Nonetheless, Meyer wonders why Wieland collected it – and why nobody thought to preserve it after her death from Alzheimer’s at the age of 67. And those thoughts, about art, archives and garbage, are the inspiration for, the show that launches the annual Progress Festival of Performance and Ideas on Jan. 30. It features some scripted action and some improvised, with three actors including Meyer herself, as well as a puppeteer: The marble is played by a puppet.
She was well-regarded in the 1960s and 70s both for her experiments with film, including manipulating the celluloid itself, and for her quilts, part of a feminist project adapting a traditional craft to fine art. Another well-known example of her work is a stuffed fabric hanging showing a herd of caribou that is located behind glass in the Spadina subway station in Toronto.
“She was a lot more fierce than people give her credit for,” Meyer said. “Her interests were way more complex than we were lead to believe.” She points to a 1986 interview unpublished during the artist’s lifetime in which she is highly critical of Trudeau, in particular for invoking the War Measures Act during the October Crisis of 1970.

Then, let's see how fast they resolve the issues facing the country! The Chinese government has easily influenced many of Canada’s weak willed politicians.

Alberta to tie funding for postsecondary institutions to performanceAlberta will be looking at targets such as postgraduation employment rates and wages, as well as increasing enrolment, to decide how much public money colleges and universities receive If he’s the one to convince Justin Trudeau to grow a beard that sure worked! Because he sure lost my vote. I'm curious to see how the universities rank depending on if their science departments follow the narrative of the 'Canadian Energy Centre'. Good. An investment is meant to have a return. The reality is that many programs add no value whatsoever to society.
