Ponderings:

Lots of thoughts about art this weekend after hanging around Wreck City a bunch. There are so many different perspective on what makes art. It’s also interesting to have a project like Wreck City bring so many artists together who create so many different kinds of art. How people see this art in the context of a home and not a gallery is quite astounding too. I’ve always been fascinated with temporary art, like that created by water. I love the idea that only a few people will see something and it won’t be available for collection and monetization. It just is when it is and that is that. To some degree a lot of art is like this in that it’s original “showing” can not be recreated but that is a large and in depth discussion I won’t get into here.

Ponderings:

With the upcoming Calgary Underground Film Festival and watching a Youtube vlogger ramble off about his least favourite movies I’m trying to compile my list of all-time least liked movies.  Right now I can think of Cosmopolis, and I don’t know because I usually forget the names of movies I hate shortly after I’ve seen them. One involved a roman warrior, one involved stupid science fiction and one was really sexist (oh, that was probably James Bond…). But I am not going to see shitty movies this week. I promise.
