"Over het dek." Arnhem, Holland.
Pfff yesterday was a heavy one, nothing seems to mix well and almost every brush mark wend on the wrong spot, … So I tweaked these two A LOT !! But that was nice because you don’t wanna be outside at the moment here in the Netherlands.

Wheat beers such as hefeweizen, weissbier and wit are all light beers made from a mix of malted barley and wheat. In southern Germany the typical hefeweizen is fermented with a non-flocculating yeast, and it is not filtered before bottling

The neat thing about antiquing is that, not only can anyone participate, you never know what you’re going to find. We’ve all seen TV programs like “Antiques Roadshow”, and smiled (perhaps with a touch of envy) when someone learns that the little vase they purchased at a flea market is worth more than their house… Antiquing is simply the process of browsing for old things and collectibles.

London, Kensington Gardens, August, Sunday, blue skies, warmish. Just off the entrance to The Serpentine Gallery stands a temporary pavilion in hospital white. I approach the small building just as one of the last English heartbeats is recorded for posterity; that is, copied to a fat hard drive to be added to yet another fat hard drive then shipped to the uninhabited Japanese island of Teshima and digitally secured at the Benesse Art Site Naoshima…until Doomsday. This is the premise of the expanding and ongoing work of Christian Boltanski, Les Archives du Coeur , registering a rambling sample of the world’s pulse. Boltanski Beat: Charlotte Cooper with her heartbeat on CD, treasured souvenir of Christian Boltanski's Archives du Coeur Charlotte Cooper, an English teenager who with her mother trained down from Bristol to have the sound of her heart recorded for all time, emerges with her dog Toffee (on a outfit-matching pink leash), tenderly holding the two-minute CD of her heart’s lively beat, (she’s no

This could get ugly. My colleague Martin Knelman reported last week that Michael Snow, Canada's eminence grise of conceptual film, had sued the developers behind the construction of TIFF's Lightbox (and, ahem, condo tower) for breach of contract over a work he says was commissioned for the building. The developers, Daniels Corp., have replied they have no such contract with Snow (Snow's lawyer acknowledges there's nothing in writing, though he argues an “exchange of considerations” is legally binding.”) Slightly old news, perhaps, but when you think about it, it's a wily bit of PR on the part of the Snow Camp

It gave me exactly no pleasure today to shruggingly pan the AGO's Julian Schnabel show, Art + Film . More than anything, I guess I hated having to do it at all; so much ink has been spilled on Schnabel's art career over the years — most of it bloody — that I felt like my adding to the pile was an exercise in general futility. Still, everyone has to have a job, and part of mine, at least, is writing about shows, so I did what I had to in the space that I had to do it.

Julian Schnabel: Picking up the pieces
Illustration: Otto Eckmann. Carpet design, c1898. The German artist Otto Eckmann, initially trained as a fine artist and then turning full time to the applied and decorative arts, became one of the central characters of the Jugendstil movement in Germany

I am FINISHED with my Commissioned Paintings… and almost caught up with my Shipping! So….I decided to take a break from shipping and show my Rustic Goth Zibbet Shop some ‘love’

Though it doesn’t open officially until Sept.15, I discovered on a recent visit — to get another look at Julian Schnabel — that one third of the AGO's exhibition “At Work,” featuring three mini-solo shows in parallel from Agnes Martin, Eva Hesse and Betty Goodwin, quietly opened to the public Monday. It's the Goodwin portion of the exhibition, and, like Goodwin herself, it's a quietly intimate stunner. A few larger pieces hang on walls all their own, but the centrepiece, a vast collection of Goodwin's sketchbooks, sit in vitrines, revealing the moments that built her deeply personal practice.

Shhh — Goodwin open at the AGO
Also in New York, I fought the Saturday crowds to get a look at Haunted, the Guggenheim's extraordinarily thoughtful, well-mounted exhibition of contemporary photography and video. Thoughtful because, above it all, it strives to make connections beyond simple media and into the realm of idea, reference and intent, understanding formal concerns like appropriation — a huge current in the early moments of conceptualism, and a lingua franca of contemporary art today — and its connections across that epochal divide.

Haunted: Luis Jacob at the Guggenheim
As kind of a last minute thing, I took off to New York for the weekend, and in the 36 hours (minus sleep) I had to spend there, I managed to take in the Starn twins' (Mike and Doug's) mind-bendingly great (however oddly named) installation “You Can't You Won't You Don't Stop,” a vertiginously parasitic-seeming, two-story high tangle of bamboo installed on the roof deck of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. That deck has always been one of my favourite places on earth, a rare oasis of tranquility amid the madness of the city; with the installation, you'd think its zen-like vibe would be disrupted by an inevitable sense of claustrophobia, but not really; rather, it makes you aware of not just itself, but the built structure with which it bluntly intervenes. In a revelatory sort of way, its chaotic, organic assembly of material counters the ordered stone structure of the building, that softening and and balancing both (its uncanny ordered filtering of the piercing sunlight was extraordinarily gorgeous, too).
