Making a list of nifty gifties
Trash the tie. Pitch the perfume. Instead, check out the local art galleries for original Christmas presents – from $5 to $1,000.
…Nobody can afford to miss the third Glo show at Archive Inc. The exhibition features 35 artists offering work priced from $500 to $1000, and the lineup is stellar. Montreal photographer Holly King’s mystical glass sphere surrounded by roses is $700. There is a stunning electric wreath from Lisa Neighbour for $900 and an utterly ravishing Polaroid collage by Andrea Szilasi for $500. Great stuff, too, from such cutting-edge artists as Eldon Garnet, John Armstrong, Michelle Gay, Evan Penny, Gunilla Josephson, John Scott, Jeannie Thib, and many more. Until Jan. 30
