Cheap shots and expensive visuals

In the People's Republic of Montréal taking a quick post–Labor Day break, visited the Musée de l'Art Contemporain (MAC!) to become acquainted with an art scene in North America of which I was wholly unaware, extraordinarily fine and lively, especially in 50s and 60s modernism. Illustrations here from the more or less present, in the brilliant and hilarious work of Michel de Broin (b.1970).
Hole, 2002

A hole barely large enough for one person to enter was pierced through the back of a trailer. The hole was  installed temporarily in various Montreal neighborhoods.
