Dead Man's Bones with Ryan Gosling + Zach Shields in Montreal
Saw an amazingly visual + creative Canadian band last eve at the National on St. Catherine's St. which included amazing local (kid) singers from the Every Kids Choir. Every performance begins with a local talent show which, here in Montreal included magicians...very retro + fun. about the band + an article by T'cha Dunlevy about them.

Restaurateur/designer Patrick Meausette...in the Montreal Gazette today
....a piece about friend/biz partner's, Rob Hack's lovely "loft with good bones". Not surprising for anyone who has been to either of their restos, the fabulous Cluny Artbar or the Cafe Titanic. Wow. Beautiful.

Paintings by Ted Kennedy
On top of everything else, it appears TK was a pretty decent painter.

Rufus Wainwright's first opera
Prima Donna opened in Manchester, England, Friday night. The NYTimes music review seems a bit lukewarm.

nothing personal, shannon freshwater, but I think this work sucks
Shannon is a Saatchi finalist see here. I like some of her other works but this painting on a photograph bugs me. It's all over the place, especially in Toronto, on Queen Street, this painting on photographs. Huge prints, sometimes, with paint slopped all over the photograph+ well,yawn, it just leaves me stone cold. Maybe at the advent of photography painting over prints was some kind of cool but now, really, it just seems like laziness. Like learning how to draw is yuck,work. (It is a found photo that she's "flawed". It is always poignant when you come unwanted photographs at a garage sale or junk shop. You can't help thinking about the people in the photographs. + how the photographs got there.)

me + my shadow, May 31/09
went to a fabulous show at the dhc in Old Montreal called Particles of Reality, along with a group of photographer/friends. I'd never heard of this artist Michal Rovner, who lives in NY + in Israel on a farm, but after seeing the show it felt to me her art could only be created by someone who lives in NY + rural Israel. She marries the most sophisticated technology with the most primitive...eg. rocks. It's on all summer into the fall + truly, it's a show not to be missed.

+ the Grange Prize Winner is Marco Antonio Cruz
who I had to vote for, too I felt a bit unpatriotic for voting for a non-Canadian on this "Focus on the Best in Canadian and International Contemporary Photography" competition, but his photos are just too too amazing...
