My invitation to the next press conference at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal.

Phew!! My ego was taking a beating there for a little bit. But I got my invite to the next show at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. Although it’s obvious that people in the local museum world have a very short memory. Back in 2006 the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal was supposed to exhibit Fierce Friends, as far as I can tell a beastiary in painting and sculpture.

However for reasons that are murky (my best guess would be it didn’t attract the crowds) they decided instead to organize Sound and Vision on very short notice.
