- OMG PONIES!!!
For those who know me better than I’d like (i.e. close family and anyone I’ve slurred drunken 80s nostalgia at over the years), my appreciation for the following find in today’s Street Anatomy post will come as no surprise.
Yes, as someone who both played with My Little Pony toys as a child (way more fun […]
- James North Art Crawl Preview: March
Having devoted a fair chunk of time in the last couple weeks to helping The Print Studio rally together something resembling a marketing campaign - one of the joys of serving on the Board of Directors - I’ve become increasingly conscious of something that seems rather obvious in retrospect: the need for advance notice surrounding […]
- World AIDS Day Tribute Band
Although I’m following on from Martin’s post a week ago at anaba, this thread has its source in Michael Buitron. To quote him directly:
“I got an email from the Getty last week listing their activities for December, which included events in conjunction with World AIDS Day, December 1. After checking out some other L.A. museum’s […]
- Politics, updating, etc.
I wasn’t able to attend last night’s Town Hall meeting in Toronto to discuss the myriad pending cuts to cultural funding programs at the hands of the Conservative government, but an mp3 download of the meeting is available from the good people of the newly mobilized Department of Culture. You’ll also find a video clip […]
- Loose Threads
Two of my posts from this past month are now in need of a resolution as April draws to a close, neither of which warrants its own post, so consider this a two-for-one deal.
Firstly, some of you may have noticed that my first blog for Akimblog has now gone online. The post’s coverage of the […]
- The Condition (Not the Content) of Hamilton’s Art
Earlier this week, when Terence Dick invited me to join the contributors to Akimblog as a representative of the Hamilton art community, he did so with the caution that I would need to find a way of writing that would remain ‘different and distinct - yet somehow retain your breezy, intelligent, personable, and critical style.’ […]
- Notes from the Rift/Love is a Battlefield
I’ve intended to expand the content of this blog to include remarks on my own studio practice for some time now, most especially since remarking on Kristen Peterson’s approach to documenting her work and the ways in which access to an artist’s practical concerns can help to demystify the process of art-making and hopefully start […]
- Intentionality and the Internet
I’m sure a fair few of my Canadian readers are familiar with Akimbo - and quite possibly, like myself, enjoy their daily deluge of email notices clogging up their inboxes with show invites and calls for submission in far too great a number to be truly useful. I think it’s a true show of […]
- Roman Erratum
My most recent post on happenings in Barrie has prompted a comment from Will Gorlitz refuting any claim of mine that he once referred to Barrie as ‘the Rome of Ontario’ during a Visiting Artist lecture. And fair play to the man, as a review of my sketchbooks from that time period did eventually […]
- Art blog, existentialist style
Today’s travels have taken me over to Steve Durbin’s post over at Art & Perception taking up the call for a survey on art blogging set out by Kriston Capps and Edward Winkleman. That seems a crucial question for an established blogger, and perhaps even more so for a small fish beginner-blogger such as […]
