FISHEYE: Old Blue Eyes

Out in the Beaver Pond hike at Elk Island, this lone grazer with a strange blue eye seemed otherwise content enough, going about his careless buffalo business on a breezy afternoon.

The Joys of Mother’s Day

Must Mother’s Day always involve some combination of Eggs Benedict, Julie Andrews and Tom Jones? Yes. That’s just the way it is – so suck it up and show some love for the woman who gave you life, no less. You make her worry, you know. You really ought to call more often. A little […]

FISHEYE: Glad to the bone

Today, Mother’s Day, is your last chance to catch Brian Jungen’s captivating Cetology and Shapeshifter sculptures, hanging like giant whale skeletons on the third floor of the AGA. The entire gallery – building included – is extremely coherent right now, themes of native art, nature and bones fitting together seamlessly, not to mention good old […]

At Art Jam, the interpretive doctor is in

Fancy yourself an amateur psychiatrist? Maybe you even had a little booth a few years back and charged neighbours a nickel for advice. But then the Alberta Medical Association got wind of your little operation and shut you down so fast you scarcely had time to ask about their relationship with their mother. Fear not. […]

Free Comic book day a heroic venture, true believers

Stan Lee’s comic books talked to kids like they were adults, or at the very least intelligent, which isn’t always an adult trait. People don’t know this about Stan the Man, but he’s an incurable romantic. At the peak of its comic publishing powers — when a book was still cheaper than chocolate and some […]

FISHEYE: Out on a limb

Did you know Edmonton has one of the most massive and valuable collections of healthy trees – including American Elms – in the world?

Andy Warhol coming to Art Gallery of Alberta

Here’s a term you didn’t hear much of before Andy Warhol came along: “Pop art.” Then again, we hadn’t all become famous for 15 minutes yet. Not super clear on what all this means, but like all art, pop or not, you know it when you see it – and you can see some of […]
