    About this ebook

    Power is the most ugly term in leadership. It brings forward crass imagery and evokes the rhetoric of hard leadership. And in the arts, the entire idea of power feels as though it dirties the soft elements of artistic expression. Ignoring the discussion of power and its ro

      The Artist’s Challenge

      Nov 1, 2019

      Formal education within fine art institutions often direct students to learn from art history. It is common to see artists continue their research to include the work of other artists including ‘old masters’. A profound influence for Bernard Leach wa

      Tell Us What You Really Think: A Survey on the Landscape of Canadian Art Criticism

      Mar 15, 2020

      “Do you think anyone will read it?”“Okay, but did you actually like the show?”“Have you gotten paid yet?” Like any niche scene, art criticism and critics exist in tangled webs of camaraderie, competition and other contextual factors. Though we deeply

      Brett M. Levine’s Curatorial Intervention: History and Current Practices

      Aug 23, 2023

      Exhibitions of contemporary art are often slick, and in polished spaces, apparently emptied of elements save for the artworks we have come to see. A painting hung here, a sculpture placed there – or perhaps a video work or found object accompanied by

      Seven Seconds In The Life Of The Honeyed Muse Or, What Is Art?

      Jan 1, 2019

      1.1 In trying to think about what art is, we might begin with the mind-clearing assumption that art itself is not a real entity, but a notion, an idea, a concept within which we group the real entities of “artist” (the maker) and a “work of art” (the

      Change

      Oct 28, 2019

      Why should a change of paradigm be called a revolution? In the face of the vast and essential differences between political and scientific development, what parallelism can justify the metaphor that finds revolutions in both? One aspect of the parall

      On Ways of Being Seen

      Dec 14, 2021

      Every so often, I return to books that shaped my thinking as a young person. Recently, I’ve done that with John Berger’s classic 1972 text on art history and mass media, Ways of Seeing. I was first assigned it in a film-studies class in high school,

      Your first curator ‘wearing beautiful shoes’ had as his central criterion in judging an artist's work and worth ‘a quality of reticence’. As for the second, his answer – 'It's not hard to tell who the salient artists of the period are' – he cannily s

      The Final Word

      Mar 13, 2020

      It seems strange to be writing an article extolling the virtues of preparatory reading in a magazine devoted to opera. Indeed, readers engage with Opera Canada to learn about singers, productions, recordings, and other aspects of the art form. Yet le
