John Marriott's "The sum of some" and Team Macho's "3 out of 5 ain't bad", exhibitions shown at OPTICA until April 16th, are briefly mentioned and recommended in Canadian Art's "Agenda Quebec" section :
"Sidestepping post-conceptualism's usual one-line pitfall, Marriott makes smartly parodic works that outlast the initial chuckle. His multidisciplinary pieces merge disparate objects and narratives to upturn modernist ideals and invite visceral responses. The lively collective Team Macho shows concurrently."
