despite the marlboro-man-like ads, the rodney graham exhibit at the musée d’art contemporain was not about cowboys at all (well, except for that one work). while going through, I couldn’t help thinking that these seemed like things that some of my friends would do. like the film of him sitting in a chair with a huge pile of potatoes, throwing them one by one at a gong. for 15 minutes. with spectators. (and then he made vodka with all the potatoes.)
