Inland Space / Shawn Serfas

A massive exhibition at Rodman Hall of the visceral and evocative paintings (with objects and other detritus) of Shawn Serfas. I bring a number of ideas to the table, from our shared histories in Saskatchewan to our ideas of narrative and experience.

Art & Irony at Rodman Hall

A long and very amused response to Bill Burns’ excellent – and somewhat tragic, and surely absurd – exhibition Hans Ulrich Obrist Hear Us at Rodman Hall Art Centre.

BABELTECH™ and the power of language at NAC

I offer some thoughts on Eric Schmaltz’ BABELTECH INDUSTRIES™ presents…THE ASSEMBLY LINE OF BABEL and on the reading / performance given by Kai Kellough that same evening at Niagara Artists Centre. Language is a virus.

Excelsior! 1975 – 2015 / Dave Gordon @ NAC

Dave Gordon’s exhibition Excelsior! at Niagara Artists Centre was very funny but also had an edge to it, especially in terms of citing both artistic, and poltical, history in the region. I offer some thoughts on the show. One of the first exhibitions I reviewed here in Niagara.
