Artifier

I love it when an artwork makes me feel like I am in the middle of a scene. My mind keeps wondering what’s happening there but also how we got here and what happens next.

That’s exactly what I feel when I see the work by .hawk. A bit playful, a bit mysterious. Totally magical!

Over the weekend, the nyt shared an article about a ski resort with art installations by James Turrell and Jenny Holzer, among other artists.

This ambitious outdoor art program was conceived by Netflix co-founder and former CEO Reed Hastings (who bought the ski resort in 2023) and it is set to open in 2026.

Mindy Stricke: Fringes
On view at

I love window galleries!! - This one is located at 402 College St and presents site-specific contemporary art installations connected to the Jewish experience (Fentster is Yiddish for Window).

About this work:

“In a new work, multidisciplinary artist, Mindy Stricke explores the unpredictable landscape of parenting a young teen. […] The artist creates a wearable map in the form of an evocative tallit (a prayer shawl with fringes on each corner) as a gift for Noa, which marks her place in the city where she became a bat mitzvah and within her lineage.

Montreal’s environs merge with a geography formed from images of Noa and relatives when they became b’nei mitzvah at age thirteen. The invented topography reflects the artist’s experience as a neurodivergent, q***r, polyamorous Jewish woman gaining the courage to question inherited maps, and also trusting her children to discover their own paths. When a new route must be charted, those on the fringes lead the way.”
