 Hi, art lovers! | | |  | (Stéphane Bourgeois) | | | Before the weekend, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the TikTok ban, and wouldn’t you know it, one of the most bizarre stories we ran this past week started on the app: the tale of a Canadian art installation that inspired a flurry of #fakenews about space junk. (Find that article after the jump.)
While we were reporting on Canadian satellites (that didn’t actually go) crashing to Earth, the folks at Q were talking to homegrown stars. Listen to feature interviews with The Last Showgirl’s Pamela Anderson and American Primeval’s Taylor Kitsch. Also on the program: a chat with Paul Gross and Martha Burns, who star in a new production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (We have a story about that show, too. Skip to “You’ve got to see this” to read all about it.) | | | | | Because we promised you eye candy ... | | | | |  | Artwork: Justin Favela; Photo: Toni Hafkenscheid/Art Gallery of Guelph | | Note to self: plan a road trip to the Art Gallery of Guelph to see Entrelazados by Guatemalan Mexican American artist Justin Favela. The show is on through May 4 and includes more paper works like this one: Valle de México Tomado en las Cimas de Tepeyac, After José María Velasco I. | | | | |  | Wei Li | | Veins of Connection by Calgary-based artist Wei Li. | | | | |  | Laurent Pagano/Exmuro | | | | | Calm down, TikTok. It’s just art by a Hamilton sculptor. See why Brandon Vickerd’s Alouette is having a huge impact online. | | | | |  | Dahlia Katz | | | | | Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and a new social satire, Wights, are now on stage in Toronto. | | | | |  | Lee-Anne Poole | | | | | | | For her new show, Talk Sexxxy, Lee-Anne Poole is in confessional mode. Based on her experience working as a phone-sex operator, it’s playing to sold-out crowds in Halifax. | | |  | Hannah Epstein | | She’s the host of Canvassing Canadians, a CBC Creator Network series that is bonkers in all the best ways.
