Governor General's Visual and Media Arts Awards

So, this is pretty cool -

Two of my favourite (somewhat liquidy) Canadian artists have just been honored with the 2013 Governor General's Visual and Media Arts award!

One is Rebecca Belmore, the Anishinabe-Canadian artist I wrote about a few months ago (for her Fountain video) and the other is Gordon Monahan, an experimental sound artist who hasn't shown up on this blog, but I've shared his project Aquaeolian Whirlpool with the rest of the Liquid Intelligence crew before.

Here's a link to a video on Monahan's Aquaeolian Whirlpool project on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq3LS0GdY14

Here's the link to an article through Canadian Art:

Stay tuned! I just got back from another graduate conference in Toronto, I'll be sharing my thoughts here soon.
