    Places: Joe Battat's Playhouse

    Things are changing for Montreal, the perennial little brother of North America’s big cities and big art scenes. In a review of last year’s Québec Triennial, the Globe and Mail asked, “Is Montreal the real art capital of Canada?” It’s now a fair question.

    Faces: Ben Walmsley - Father Goose

    It is conventional art wisdom that it’s best to paint what is around you. And what is around the artist Ben Walmsley is children. He has four of them, ranging in age from nine to 19. “I’ve been a stay-at-home dad for 20 years now,” Walmsley tells me during my recent visit to his Toronto studio.

    Begin with a song. In Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby’s debut video, Rapt and Happy (1998), the first thing we hear is Duke’s voice singing “Doo doo doo...I’d love to keep you warm.”

    Valérie Blass: Particle Collider

    Though its industrial past was downright gritty, Montreal’s Darling Foundry is, today, a pretty tidy place. On the first floor, two large, pristine galleries host exhibitions. On the third floor, artists and curators lunch in a stylish open kitchen. Even on the second floor, where the artists’ studios are located, the hallways are clean, with nary a blot of paint or a dot of clay in sight.

    Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins: Finders Keepers

    As last winter passed into spring, the artists Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins were intent on making every minute count. They had just finished an immense installation for Canada Blooms, Toronto’s annual flower-and-garden show, hard on the heels of exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of York University. Several other projects were in varying states of completion or looming on the horizon.

  • Sammy Baloji: The Light Continent

    Nearly 1 billion people live in Africa, yet we get relatively few reports from it. Now, Congolese artist Sammy Baloji creates a compelling portrait of time and place there in “Vues de Likasi,” an installation at the Contact Festival’s new gallery in Toronto.

  • Gabriel Coutu-Dumont: Sketches of Synchronicity

    Gabriel Coutu-Dumont filtered thousands of globetrotting photos down to a mere 275 for his current touring show. But as critic Amy Fung reports, Coutu-Dumont’s exhibition is at its best when it focuses on the artist’s photographic—rather than curatorial—skills.

  • Yann Pocreau: Illuminating the Local

    In the past, Montreal photographer Yann Pocreau has focused on the body’s interaction with architectural forms. Now, in a show of newer work, Pocreau focuses on something less concrete—the interaction of mobile bodies with local light.
