EYE BUY ART at the Drake Hotel |
We’ve been frolicking away in the warm weather, talking ideas with the art-giftedly talented brain that is Mia Nielsen, Curator of the Drake Hotel in Toronto. More art incubator than hotel – we have decided to jump into their hotbed of culture to partner on an exciting program of site-specific, limited edition prints on the theme of “Canadiana”. I’ve always been fascinated with the souvenir section at the airport, and how we market ourselves to tourists, because nothing says “an authentic Canadian experience” like a stuffed Purple Moose Wall-Mount, or a Wildlife Trio in a Canoe pasta bowl. EYE BUY ART’s Canadian-based artists will each create a site-specific piece around the idea of “the Canadian souvenir” which we will release to you once a week during the entire month of May. More information will follow in our next newsletter – and be sure to act quickly because each image we release will be limited strictly to an 11x14” in an edition of 100. |

Many thanks to Hilary Burt for the invitation – we are extremely excited! EYE BUY ART is reading The $12 Million Dollar Stuffed Shark: the curious ecomomics of contemporary art. “Say you were going to buy a $200,000 painting. I think you should take that money, tie it up, and hang it on the wall. Then when someone visited you, the first thing they would see is the money on the wall” – Andy Warhol. Thanks to EYE BUY ART collector Mike Manson for the recommendation!
