Howdy!
From 1944...
And M. Pellan's bit starts at 9:02.
The other film I mentioned on Monday is Voir Pellan, but it hasn't been made available online, yet.

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.]

Randall Anderson making it in Toronto
Howdy!
According to Blog TO, the kick-ass art professor at John Abbott has something that sounds very interesting up at the Toronto Sculpture Garden.
Personally, I want to know what happened to Zoom!

Rey-a-Day & mail art seven days a week
Howdy!
I normally don't like putting a spotlight on specific art blogs, just because it has the potential to increase the number of emails I receive every day. Exponentially. But despite the potential danger, I quite like and enjoy Edith Rey's blog, called doreyme and Kiera Pannel's, called This is Art. mail art seven days a week.
Full Disclosure: Edith is a good friend and Kiera lives around the corner from me.
So yeah, if you live around the corner and are a good friend, email me to ask if I can write about your art blog.

La galerie d’art Jules Harvey is closing
Howdy!
It is always sad news when an art gallery closes, this is made even more poignant when it is a gallery that has been in business for more than 40 years. You can read more about it here.

Running an Art Gallery in Milwaukee sounds like it is the same as running an Art Gallery in Montreal
Howdy!
First off, I gotta thank Stefan Zebrowski-Rubin, prior to him becoming a guest blogger at Art21 I kinda, sorta just scanned the headlines of their blog. But now I've actually started reading them, and boy-oh-boy am I glad I did. They have a new guest blogger, Mike Brenner, and he is writing about his experiences running Hotcakes, an art gallery in Milwaukee.
For those of you out of the loop, I used to run an art gallery here in Montreal called Zeke's Gallery, and while all of Mike's experiences aren't the exact same as my experiences, they are pretty gosh darn similar, and it doesn't hurt that he knows how to write as well.
I'm looking forward to his future entries...

Stefan Zebrowski-Rubin on Rafael Lozano-Hemmer & Vida Simon
Howdy!
Man that's a mouthful; "Stefan Zebrowski-Rubin on Rafael Lozano-Hemmer," but I won't get into Quebec civil law here. However of all the artists in Montreal I'd be hard pressed to name one whose art I appreciate more than Mr. Lozano-Hemmer. Mr. Zebrowski-Rubin did a kick-ass interview with him on the Art21 blog last week.
And since I like being comprehensive, there's also Mr. Zebrowski-Rubin's post on Vida Simon (and artist I was previously unaware of). So if you're keeping score at home that makes five artists I knew of and three that I didn't in Mr. Zebrowski-Rubin's series on art in Montreal. 62.5% not bad if I can say so myself given how many artists there are here...

Meeting of the Styles is now Can You Rock
Howdy!
and it merely took them three weeks to get their promo video done... Guess I'm going to have to get down to Saint Patrick street to see what they did.

Stefan Zebrowski-Rubin on Jenny Schade and Adad Hannah
Howdy!
Ok, I'm going to have to start playing catch up, not only had I never heard of Jenny Schade before Stefan wrote about her, but I almost missed his post on the Art21 blog about her (something about Fridays I guess). Looks like I'm going to have to track her down.
Adad Hannah on the other hand is a very known quantity. But as usual, Stefan writes about him and his work very eloquently and clearly.

Stefan Zebrowski-Rubin on Yves Médam and The Kokoromi Collective
Howdy!
Surprise, surprise!! I'd never heard of Yves Médam before Stefan's interview with him on the Art21 blog but back in 2003 Zeke's Gallery exhibited the photography of James St. Laurent and their work is pretty gosh darn similar.
However me 'n' The Kokoromi Collective go way back... but Stefan's post about them is informative, entertaining and educational.

It almost makes me want to move to Indianapolis
Howdy!
No matter how much I get a kick out of seeing a promo video for the Association of Art Museum Directors 2010 Annual Meeting (especially since Marc Mayer has a starring role!), three months to edit and post is about two and a half months too long.
Good thing, as I really don't want to move to Indianapolis...

Stefan Zebrowski-Rubin on Shelley Miller and Paul Warne
Howdy!
Last week, over at Art21, Stefan Zebrowski-Rubin was the guest blogger.
I figured I'd wait a little bit and let the hubbub die down a little bit before posting links to what he wrote. So you'll be getting two/day for the rest of the week. And if you couldn't tell, I think they are fabulous, wonderful and amazing.

Also, if you're interested, this is the interview I did with Shelley Miller back in 2009.

OK, I'll jump on the bandwagon
Howdy!
But only because it is hilarious!
If you want to see the original version, or the 'long' version click appropriately.
I gotta thank whomever wrote this article about Stephen Harper's political strategy in Québec for cluing me in.
