OOOOOOOO00000000ooooo

This is the type of art that reminds you of how much you want to touch art sometimes.

SKIN: the seduction of surface // Mosom Maskwa - Pawakan (Grandfather Bear - Spirit-Guides) // On a Path to Learning: Early Nova Scotian Women Artists


[More from the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia]

I nearly slipped on the floor near the front desk, my loafers were wet from the rain outside. It was a Thursday evening, free entry. Grey and rainy outside and perfect to be wandering alone inside the gallery on such a night.

At the gift shop I asked the lady if we could unwrap the plastic from a particular book on street art. I admit, I wanted to see inside because the author had a Finnish name. Turned out the book was mediocre, and I didn't purchase it though I felt obliged to.

Field Trip: The Russian Avant-Garde

Finally got around to seeing the Chagall & The Russian Avant-Garde exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario. It wasn't spectacular, but there were a few highlights in the show, making it a (mostly) worthwhile visit...

One of my most favourite artists is El Lissitzky, so I was quite excited to see this piece, up close and in real life!


I must confess, seeing it resulted in a lot of smiling (inside and out) and wide-eyed gawking!

And Rodchenko, love love love his work as well:



There was also a separate and smaller exhibit being shown entitled Constructing Utopia: Books and Posters from Revolutionary Russia (1910-1940). This collection definitely contained more of the kind of work I was interested in seeing:

Very Small Selection from U.K. Notebook... + Tom





While I was in Scotland. I fell upon Analogue Books...


where I surprisingly discovered a book made by my friend Tom Cops!...


Of course I bought it, and finally met the guy several days later, for real, in person for the first time ever, after being zine penpals for over a decade!
