Advance notice of Aussie Artist invasion
Howdy!
They're coming in the middle of January as part of a cultural exchange between the Arts NSW and the Conseil des arts de Montréal. (Somehow, I think that the Montrealer going to Australia in January has the better deal...)

Maureen Rappaport MD, FCCFP, Assistant Professor of Medicine, McGill University is a freakin' genius!
Howdy!
And I might even have to track her down for an interview one of these days. But I digress. she proposed that residents do an "Interdisciplinary Art Project." Previously she had done a creative writing course for doctors-to-be. And the results look spectacular.

Writing about expensive paintings
Howdy!
One of the New York Times' blogs asks Denis Dutton, professor of philosophy of art; Eileen Kinsella, editor of ARTnewsletter; Donald Kuspit, art historian and Kathryn Graddy, economist why things art is so expensive.
The only one I come close to agreeing with is Ms. Graddy.

Rachel Granofsky, making it big in San Francisco
Howdy!
According to this article in last Thursday's San Francisco Gate, Ms. Granofsky has been busy at Cellspace, and had an exhibit before finishing her residency. For those with short memories, Ms. Granofsky used to be staff photographer at the Mirror.

The Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art
Howdy!
Last Thursday they announced the first winners of The Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art. Congrats to Steven Bates and Véronique Savard.
However as some of you know, I'm not a big fan of prizes, and my main question would be if they won a two year fellowship "worth $55,000." Since when has it cost $27,500/year to go to Concordia for an advanced degree in Fine Arts?

L’art contemporain montréalais envahit le coeur de Shanghai...
Howdy!
L’art contemporain montréalais envahit le coeur de Shanghai...
I'd love to hear how this went (and who went, how much dinners cost, and what class they were seated in on the flight, among other things).

Finally Audio guides for public art in Montreal!!
Howdy!
Geneviève Blais beat me to the punch, but I aim to catch up and pass her. She has some of her students do audioguides to public art in Montreal. And she even offers up references! Woo-Hoo!

A Portfolio of Montreal Art News Bits
Howdy!
There's a lot of stuff to keep up with...
There's a lot of stuff to keep up with...
- Pierre and Isabelle just landed the L Hotel as a client, and do a very nice job documenting some of the art in the hotel.
- If you're in Paris, Paprika and Seripop are exhibiting examples of their work until July 24 at galerie Anatome.
- Carissa Carman won the Mechtronix World Corporation Graduate Award. Unfortunately the press release doesn't specify how much. Congratulations nonetheless.
- Got kids? It isn't exactly art, but it sure as shootin' looks cool. In honor of the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Space Agency they have mounted something called Cosmomania at the John H. Chapman Centre on the South Shore until August 15th.

Stamp Art, Artists' Stamps & Artistamps
Howdy!
The fifth paragraph of this article stated "The first exhibition of artist postage stamps occurred in 1974 in Canada." Which led me to this website. And then this article. And then finally, Tui Tui.
I'm obviously going to have to learn a lot more about stamp art and artists' stamps.

Patrick Bernier and Olive Martin, The Kahnawake Gaming Commission, The Ernest-Cormier Studio and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
Howdy!
Yes, it's a mouthful, but this article from the San Francisco Chronicle explains how Patrick Bernier and Olive Martin, The Kahnawake Gaming Commission, The Ernest-Cormier Studio and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts all come together in the name of art.
It'll be interesting to see if they ever show it in Montreal.
