In season two, episode 5.5 of the EZ Montreal Art Podcast, Eloi Desjardins and Chris ‘Zeke’ Hand discuss the recent events at The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. Specifically, the resignation of their director and head curator.

Some corrections to the podcast: Alexandre Taillefer sold one company to Quebecor and a second to Electronic Arts. Not three to Quebecor. Paulette Gagnon resigns on June 1, not January 1.

Some of the articles discussed during the podcast are
Le Bon, un troisième homme pour la tête du Louvre
Nathalie Bondil dans la liste des candidats pour diriger le Louvre
MAC Montreal Rocked By Staff Departures & Plans to Cut More
Tout le monde en parle Émission du dimanche 7 avril 2013

And instead of a trivia question, we are asking everyone to send in their suggestions of whom should run the museum. The best suggestions will win an opportunity to drink Burgundy wine with Eloi and Zeke. Email us at ezmontrealart@gmail.com

Pierre Dorion Talking About his Exhibit at the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal

Howdy!

Last November I had the chance to interview Pierre Dorion about the exhibit he had at the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal and about his practice. I was finally able to finish editing it over the holidays. If you have a spare 37 minutes to watch, I think hope you might like it.

or if you prefer YouTube to Archive.org

Either way I’d suggest watching it on a fullscreen as the native resolution is 1280 x 720, and it was filmed in HD.
