Last year around this time I visited to the Artist Project, an newish art fair in Toronto. There wasn't a lot that impressed me on that outing, though I did list a few highlights here on the blog. Overall, I found the offerings were quite uneven.
This weekend, as the project recurs, I'm again not sure what to expect. This fair is a bit of a strange bird for organizer MMPI—it seems like they're trying to find some hybrid between its home-designy-and-wide-appeal-oriented One of a Kind Show and its cognoscenti-laden and fine-arty Armory Show (which actually runs on the same weekend in New York).
Nonetheless, I will be going to see the show, and even talk at it a little bit about different ways of valuing art—personal, emotional, social, and financial, among other takes. My "Art Chat" will take place from 1 to 2pm on Sunday, March 7, at the fair, which is in the Queen Elizabeth Building at Exhibition Place. The talk is free with fair admission, which is $12 at the door, $10 if you buy online, including free readmission all weekend. For more details visit www.theartistprojecttoronto.com.

Today! Free student screening of Yoshitomo Nara film @ Reel Artists
Ample snowfall has cancelled some school buses in southern Ontario today. But I hope some students still make it out to the Yoshitomo Nara film screening at Reel Artists this afternoon. Why? I'm introducing the flick, and found it to be surprisingly sweet and touching as a story. It screens at 2:30pm at the Al Green Theatre. For more information on student ticketing (ID and some advance confirmation is required) visit canadianart.ca/raff/schedule.
