screen get his name written across the bottom?)
2:34 minutes. There is a humongous and tremendous tradition of supporting art here in Quebec. It's called taxes. In 08/09 CALQ gave away $90 million. And then there's Heritage Canada, The Canada Council, the Montreal Arts Council and, and, and...
2:58 minutes. Another ridiculous question. Asking about 'potential.' Only a slug or a cretin would answer: "No."
3:07 minutes. If whatever people M. Blais is referring to, have only been interested in art for 20 or 30 years. Then how and when did Riopelle become famous and his paintings so expensive?
3:13 minutes. "We're going to win." Ummm, what's the competition?
3:21 minutes. So his clients are getting smarter. That does not mean that everyone else's clients were as dumb as his 20 years ago.
3:37 minutes. His client base has grown by 50% in 10 years, but he suffered a 25% drop in sales last year. There is something very strange about those numbers.
3:48 minutes. Another ridiculous question. Imagine what would happen to M. Blais' credibility if he responded negatively.
3:54 minutes. What's the difference between "investments" and "absolute value"?
4:09 minutes. The first statement by either M. Blais or M. Fillion that I have agreed with completely, wholeheartedly and 100%.
4:24 minutes. Utter claptrap and nonsense. If the price of the art is dictated by the size of the economy, then why isn't that the case for cars sold in Quebec? Shirts sold in Quebec? or any other product that is sold in Quebec?
4:36 minutes. What the heck is showing on the right hand side of the screen and how is it in any way related to Quebecois art?
4:56 minutes. Another ridiculous question. I presume that M. Fillion speaks to stock analysts, does he ever ask why their estimations for a stock price aren't attained? I also presume that he knows about betting on sporting matches. Does he ever ask why their estimations for the outcome of a game don't happen? And then if he were to ask, wouldn't it be better to ask the person who made the estimation? Instead of someone else?
5:11 minutes. So am I to understand that M. Blais just said that Heffel couldn't recognize a crappy Riopelle painting if it bit them? And what's with the mouse on the Simon Blais website? That's just flat-out annoying.
5:20 minutes. This is where I completely lost it. M. Blais stating that the 'private' sales are a better judge of market than an auction. If that is the case, why doesn't the TSX just close up? In situations like this, I am always reminded of the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute." And after he said that an auction was not a good judge of the market and you accepted it - I realized that neither M. Blais or M. Fillion knew a gosh darn thing about the art market.

When he states things like "that art is inseparable from the intellectual life at Concordia" and cataloging all the art at Concordia University he is dead bang on. But, there are other things that he does that I strongly disagree with.

Dan Flavin & Bill Viola don't make art
Howdy!
This one should be coming from The Onion. But unfortunately it isn't, it's real life and it is true. From Reuters, and from The Art Newspaper. More to follow as they appear.

Vera Frenkel in Canadian Art Magazine
Howdy!
I spoke with Vera Frenkel back in November. And now the show gets a write up in Canadian Art Magazine.
I can't call 434 words a review, and it truth it reads more like a rehash of the press release, than anything critical.

Moshe Safdie at (and on) the National Gallery
Howdy!
Someone at the National Gallery needs to learn how to use YouTube better. They have posted 12 short videos of Moshe Safdie talking about the building. Twice. Because they have an English account called ngcmedia and a French account called mbacmedia. However the videos uploaded to the French account are in English. And they have no playlist, and because they have chosen to title them Tour of the National Gallery of Canada with Moshe Safdie and then specify which part of the building they are, at first glance it seems like they are all the same. Which could go a long way to explaining why they have all been viewed in the low two figures (that or someone over there forgot to send out the email, tweet and update their Facebook page).
I think they should hire me as their social media consultant. And if you're interested, the complete collection of videos are all below.

Things are not good with Jean-Paul Riopelle
Howdy!
Some place in Winnipeg called Mayberry Fine Art is doing its darnedest to blur the line between what I would call Real Fine Art™ and Complete & Utter Crap™, and they're doing so with the help of Yseult Riopelle, Jean-Paul Riopelle's daughter, author of the Catalogue Raisonne
, and keeper of Jean-Paul Riopelle's artistic legacy.
My best guess would be that someone needs some money.
Basically, what they doing is casting some things in bronze, calling them "sculptural gems" and trying to sell them for prices ranging from $39,000 to $750,000. If you have been under a rock for the past eight years, Jean-Paul Riopelle died in 2002, making it sort of difficult for him to make any art, recently. And that's why I would consider them Complete & Utter Crap™. Implying, or allowing someone to infer that these are sculptures made by Jean-Paul Riopelle is a fabrication worthy of Mother Goose or the Brothers Grimm.
Apparently they exhibited them someplace in Paris and are taking them on tour through Canada. If you'd like to read the press release, do so right here. They don't mention how many copies were cast, which leaves the possibility that the next time someone needs some cash all they have to do is cast some more statues. And don't even get me started on the drawings that they're trying to sell as well.

Great idea...
Howdy!
Audiotopie is, as they write, an artist collective that combines architecture, landscape architecture, new media and electro-acoustic music. They come out with a bunch of audioguides (for lack of a better term) based around metro stations. I've only had the opportunity to hear one (on the Saint Laurent metro station) and unfortunately it promised more than it delivered.

Why do I have to go to Ottawa to find out about art in Montreal?
Howdy!
OK, I won't bust The Ottawa Citizen's chops that the exhibit is really taking place in Westmount and not Montreal, but if de Bellefeuille is sending out press releases, you'd kind of, sort of think that something local would pick up on it first.
And yes, I know I'm five days late on the news, but a) I've been busy and b) this ain't a primary news source (or at least it shouldn't be one).

Canadian Press article here (along with a cool picture). Personally I like how they translate the charge literally into Moral Corruption
Still nothing from the CBC or the Gazette, however the Hollywood Reporter has picked up on it.

And still more Alfred Pellan
Howdy!
Back in 1984 when he won the Prix Borduas, Cécile Rodrigue from Radio-Canada went and interviewed Alfred Pellan. (Unfortunately I can't embed it here, so you gotta click on the link to hear it.)
And then in 1988, on the 40th anniversary of the publication of the Prisme d'yeux, Alfred Pellan was interviewed by Gilles Daignault. (Same deal about hearing it; click on the link.)

Rémy Couture going to court tomorrow
Howdy!
Québec is fast becoming a less appealing place to live. After reading this, the only reason I can think of to stay is that it is worse elsewhere.
To back up a little, Rémy Couture, is a special effects artist for film. He made some films of his own. He got busted by the RCMP last year. His case is finally making it to trial tomorrow.
His ordeal has made it into the local French press (La Presse, Journal de Montreal, Journal de Québec, Le Devoir, Mario Dumont, and while I usually totally and completely disagree and dislike anything Richard Martineau does, this time I agree with him)
But where is the rest of the press? The Montreal Gazette? The Montreal Mirror? The Hour? CTV Montreal? CBC? Or do they think somehow that that a French artist being busted isn't worth the trouble to report?
If you want to read more try these on for size:
InnerDepravity, the website which got Rémy Couture busted.
The Facebook page supporting him.
The Rémy Couture website.
And documentingreality.com and neogaf.com forums
[Edit 20h: He was also on Christiane Charette this morning.]
