Montreal’s SNAP! magazine
I’ve been a big fan of free street magazine SNAP!, which casts a discerning eye over creative happenings in the artistic hub of Montreal, since they started. Having edited street mags in the past, I know how challenging it can be to assemble a crack team of writers and photographers and keep them enthused to improve the publication issue after issue. The team behind SNAP! have done this exceptionally well.
Each issue is more impressive than the last, and the latest one is a jaw dropper, not just because it’s physically so much bigger than previous ones (10×16 inches), but also because the content is absolutely compelling. Featuring a cover design by Calgary based mixed media artist Jared Larsen the bumper Summer issue riffs on ‘all things print, publication, and paper, from magazine culture to the decline in newsprint journalism, to discussions with six paper-based artists woking out of Montreal. Whether you’re based in Montreal or not, you’ll get something inspiring out of this wonderful independent quarterly.

New York car space being sold for 1 million dollars
Only in New York? We think so, though those in Tokyo may disagree. According to that reputable news source, the UK’s Daily Mail, a ‘developer of a luxury condo building in New York City’s Greenwich Village has listed a parking spot for $1 million’. That’s right. And the spot only holds one car, measuring in at an underwhelming 12 feet by 23 feet. So is it even semi-reasonable to ask this much? The New York Post thinks not. They’ve determined that ‘driver would have to rack up a $115 illegal parking ticket every day for 24 years before reaching the cost of this luxury garage’. Ah, the joys of deep pockets.

Julien Berthier’s public installation art rearranges and subverts reality by forcing paradoxes and illusions in our environment — a balcony attached to a crane that can be placed against any building, an apparently sinking boat that’s actually a sculpture that’s safely anchored, or a tree stump that looks like it’s chopping itself down with a limb that’s been turned into an ax.
