The only thing I could really find online were these two excerpts from videos by Ms. Biggs. M. Dorion does not appear to do the internet and Mlle. Moreau hasn’t updated her website in a couple of years.

The EZ Montreal Art Podcast, episode 5, Melanie Gilligan at Vox

Howdy!

Last month Eloi Desjardins from Un show de mot’arts and I got together to discuss art in Montreal in the summer. We were in Joliette to see the Jacques Hurtubise exhibit there (more on it later) but the conversation quickly got focused on the Melanie Gilligan exhibit Popular Unrest at Galerie Vox. This is the second part of a recording we made at the same time as the The EZ Montreal Art Podcast episode 4, Ryoji Ikeda at DHC/Art.

And then we finish up with some shows that we think might be worthwhile seeing

(And if you missed episode 1, it’s here.)

The EZ Montreal Art Podcast, episode 1. Eloi and Zeke have at it about Quebecois Art and the media.

Howdy!

Last week Eloi Desjardins of Un show de mot’arts, stopped by La Cabane and we had a conversation about the Quebecois art media, or lack thereof. Eloi wanted to know where and how to find what little was written, and then the conversation veered towards non-traditional outlets, the theories behind what and how we write and if it is possible to make money writing about Quebecois art. It’s approximately the 672nd podcast I have done (533 Audio and 139 video). But is episode 1 of The EZ Montreal Art Podcast.

Since then, we have had a discussion, and it looks like this will be a regular feature on both of our websites, although not necessarily identical, as the idea is for each of us to take the raw audio file and edit it how we see fit. Next time, we’re going to do it in a much, much quieter place, and I think the discussion will be centered around the Wesselmann and Ikeda exhibits currently on view.
