M s. Yates’ video is of Blue Bonnets being transformed
Before, during and after U2 performed
Long static shots
How do you connect if there are no dots?
S ome interesting angles with some interesting views
Oddly compelling, I kept looking for clues.
It’s not the type of art I normally praise
But after looking at so much art, I might have been in a daze.

L ots of pictures of people reading a book
Kinda interesting, thought provoking and worth a look.
Shoved in a corner
Now that Eve lives in New York, she’s a foreigner.
S lightly more than simple visual representation
There’s a theory that she uses as a foundation
For the basis of her works
If you scratch the surface you can see where it lurks

T his one is a sham,
I guess there was a paper jam.
Speakers playing a recording
Is not very rewarding.
T he real thing
Had some swing
Hearing and seeing the noises, squeaks and creaks
From four printers now considered antiques.

G ive me a break,
This one takes the cake
It must be a mistake.
C anvas scrap
On a pen cap
There’s an obvious rhyme here, but I’m not falling into that trap.
T he catalogue has it prominently displayed
I think it is a big charade
Can I go back in time and have it unmade?

A bout Loveland, I’ve already written
But I can do more since I’m smitten
I wonder when filming, did Chuck wear mittens?
O n the horizon a purple cloud
The audio starts quiet and gets quite loud
Tim Hecker should be proud.
B ased on an early sci-fi book
Just like a Motown song, it’s got a killer hook
Mr. Stankievech is the opposite of a mook .

I t could be translated as “without a paddle”
For this art there is no line to straddle.
The propper translation of Jusqu’au cou
Should’ve been without a clue.
A bunch of construction paper tacked to a wall
And a bunch of paper tubes, that’s all.
Nothing serious,
Sort of ridiculous
P aper art when done well
Can compel.
Peter Callesen , Jen Stark ,
Both make their mark.
Brian Dettmer , Richard Sweeney ,
Both could be called genies.
Bert Simons , Guy Laramée
Will never be passe
