ArtStars* 32 - Mercer Union

ArtStars* 32 Mercer Union
Who knew that returning art supplies to Home Depot involves faking a marital breakdown?
Here at the 50 Light Fixtures from Home Depot opening at Mercer Union, Toronto conceptual artists Daniel Young and Christian Giroux show a short film of a white room with light fixtures that change every few seconds and the different colours those fixtures cast on the walls.
Daniel was making a documentary abroad and couldnt make the opening, but Christian shares a few excuses with us he used for the generous Home Depot return policy, as he calls it.
We also learn that curators always wear pointed heels, Mercer is no longer a party gallery and that Richard Rhodes, the editor of Canadian Art (who hired ArtStars* host Nadja Sayej as an editorial intern back in the day), doesnt want to be famous (or be interviewed). This is the second in the series of the Three Worst Episodes.
