Mercer Union (1286 Bloor W.): 'We Interrupt This Program' through 12/12

http://www.mercerunion.org/show.asp?show_id=636

The artworks grouped in this survey exhibition originally circulated by alternative distribution, appearing through the platform of a magazine ad or TV spot rather than through the formal avenues of gallery or museum display. Many evidence a conceptual tendency, preferring to disseminate ideas over objects and each performs a disruptive function, whether an antagonistic stance or an afirmation of the poetics of art for the millions.

"When I first walked into the exhibit, I was slightly shocked to see how small it was. ..."

blog review via http://cskiadaresis.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/mercer-union-we-interrupt-this-program/

"When you go, it is essential to pick up Sheridan’s exhibition brochure, a fantastic full program (a souvenir, really) done, from stem to stern, in the style of TV Guide. In it are expository blurbs on the exhibit’s many pieces — presented as TV-show synopses, natch — which tell the story of how artists have used the mid-century mass-media formats of TV and magazines as their canvases."

Join the Mad Men November 26th at Mercer Union Gallery


We’ve gotten through some difficult times this year – a weak economy, marketing budget cuts, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. So in the interest of marketers everywhere, we introduced our Marketing Budget Bailout Plan. And they loved it. The people wanted change, and we gave it to them. The people wanted value, and we gave them that too. The stimulus package included our award-winning creative services; from strategic planning and account management to ideation and concept development.

In fact, it attracted so much interest that we’re back with even better news. We’ve added even more value. With the inclusion of photography by Westside Studio, TV production by Cartilage, KG&A Public Relations, and printing and production by Somerset Graphics, this package, valued at $300,000*, could be yours – without paying any fees.
