The Montreal Art Review Round-Up
Published May 02, 2004
Over to the sucking up article. I would wonder what sort of relationship there is between Voir communications and Diesel Marketing, or why would they publish something like this? Even Mr. Mavrikakis seems a little bit embarrassed, as he signs the article only N. Mavrikakis, and there is none of his trademarkd name dropping, maybe vacation snapshots from Cuba aren't his bag. And the other thing that I find interesting is how the review of Mr. Bouchard's work gets four comments from the readers with Mr. Bernatchez only gets one.
Then finally, it looks like objects are definitely not his bag (he even says so in the first paragraph) as he similarly mails in the review of Le Design contemporain au Québec, his namedropping is lackluster at best as all he can muster up is a passing compliment about some religious sculptures in wood that are part of the permanent collection at the Musée des maîtres et artisans du Québec.
It seems like Isa Tousignant has taken a vacation, for the second week in a row, Hour has no reviews, and all the university papers are taking the summer off, it does seem as if classes have some to an end.
