Pretty Upsetting at the End
Poring and Pouring: The Physical Body and Its Gestures

Benglis’s work in every medium speaks to the more ungovernable corners of the human imagination. The work glitters and then glitches, it is transcendent and excremental, it moves from the curvaceous to the crepuscular.
Seductive Repulsions

For David Altmejd the void is a safe and infinite place, an entry or portal of limitless possibilities and an auspicious beginning.
dancing with one another

“I want the movies to wash over you; to go through you in a way; to create a kind of sensory bombardment. I’ve been trying to get this idea of a liquid narrative, a free-form storytelling where time is exploded and colours become characters.”
Blood Lines

Robert Enright writes on Jim Jarmusch’s newest, Only Lovers Left Alive.

…What saves Adam from complete despair is his undiminished love for Eve—they have married three times—and their devotion to one another is palpable throughout the film. The cinematography is luscious and slow moving; when they dance to Denise Lasalle’s “Trapped by a Thing Called Love,” you know it’s a trap they want to be in; and when we see them naked and curled towards one another, their white skin against a black background, they resemble figures eternally inscribed on an exquisite krater…

The other side involves natural spaces, which you perceive if you hear different types of sounds within the orchestra; I compose for these virtual spaces, too.”
The Many Faces of Suzy Lake

In the case of Suzy Lake, contemporary art history has had to go back in time to recognize her present achievement. From the beginning she was interested in the places where pictorial formats crossed over into one another.
Somewhere Between Berlin and Bogota

The Forbidden Room, 2014 - directed by Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson
There Can Never Be Enough: New and Selected Stories by David Arnason
Iconographer of the Local

David Thauberger has an appetite for making, collecting and looking at art that mirrors the prairie space in which he lives; it’s wide-ranging and moves, unimpeded, in all directions. He is visually omnivorous, a disposition that was planted and grew in the layered art historical soil of Saskatchewan, his home province.
Divided Pathways: Painting’s Choice

McIntosh is a highly intelligent painter whose predisposition is to be on the lookout for new ways of using colour and form. “I never want to fully know what I am going to have at the end because then I wouldn’t need to make the painting.” She is especially interested in a wilfully induced pictorial alienation in which what she sees is what she hasn’t seen before.
