How can we capitalize on the advantages of the Internet over traditional media? IATWM is hardly the only web based publication to consider the advantages that are available to us. Moreover many of the exhibits that we featured in our pages travel to several locations over a series of years. Eternal Egypt is one such exhibit and IATWM's first ever update of an existing article adding focus to it's current move to Toronto from the United States. The Royal Ontario Museum has the honor of hosting this impressive and imposing collection that is on loan from The British Museum. Artwork should not be static and remained cemented to the walls but move throughout the world to bring diverse culture to as many interested visitors as possible. Eternal Egypt is the largest exhibition organized by the American Federation of Arts. In the interest of full disclosure IATWM takes this moment to thank Yves Fournier for his photographic skills and more importantly his working digital camera for the extra images we added to our Eternal Egypt update taken at the Royal Ontario Museum on February 26th, 2004. Yves, as it happens, is the contemporary artist featured in this month's edition of IATWM. He is not an employee of IATWM but a contemporary artist. For doing a favor to IATWM we felt it unfair to change our plans to include his landscapes in the April edition nor would it be proper not to provide credit where credit is due. The plans to feature Yves in a spring edition of IATWM were made last year after we saw his work at the Praxis Gallery and first met the artist. To quote from the most noble Order of the Garter, "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense" not that IATWM wishes ill on any. We'd prefer to say thank you to Yves. |
