Art ping.

Let Sam Cree, Woofie or me know if you want on or off the Art Ping list.

It's funny how normal the process sounds in the article, and then you see the empty things chosen for the show.

I do believe Gillian Carnegie is showing off her (his?) chops in the first painting... actually purposely demonstrating that she has skill. The second work shown by her is much more impressionist, but very powerful... I like it.

I'm mystified by Starling... is it just a political statement about fuel-efficient transportation? How is a bicycle art? How is a wood shed art, for that matter?

I'm sure I'd have to be there to appreciate Lambie...
