Forty-degrees celcius and sunshine. I couldn’t have asked for better weather for my day in Hakone. Tofu-skin milkshakes (mango flavoured) and fun vending machine beverages cooled us down. Despite the hot and sticky weather we still stuck our feet in the sixty-five degrees celcius foot bath! I cannot stress how incredible this open air museum was, IT’S A MUST. I was elated and could’ve spent hours upon hours there.

My Hometown. Michelangelo Lovelace. 1998.

After visiting the fantastic food markets of Cleveland, and sampling ALL of the popcorn we were ready to head to The Cleveland Museum of Art. It’s situated on a street amongst other cultural institutions, one could easily get the impression that this was a tonier part of town,It’s always nice when the museum’s building is as magnificent as its contents.…

Looking back ;)

Pierre Huyghe’s Untilled (Liegender Frauenakt)

Welcome to The Hearn. The site for this year’s Luminato Festival. The Hearn Generating Station is said to be three times the size of the Tate Modern, who knew? I was immediately drawn to it after seeing images of this desolate site, and the fact that it was to house some of Toronto’s most coveted art pieces. False, the physical pieces are not actually there, but are still in their private and public collections across the city. Instead one is faced with an image of each item along a brick wall on the upper floor of The Hearn.

The walk over was pretty awesome, it was easy to decipher who was headed to Cabana and who was going to the Luminato Festival. Bentleys vs bikes—> just kidding.

Artists f****** love abandoned spaces so this site was perfect for this event. The installations were somewhat interesting, some more than others.When installations don’t work out it’s a real shame. As it is it is often difficult to understand them, so if the sound or lighting is off, then it can ruin the piece altogether. But I was mainly just taken by the structure itself, from the overgrown grass to the restaurant that looked like it was out of an insane asylum.

It was pretty awesome when I peered down the hall and saw fluttering shadows. Only once going upstairs did I realize this was the giant disco ball that had been at the forefront of the Luminato’s press. I would love to attend more of the Luminato programs but time will tell. I highly recommend visiting gallery for starters.

Soliloquy 30″ x 60″ Acrylic, resin, gold leaf, bark, and leaves on Wood panel www.taniasanter.com A friend of mine had returned from OCADU’s Florence program-an opportunity given to students to study abroad.

I think for a lot of people who decide to study art at a university level they come to realize that being able to draw true to life is a prerequisite to get into these schools. During high school those who can copy exactly or create pieces that look highly realistic are deemed the amazing artists.Something happens when you study at a BFA level, at least in 2016. Being…
