A Short Time AGO


Laer messes with authority

We went to the Art Gallery of Ontario tonight. We being Laer, Ellaine, Emmaunel and I. It being Wednesday means that after 6pm the AGO is free. At least most of it is free. The exhibit on Ansel Adams and Alfred Eisenstaedt was not free, It was $15.

The thing that I found that was kind of dumb on the Art Gallery's part was that they sold prints of the photos just outside the exhibit. Why would anyone want to pay $15 to see the photo exhibit when they could just look at the prints in the souvenir shop?


Henry Moore sculptures surronded by cartoon drawings of an exotic dancer by Julian Opie.

Getting in for free to see the rest of the Art Gallery was a savings of $5, the amount you would have to pay should you want to look at the art at any other time. I thought $5 was a rip off just to see three rooms of art. I guess I'm a bit spoiled after finding out that the museum's in London are free and much, much larger in size.


Here you can see the dancer poles are lined up with the ceiling architecture
