EZ Montreal Art Podcast: Lynne Cohen

Howdy!

In this episode Eloi Desjardins and Chris ‘Zeke’ Hand discuss the Lynne Cohen exhibit False Clues / Faux Indices at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. During the discussion they manage to also talk about the Lynne Cohen portfolio in Ciel Variable 89, how she is represented by Art 45, how she was in the 2007 Montreal Biennale and the 2001 Mois de la photo. Zeke’s apartment is mentioned as a possible subject, and how Ms. Cohen doesn’t use Photoshop but possibly uses a variety of darkroom techniques (such as dodging and burning). Zeke thinks that Ms. Cohen should trade pictures with Pierre Dorion. Zeke and Eloi discuss the catalogue for False Clues / Faux Indices and mention in passing Andreas Gursky, Vik Muniz and Adad Hannah. They wonder where the exhibit will tour. They then talk about the various ways to become a member of the museum and admission prices. Eloi wants to know what people want to hear and Zeke lists the exhibits he want to go see.
