ok...i lied...

so i didn't draw yesterday as promised...but i did find a couple of nice discovieries, one being this empty lot with mangled spaghetti rebar + urban pond...

yannick pouliot and "le courtisan"... a 1x1 meter box tower, rough construction of plywood built approximately 4 meters tall. looks like nothing from the outside, except for a piece of white paper attached that says "would you please close the door behind you..." and then you realize that in the box tower is a door. you can hear the music play when the door is closed and turn off when a person exits...there is an element of wonder about this box that intrigues me. so i carefully wait my turn, and then approach the door to open it---it appears dark inside, but i latch the door behind me anyhow. as soon as i hear the click, the light turns on and a minuet worthy of royal palace ballrooms begins to play...i look up, and 4 meters above my head i see a glass chandelier, and this 3x3 now octagonal space is painted bright white, with fancy decorative mouldings all around. immediately i smile, and then i also get a whiff of the light perfume that is sprayed. so uplifting and such a pleasant surprise...upon leaving the magestic little room, i put my "museum face" back on...hehe...why must we always feel the need to be so serious in the white walled rooms of this institution...well, i was secretly smiling and giggling inside nonetheless from this little delight.

jerome fortin he uses everday objets (matches, plastic bottles, japanese comic books), to make curiously wonderful other everyday objects (wallpapers, necklaces, etc.)...the attention to small detail was so apparent and made me smile.

one more thing to share...francine savard...but i can't find any particular reference to the piece i want to share with you...i'll have to do a little sketch and scan it later...remind me...anyhow i can at least share the name with you and make you do the translation into english to get a glimpse of what is about....it's called....

"ici/la-bas et moi/toi"
