RELATED STORIES

  • The Quebec Triennial: Altmejd, and Alternatives

    With David Altmejd creating one of the biggest Canada coups ever for the Venice Bienniale last summer and Michel de Broin winning the Sobey (as well as some court cases) this past year, Quebec artists are at the forefront of our national scene. Now the Quebec Triennial, opening in Montreal this weekend, offers viewers a survey of the scene’s strengths under one roof.

  • Sobey Shortlist Released: Artists Vie for $50,000 Prize

    This week, the Sobey Art Award released its shortlist for 2008, and it comprises a surprising range of stature—from international art superstar Terence Koh to emerging Maritime artist Mario Doucette. The winner will take home $50,000 and the honour of being pegged as this year’s top Canadian artist under 40.

  • John Bladen Bentley: Archival-Prints Charming

    John Bladen Bentley is a contemporary master of the colour carbon transfer print, a nineteenth-century photographic process. Its colour fidelity elevates the mundane into the monumental, and creates photographs whose lifespan rivals those of paintings.

  • Sovereign Acts: Painful Histories, Terrific Performances

    The history of indigenous people performing for colonial audiences inspires "Sovereign Acts,” a current Toronto group show. As Max Mosher writes, the show—featuring Lori Blondeau, Adrian Stimson and others—is both campy and contemplative.

  • Dil Hildebrand: In the Green Room

    Dil Hildebrand is one brave painter. In his new show “Back to the Drawing Board (Reprise),” he stares down the old adage that no one wants to look at a green painting, let alone buy one. There's not just one green painting here—there's a room of them.
