Leunig, lunatics and lumber yards

This sort of illustrates the point i made in my last post. (I think I was making a point...?) ah Leunig, where would the world be without you? But is he suggesting that galleries should always look like galleries? Why shouldnt they resemble lunatic asylums or the circus sometimes?

Example: Rearview gallery, Collingwood, has been turned into some type of organic, makeshift backyard tool shed / shearing shed / cubby house... whatever it is, its cool. spaces within a space. (and a hanging basket too, aww)  all the while on a big screen skype connection with artland gallery in vancouver where they are building stuff too! check out the blog @ http://woodbutchers.tumblr.com. and it was cool to help out with a bunch o' peeps as well. Nice work Kate and Maryline.

P.S. Went to Albert St, Richmond today where there is 9 (count em 9!) galleries in a city block. brilliant. does that happen in any other city in the world?...
