Last night I was at Gallery 1313 as one of six guest panellists in The Role of the Art Critic, the first roundtable discussion (well, rectangular-table discussion) as part of Gallery 1313’s ArtSPEAK series, along with Toronto art writers and critics David Balzer, Peter Goddard, Claudia McKoy, the Editor-In-Chief of MIX, Stephanie Rogerson, Timothy Comeau, and last but not least, our moderator Nick Brown.Gallery 1313’s Director, Phil Anderson, did a fabulous job in organizing the event, which packed in a full-house despite the inclement weather of yesterday’s “perpetual snow”, and everyone involved was simply mahvelous to meet (though some were simply more mahvelous than others — saucy Timothy Comeau for instance or Stephanie Rogerson, with whom I share a fondness for Claude Cahun — but I may be biased as they were both on my end of the table).
