• Northwest Coast Art and Scholasticism

  
  Off the Wall — Authority: 116
  I appreciate Northwest Coast art for many reasons. It is semi-abstract, which always captures my imagination. It has a historical and sociological aspect, so I can combine intellectual and aesthetic interests. It is the art of my home, although not of my culture.

• The Vancouver 2010 Aboriginal Art Exhibition

  
  Off the Wall — Authority: 116
  I’m not looking forward to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I never watch sports, and I’m concerned about the costs, traffic, and the virtual declaration of martial law during the games.
