file under: remember art?
woke up feeling much in need of some artcrawling (despite the shit weather, which was your garden variety dark 'n' dismal), so i headed down to queen street west because after a few years here in toronto i'm still unsure where else to find decent art galleries.
i thought it would be a good weekend to go because it was safe from any first-of or end-of the month puttings up or down of shows, but i was completely ignorant of the fact that it was actually a good weekend to go because it was taafi time.
honestly, i went into the gladstone to check things out, walked up the lovely staircase, then promptly balked at the $7 admission. i know that sucks, but there was enough stuff in the usual suspects to be seen for free (i also poked my head into the solé gallery for the first time, and was impressed by the space, if not so much the art).
i'm sure the gladstone and drake were both serving up some interesting stuff, but i don't really feel too bad about not committing to it today.
while checking out taafi's site after the fact, i was interested to see will munro's name mentioned. he came up in a conversation recently with N because she found out that he is now co-owner of the fabled beaver, which was the proud host of LB and AG's reception last night.
VF has also mentioned him when we were talking about dj nights, and i recall an awesome art installation he had up for while as well. busy-bodies are inspiring!
anyway, being out and going to the regular galleries reminded me that my own artistic output has lapsed beyond the excusable, and that i need to be doing stuff again. so what else is new?
