it's an art thing

1. DMG Gallery Exhibition @ UTSC: meeting point (March 17 - April 26)


Such a great exhibition that's currently being held at the DMG gallery! Since I'm partially lazy and should probably be writing my papers here is the exhibition description taken from the website.

Meeting point features internationally recognized contemporary artists whose works construct or metaphorically imply a range of social relationships between two people - intimacy, disagreement, love, friendship and competition, to name a few. This art encourages direct social interrelation, subjective experiences and ensuing narratives that are sometimes personal and always point to real life.

From Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard’s Fucked Up Lover (2001), in which conversations about compilation tapes are remarkably revealing of couples’ relationships, to Laura Belém’s Diplomatic Talks (2009), where paired heads of coins from different countries set up an imagined dialogue that may either be diplomatic or intimate, the works in Meeting Point represent a reconstructive, hopeful experimentation by artists frustrated by art of all kinds remaining discrete from social contexts.

In this way, Meeting Point offers an optimistic angle for current artistic debate. The exhibition brings together major works by Canadian and international artists who has previously shown in the Venice, Lyon, Havana, and São Paulo biennials. In addition, their work has been exhibited at the Carnegie International, ICA London, the Barbican, and the Palais de Tokyo. Despite such exposure, many of these works will be new to Canadian audiences, particularly those of the included artists from Brazil.

Now if only this could happen on the Bloor/Danforth line.

Inside all of us is a WILD THING

Remember this book?

Now the movie!
There seems to be a lot of hype about this one, can't wait! I think the Arcade Fire song works so well within this trailer.

Million Looks

Just a few photos from the Fall 2009 twenty8twelve collection. I like the effortless and simple styling of each outfit and that trench a lot, a great ready-to-wear line. Not bad Sienna.

The Hills are Alive!

For The Hills fans out there - the trailer for season 5. I must say I got a little teary eyed at the end when Heidi and Lauren shared a moment. Spencer is still quite repulsive. Just a side observation: Heidi upgrades from the iphone to the bold, incase you needed to know?! Enjoy. (Thanks G!)

She's a Lady. (Whoa, whoa, whoa.) She's a lady.

First lady Michelle Obama appears on the March 2009 cover of Vogue. In the article she talks about her children their ideals and fashion. Photographer Annie Leibovitz really captures the elegance, beauty, and class that Michelle possesses. She's truly an inspiration and a real lady in my books.

Sex and the City version 2.0

If you haven't already heard it has been announced that a sequel is in the works for a part 2 for the Sex and the City movie set to be released in 2010 (this seems to be a reoccurring theme going on in my blog). I have no idea what the premise will be but probably something on the lines of married life with Mr. Big and children. Hopefully Samantha will still keep with the regular themes of the show and give us the typical Samantha Jones story lines that we all enjoy and love. Personally, I think it's either going to be really good or bomb but with great outfits of course! Thoughts?

Alice In Wonderland in 2010

How fitting to have a post about Alice In Wonderland as my blog title is inspired by this classic novel (if you didn't already know this!) which happens to be one of my favourites!

Tim Burton is set to direct a live-action CGI (think the movie Beowulf) version of the classic "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" set to be released in 2010. I can't wait to see this movie! Anne Hathaway has been cast to play the White Queen and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Should be a good one!

If you ever get the chance you should check out the 1985 creepy made for TV version of Alice in Wonderland which features Sammy Davis Jr. as the hookah smoking caterpillar. It was actually so weird but you can't stop watching. If that makes any sense?!

For the Tim Burton fans out there he will also do the MOMA! This is where the lovely Mag's comes in!

Something to look forward to next fall (I realize this is a while away!) when getting ready for the fall fashion season is an upcoming photography exhibit put on at the AGO entitled “Edward Steichen: In High Fashion, the Condé Nast Years, 1923–1937.”

Edward Steichen is considered one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century. He was an American photographer who was born in Bivange, Luxembourg then immigrated to the United States in 1881. He was a photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator.

Steichen became the chief photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair who shaped the look of celebrity and fashion photography in the 20’s and 30’s which later revolutionized Fashion photography when he photographed the creations of iconic designers of the time, including Chanel, Lanvin, Poiret, and Patou.

The exhibition will showcase more than 200 photographs taken by Edward Steichen. Mark those calendars, the exhibition will run from October 3, 2009 – January 3, 2010 and am sure it will not disappoint.
