Uncanny Looking: Gunilla Josephson
An exhibition by Gunilla Josephson that fills Rodman Hall, with works that play upon memory and relationships. I offer some impressions of the work and the larger interplay of the pieces.

Part 2. What About Rodman Hall?
Unpacking some of the statments – misleading and otherwise – made during the Rodman Hall / Brock University ‘Consultations” led by Martin Van Zon of Interkom Marketing. The first in an ongoing series focused on Van Zon’s presentations.
Amber Lee Williams / “Embracing Randomness”
Another of the early artist features I produced for The Sound: I sat down with Amber Lee Williams to talk about her artwork and ideas.
Reading The Talk: Wampum, Covenants and History
An exhibition exploring history that is almost collaborative in the approach taken by the artists and curators, centred around the historic Dish with One Spoon treaty. I offer some impressions of the ideas and artworks in RHAC.
