Yesterday I went to the CAMH to see the Jane Alexander exhibit. I don't think I've ever used this word to describe an artist's work before, but it is freaky. Freakyfreakyfreaky.
The exhibit features a number of sculpture installations and also a series of photocollages. Almost all of them involve strange human-animal creatures. There are marching naked men with dog heads. Tiny men, in tiny suits, with monkey-like heads. Wingless birds. One of the pieces involves a miniature prison yard, surrounded by barbed-wire fences, rusty machetes and red rubber gloves. And a lamb-like guard.
Please take time to go see this exhibit. It is amazing.
