Review

Best thing is the green room where there are huge chandeliers, and a green abexpressionist painting in an aluminium frame. Next door is glimpsed the shabby Godl room. These rooms are not part of the show.

Generation X's Coupland is a writer with a talent for catchphrases, this is his attempt at visual art about Canadian identity. If you think contempoarary art installations are bad then this expo will prove that they could be worse. In an amateurs hand you get a collection of beer cans, old food tins, a quilt with a hub cap on it etc. making very very very tedious statements and jokes about Canadianness with the subtlety of a sledgehammer and the visual delicacy of an art student.
