Howdy!
Yes, I'm a little late on this one. Apologies but back last month, Richard McCoy (twitter version) published his interview with Kendra E. Roth, Conservator at the Sherman Fairchild Center of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Art21. It makes for a very nice read.

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.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer getting great press in California
Howdy!
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, 'arguably the world's most important electronic artist...'
Can you name another electronic artist who is more important?

The English Press in Montreal finally pick up the Rémy Couture story
Howdy!
Last Friday (sorry, I've been busy) the Gazette published a story written by the Quebec correspondent for Postmedia News. The CBC at least got one of its reporters to cover it.

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).

In case you missed it, Remy Couture pleads not guilty
Howdy!
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.)
