My Opa in his best Swiss Family Robinson outfitSo this is not technically art, but when I was at my parents' house over the holidays, I discovered a whole series of photo albums that used to belong to my Opa - my grand father on my dad's side - that chronicled the...

Once again, my blogging has been spotty at best this week. Vtape sort of ate my face what with the catalogue essay being due and now my sister is in town for the Spice Girls concert tonight (don't pretend you're not jealous) - since they cut the rest of their world...

If there was a way I could teleport myself to Vancouver by this Tuesday (or afford to fly instead of being in massive student debt), I would be all over this. I love love love Andrea Fraser and am desperate to see her speak about her work.Andrea Fraser, Museum...

Okay, so I've been the worst blogger ever this week and completely letting myself down on my New Year's consistency resolution. School came back with a vengeance this week, as did deadlines at the magazine and comments from my Vtape editor on my catalogue essay....

Dear Josh Ritter,I am obsessed with your most recent album, The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, which I just discovered was released on my birthday last year.I know this obsession will not gain me any street cred with the musical community - in fact, I'll...

Yesterday I found myself at The Power Plant for the better part of the afternoon. For one, that building is way too hot for it to be good for the art. I thought I was having hot flashes.First I was there with my curatorial class on a field trip to see the new...

One of my New Year's resolutions was to be more diligent about regularly writing in here (and responding to other people's blogs), so it's another day and another post. So far so good.My whole program went down to see Aernout Mik's contribution to Do Me!, a spin-off...

I think I might be a little late on this one, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyways. I resisted for a while, since Jon Davies' list is pretty much my list, but with a few alterations.Anyways, here are my top 10 fun, awe-inspiring arty things from 2007 (in no...

I've really been enjoying the various Top Ten lists of fun/inspiring/arty things that have appeared on Sally McKay and Lorna Mills' blog as of late. Truly enjoyable, though they periodically make me very jealous that I missed certain shows last year.I also laughed out...

I'm back in Vancouver with my family for the holiday season and have spent a ridiculous amount of time eating decadent food and drinking way too much. Which is not a bad way to spend the holiday, really. I finally had a day on my own yesterday, after a week of family...

I went to the Hart House Reading Room on Monday night for a panel discussion about the Rightfully Yours, exhibition that's on at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery right now. My friend Nick recommended it because he knows the curator, Tejpal S. Ajji, and I thought the...
