New Painting: Transience
I think transience sums up the meaning of this exhibit. For me, the sky has always personified the fleeting nature of our experiences. Clouds have the capacity to connote every emotion and mood, which never last long, but are nonetheless powerful when they occ...

Heartbreak and Hilarity in New Video Work by Duke and Battersby
I’ve always liked Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby’s work, though it’s hard to articulate why. Their videos- richly textured, vaguely surreal- have intrigued me ever since I saw the first one at a screening in Toronto a number of years ago. The couple (re...

Abstract painting meets experimental media at MSVU

The very nature of the term e...
