Reflecting on Reflection
What a great way to start the new year! The first exhibition at Visual Voice Art Gallery was a workshop with my friend Melanie Matthews. We had already worked together last year, when Melanie booked Visual Voice for her Fusion Infusion atelier and exhibition. This time around her theme was self-portraiture, and her list of [...] -
Inflatable Deities at Visual Voice
It’s a psychedelic dream. My gallery has been transformed into a giant 1970s album cover, complete with day-glow colours, black light, and a pile of vintage TV monitors. I allowed the Inflatable Deities (Jessica Mensch and Emily Pelstring) free reign, knowing that the best art happens when you allow artists to do their thing. Emily [...] -
Freedom Sparks – Open Call for Entries for Art Videos
I’ve teamed up with my friend Michele over at Light Cube in New York, and together we’re organizing a film festival to be held at my gallery. I think what Light Cube are doing is brilliant: they provide artists with a distribution platform for their art videos. So many contemporary artists are now creating art [...] -
New WordPress Theme
I’m giving this new WordPress theme a try. It’s supposed to feature all my images in a beautiful slide show. The emphasis here is on “supposed”. In the meantime, my blog looks like a dog’s dinner. Upgrades are hard. Bear with me. -
Nuit Blanche à Montréal 2010
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rykD5VtnEcE My Nuit Blanche à Montréal 2010 event at the Visual Voice Art Gallery was a fantastic! The Belgo building received 8,900 visitors between 8:00p.m. and 3:00 p.m. so it was a full house! I was on my feet the entire night, and with the help of my gallery assistant Richard we kept visitors to [...] -
Reveal! A Call for Entries for www.artandculture.com artists
As much as I enjoy the steady stream of young, up-and-coming artists which exhibit at my gallery, once in a while I like to curate my own show. For December I have slated an exhibition at Visual Voice titled “Reveal! Inside the Artist’s Mind“, which will showcase pages form artists’ sketchbooks. Killing two birds with [...] -
The Finissage
I’m catching up with my blogging. I realize I haven’t posted an pictures from the Kaléidoscope Latin Finissage yet! The “Finissage” was basically a closing party, to thank my two Latin American Mariana Escribano and Maria Idilia Martins (form Mexico and Venezuela respectively) for making their way north and staying in Montreal for a month [...] -
Festival!
I had just about touched down in Montreal after my two-week trip to Germany when preparations started for the Festival International Montréal en Arts (FIMA). My gallery is partnering with FIMA, helping the festival to attract a more international component. So, starting with the FIMA dates and continuing through the month of July, Visual Voice [...] -
Cosmic Squares
Until the end of today another colourful collection of celestial paintings is gracing the walls of the Visual Voice Art Gallery. The Painted Universe 2008 was fun as always, drawing in friends and strangers, adults and kids. I noticed that the adults were more apprehensive about participating in the event; I guess for some of [...] -
Animal Parallels
I’ve been looking forward to presenting this exhibition since last autumn, when I first met Japanese artist Yuka Higashiura. Yuka dropped by my gallery with her portfolio of prints, looking for a place to show her work. After examining a few examples of her work I knew she would be perfect for Visual Voice Gallery. [...]
