Hmmm

Howdy!

I don't quite know what to make of this article in the Brooklyn Rail about a recently closed exhibit by Garry Neill Kennedy and Joanna Malinowska. On one hand all press is good, and it is a good review, so that makes it even better. However, the idea that a Governor General's Awards winner exhibits in an 'alternative' gallery in New York does not make me happy. It just confirms to me that a) Juries know jack about choosing good art, and b) Contemporary Canadian Art gets no respect anywhere, even when it is shown in Canada. [So everybody understands, can you find me the press release or any images from Garry Neill Kennedy and Joanna Malinowska on the Canada Gallery website? Notice how their's is the only one missing them...]
