Michael The One-Gloved Muse

“The history of art holds many examples of performers who have ignited the imagination of artists. Compelled to bask in their often strange and lurid glow, artists draw closer, like moths to the flame… If a group of emerging Toronto artists is to be believed, Michael Jackson serves as just such a lightning rod today.” Yup, it’s that Michael Jackson, and much of the art inspired by His Strangeness is every bit the sarcastic dreck you’d expect. Still, “some of the work is surprisingly sincere.”
