pwned

May 13th, 2008 | misc

In a previous post I mentioned that I’d update once I get more information about this wheatpaste work. I have the update now, and it ain’t pretty:  it’s actually a viral marketing to promote the new Vespa S in Canada.  I have fallen victim to a marketing scheme and I am sure it won’t be the last time.  Still, I feel quite shitty about this so forgive me for not linking to Vespa’s site.

Sex and Death (talk by Denise Pelletier, part 1)

April 4th, 2008 | fine arts

As promised, I am putting up a post (actually 2) on Denise Pelletier’s talk yesterday at Emily Carr. Instead of some by-the-minute recap, I am only putting up images for you to see. Before you go and look at the images, let me just say that her work revolves around two major themes: sex and death. And her medium of choice is ceramics because it’s “accessible, intimate, and abstract.” Jump to see the many photos. Read more »

Protectors of the street, or just minding their own business

April 3rd, 2008 | installation

Saw this today on my way to Denise Pelletier’s talk at Emily Carr (more on that later). I have no idea who the artist is and what it is for; I only know that there are four of them at the intersection under the Granville bridge going into Granville Island and my roommate Sean told me that this has popped up along Granville Street as well. I should probably check it out too.

2008-05-13 update: I was pwned, it’s a Vespa viral promotion, according to computerlove.
