art + space + audience
Currently studying Criticism & Curatorial Practice at the Ontario College of Art & Design. Research interests include how contemporary factors are changing the processes of historicization; what political/social/technological factors contribute to movement-free "movements"; and what elements in a space have the capacity to make art accessible and engaging to all audiences.
I'll use Posterous to amass a collection of things around the Internet that catch my eye. Anything that warrants a more elaborate comment can be found on my website:

Home Sweet Home
Just returned from Montreal. Expect extended ramblings of my art encounters shortly. For now, an image from MOCCA's last show, which I managed to see (twice) just before it closed.

Alyssa Monks
I think I've declared here at Posterous that painting is dead, but every now and again I come across painted works that are impossible not to look at and at the very least admire. Alyssa Monks is the artist behind such paintings and I've been completely moved by the quality and content of her work. Common water themes and incredible photo-realism.

Evelyn McHale - Andy Warhol
I've been looking for a good quality version of this image ever since I saw the Supernova: Stars, Deaths and Disasters, 1962-1964 exhibition at the AGO in 2006. This image of Evelyn McHale was published in LIFE magazine, and Warhol used it in his early screenprinted works (in fact, many of the Warhol pieces in this gallery were in the Supernova exhibition).
Thanks, kottke.org.

Santiago Sierra
The ARTnews article prompted me to look into Santiago Sierra's work.
It's incredible work. I can understand how some of if makes people uncomfortable, but I'm yet to come across something that I find to be morally reprehensible. His work has strong political themes, like his 1549 State's Crimes, where the reading of names of people disappeared by order of the state takes 72 consecutive hours.
