top thirty things in ottawa
1)my truck book carefully repackaged and archived, for someone who has spent so much time on the ephermeal, having something last forever, was humbling, and made me feel v modest, a general feeling i get when i am treated as a professional.
2) beer in 7-11s
3) the conference centre beside the hilton
4) the joyce weiland text peice : man has reached out and touched the tranquil moon, puffy letters, crafting, a wry nationalism, and a charming looseness.
5) that algonquin and assoniboe work were included along with the thomsons, v. little of that work, and the work was put into a side gallery, which are problems, but the beading and felt work were impresive
6) W Blair Bruce's Les Naied, 1896 dozens of fat and happy naked women frolic in a white foam, with a rainbow overhead, sometimes the foam is so thick that only hints of flesh emerge, it looks so bright and so lively, a pornographic joie d vie that i thot was invented in california 50 years after the painting was done
7) louis reil's hand beaded coat, from moose leather, in amongst the other first nations stuff, in an almost random assortment, at the musuem of civ, it almost brought me to tears, and for someone who was so mystical, it should have been in a reliqury.
8) a cranach nude, where all that covers her is a diaphonous draping, and two thick gold chains, matched with the one i saw in berkley last year, where the woman was wearing nothing but a giant fur stole, that started with her genitals and moved past both shoulders, cranach's celebration of the erotic, and the sly critiques of previous painters, who kept trying to convince us that a white sheet over the important bits kept both the subjects and the viewers deceny in check--cranach's nudes remind me of titans venus and the olympia, in how they look straight at us, that the models know why they are there.
9) a big, juicy noland, in its own room. with varriations of yellow (ochre, butter); pink (hot, fuschia), purple (lavendar, mauve) and blue (cornflower powder), in alternating stripes, to suggest a logical conclusion
10) agnes 1985 white rose, not a peroid i like from her, but it combined the brassy instinct of the other work in the 80s, with the slight, humming/wavering of the work earlier. most likely (and i will have to research this) a transition peice.
11) Guston, Room, 1970, which struck me as castratey
12) Hans Building Greins Death, The Maiden and The Serpent, where death is portayed as a man whose flesh is peeling.
13)Niagra Region Covlets, hand weaved and vegetable dyed from 1825-1870
14 A big Glenn Gould Show, including original scores, collections of his petula clark records, two of his pianos, a lot of new media work, and videos at the musuem of civ--the videos of him in studio, kvethcing and joking with engineers, sort of reminded me of Stritch at the Sondhiem reheaserls for Company, with the same me against the world collectively, and they sort of blew away the thesis of crank/lone genius that haunts him, there were also some minor discussions, hints and accusations of his queerness, but nothing explicit, which was a little disappointing.
15) Holy Spirit, 1900, Carving of the Dove for a Gateinua Quebec Church, looks vaguely Brazillian and Vaguley like a pigeon, but i love polychrome abstractions like that.
16) hand beaded work by anon lakota, northern plains, cree, slavey, sioux, blackfoot, mohawk, and ivey crafts people, not enough space to see them individually, and an amazing assinobie war horse mask, in an all over zig zag pattern of grass green and pearl white beads, which was not shown two d, sadly.
17)Stanley Spencer's Masterfully painted cherry trees
18) cornell box, sadly not one that is allowed to work anymore, but one wiht hte parrot (peeling)
19) the dick of a v. pretty rodin
20) a couple of half way decent cezanne works, including a v. late mt st victorie that was all gash and slash
21 chardin's the governess, from (1780?) for the grey door opening onto a grey wall as a grey child stands looking at a grey governess
22) a poussin landscape that was inscrutable as ever
23) fuseli dream of belinda, that had all of his creatures climb out from under and over and on top of the drame, including a nightmarish little homonclous literally hiding under the bed.
24) Beucre Deco Pottery from Quebec
25) William Hollman Hunt and Rossetti (of Dante, not great, but the Hunt, wow all bearded madness) (got a postcard of it)
26) mid 60s bright blue woolen uniforms for canadian airlines
27) the entire room, with reprudctions of broadsides, sounds, and interesting didacic panels, dedictated to the winnipeg strike.
28) the scale model of govern sask.
29) the epic, 100 foot across, dome mural of the seasons, by janvier. with some pretty straight edge geometric abstraction, unusal for him.
30) a chock a block show of quebecious folk art, lots of agricultural work, including some mosiacs made from egg shells and vegetable dyes, mostly domestic scenes, by Jacqueliene Tremblay.

two things
1) i got a full time job today.
2) i did an assesment, one of those ones that actually suggest i have more life skills then i give myself credit for, have to wait another month though, because the agency that gave me the assesment does not deal with dual diagnosis (ie mental illness and devolpmental disabilities) so they have another one who does--it is weird that what i think of in my head as just crazy is by the authorities to be two distinct conditions.

totally prefunctory job interview, with a 15 minute wait, and no discussion of salaris of benefits until i get the job.
house i could settle for is not answering the phone, and her mail box is now full so i cannot leave a message.
no email contact from perfect place.
still homeless. still jobless.
wait for odsp is 6 months, wait for ontario works is more then 2. a bunch of interviews with social services set up, but they are all intake, information sessions, prelimanry stuff, which may or may not (i am guessing not) push into something significant.
3200 in the bank.

at peters, time for a minor link dump:
which magazine covers british mid century magazine, continued to the 80s, same style as pelican paper backs, beautiful.
who thot that hazmat orange and robins egg blue would not only work together, but soften brutal concrete enough to make it charmingly domestic---case study from rural finland.
bitchy type jokes are amusing.
discussion of the leham corperate collection
poorly thot out and not very politically astute art, for obama.
a reapprisal of Victorine Meurent in the gaurdian, she might not have been a whore and a drunk, and she was defintely an artist in her own right.
samantha cohn takes lovely photos of men, often with out their shirts off, with low key, semi dark lighting.
The head of the American United Steel Workers rips apart the racism of the working classes, vis a vis Obama, in an old school, 30s style barn burner of a speech, really worth watching.
the new york times discusses the circualr logic and inability to stay on question, but not the hero worship, that were hallmarks of palins debate strategy
