Episode 85 - Aftermath

So we are here in Toronto and we saw the Turner exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

I think the three of us all got something out of the exhibit.  Jon and I particularly liked looking at his work really close up, and then backing off a bit and seeing something different depending upon how far away we were.

We then saw a bunch of other stuff, I mean how often are we at the AGO?  So we checked out Camera Atomica which is a pretty groovy exhibit of photos and such about the Cold War.  On of Isabelle's profs is in the exhibit which rocks.

Then we saw some Canadian stuff and even got a little talk from a guide, which was great.  Oh and it was about someone who in her early career painted cows!

Finally we got back to the hotel and hung out a bit and just talked about our day and had a drink.  We also of course weighed in on the horrible attacks in Paris. 

Vive La France.

Episode 84 - On Our Way to Turner

Jon, Isabelle and I are on our way to Toronto to go to an exhibit of JMW Turner's works at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Oh and this episode starts with a message from an Australian listener!

So we drove down and we talked about Turner, art and the idea of going to Toronto and thinking back to our early 20s when we first met in Toronto.
