+ I will most probably put my foot in it because I didn't read the fine print, but moments ago, I got an e-mail from a local gallery, quite a renegade gallery, which I'm happy exists for a show by a fellow called Franck Bragigand, who born in France, lives and works in Amsterdam. I know because I googled his site. He's doing some whimsical art for the people kind of thing in Montreal here, which I am also happy about. Love that painting manholes stuff. What I'm not especially happy about, is according to the gallery's e-mail they're sending out to fine overburdened Canadian especially Quebecers, the highest taxed people in all the land, tax payers such as myself is the financial help of: Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, Conseil des Arts du Canada, Conseil des arts de Montréal, Arrondissement Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, du Consulat général des Pays-Bas, de la Commission des services électriques de Montréal et de Belle Gueule! Fine for the European input, I'm wondering about the Canadian bits. I'm thinking dude, we are some great country doling out dough to European artists to make art on our turf. I'll have what he's having.
Oh + did I mention, the "Arrondissement Le Plateau-Mont-Royal" ..the h2w postal code, has the most artists living in it in ALL of Canada? Oh, I did, in a rant months ago...
