Off-Line & Left Behind: Why Living Artists Suck by Not Having a Web Site

ARTIST: Joane Cardinal-Schubert (1942–2009) / Urban Warshirt – Metro Techno 

What a way to come back from the holidays. Just this week I received my CARFAC newsletter in the mail, flipped through to the obits and found out — months after the fact, don't ya know — that one of my favourite First Nations artists had passed away. I remembered the first time I had seen Joane Cardinal-Schubert's work: it was a two-person show with Jane Ash-Poitras (who I have an unbelievable and relentless hankering for), back in the early '90s at Harbourfront. And it was awesome, particularly her The School installation, which for the record, after an hour plus of Google searching, I couldn't find a great picture of to share.
