My day job has been a zoo lately and I feel like an over-rung dishrag when I get home, so I’ve been spending some time veggin’ in front of the television. The other night I came across a positively ancient broadcast of a CBC televsion show from the 60′s and 70′s: Telescope. This half-hour documentary focused on Canadian artist Alex Colville. The whole episode was rather interesting, once you got past the ridiculous clothing and hairstyles of course, but I think my favourite bit was a statement Colville made about where he would rather have his artwork would end up, in a museum or a private collection:
I prefer my work goes into a private collection where some person or small group of persons will look at it, live with it every day. It becomes a piece of daily life.
