Did a number of sketches this week but can’t seem to get them scanned, it’ll have to wait till I figure out what’s wrong with the scanner at home (or find another way). Last night, however, I went to an opening titled “Market Forces / Part II: consumer confidence” at Carriage Trade - it sounded more interesting that what I actually saw.

Too often, the idea of a show, and what’s actually present to look at, don’t really sync up - to me, tying a bunch of photos, paintings and constructions to an economic construct - Consumer Confidence, for example, is very thin, even if you can add images of things that one consumes - it’s almost as if the connection is the curator - the idea a curator has.

But the point is - not what the curator thinks, it’s what we think - what people get out of the show - and does the elements of the show actually support, in an artistic way, the theme of the show… and it didn’t, at least, not for me.

But the wine was good! And I needed a drink, it was long, long week - some of it spent in Toronto, at the Social Media RoundTable and Third Tuesday …. and actually, I made a movie I posted up on YouTube about my Toronto trip - see below:
