51 weeks apart

Howdy!

It has been awhile since I mentioned anything about Nicolas Mavrikakis, but this was just too good to pass up. On April 22, 2004 he wrote a review about the orange/brown collective show at Blizzarts. On April 14, 2005 he wrote a review about the orange/brown collective show at Usine C.

I wrote about his review last year, here. This year he uses 13 more words than last year. To give M. Mavrikakis some credit, he does mention their show last year (but not his review).

Last year he name-dropped Emmanuel Galland and Bernard Pivot, this year he name drops Patrick Coutu and BGL. Last year he called them young artists, and said how he was always on the lookout for them. This year he calls them young artists, and attempts to goad the Musée d'Art Contemporain into hosting a show of theirs. Last year Robert Boulay made a comment about the article, this year Robert Boulay made a comment about the article (although this year's comment is a tad more confusing than last year's). Plus ça change...
