weather

what can
one say about
this crazy weather

the
reason
i mention weather ...

the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition
is
rapidly
approaching

July 5, 6, and 7th

and
weather
is always to
be considered
when talking about   ...    the TOAE

words like
perfect
summer
days
and
perfect
summer
days
come to mind

and
there
is always
a word like
thunderstorm
for those who like
a little more kaboom


this
year
my
booth
number
is

YELLOW 318

where

i
will
have
my eyes
on perfect
summer days

there is a great essay
by Antoni Tapies titled
NOTHING IS TOO PETTY
in which he describes art as magic
the artist as magician and the space in
which it is presented as the theatre or stage
art
artist
venue
the magician
can make a coin
disappear almost anywhere
but can only make an elephant
disappear when in a particular setting
cafe art
street art
house art
gallery art
museum art
magic is a peculiar and beautiful thing
art is a peculiar and beautiful thing
for they both ultimately depend
upon the willingness of the
audience
one
can
only
experience
magic
experience
art
if
one
is
willing
if
one
desires
this applies to all art and to all magic
Tapies' essay is wonderful and insightful


and
coming
soon
july
5
to
july
7
is
the
Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition
where
art
artist
venue
audience
combine to create a perfect show
I
AM
EXCITED
TO
BE
ONE
OF
THE
ARTISTS
AT
THIS
VERY
SPECIAL
TORONTO
VENUE
FOR
ART
