Alex Colville's alma mater to unveil silkscreen prints

at 3:06 am on 1 Nov 2013

New Brunswick's Mount Allison University says it will unveil a major donation of artwork next month by Alex Colville, the iconic Canadian artist who died in July.

Alex Colville's Black Cat is part of the collection in the Owens Art Gallery at Mount Allison University.

Colville studied fine arts at the university in Sackville where he later created some of his most significant works, including Nude and Dummy and Horse and Train.

The 35 silkscreen prints were donated to the school's Owens Art Gallery in the spring by Colville himself in memory of his wife, Rhoda, who died in December 2012.

Mount Allison says they are the only silkscreen prints produced by the artist, making the gallery one of the only institutions to have a complete set of Colville prints in its collection.

The first print, After Swimming, was made in 1955 while the last, Willow, was made in 2002.

Friends and members of the Colville family are expected to attend an unveiling of the artwork at a reception planned for Nov. 2 at Mount Allison.

Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor on having fun making music

at 1:27 pm on 28 Oct 2013

Singer-songwriter Greg Keelor's farmhouse was the birthplace of Blue Rodeo's most acclaimed album, Five Days in July, so the band felt it fitting to return there to record new work during their 25th anniversary year.

The familiar setting set a comfortable, relaxed tone for what became the country-tinged Canadian rock band's new album, In Our Nature, according to Keelor and co-frontman Jim Cuddy.

"It's OK to have fun making music. It's OK. You don't have to, you know, torture yourself for your art. It's actually good to be relaxed. Keep your senses keen, but be relaxed," Cuddy told CBC News.

In the attached video,Cuddy and Keelor, who have been performing together since their school days, talk to CBC's Zulekha Nathoo about recording at the farm, modifying their live shows to adjust for Keelor's tinnitus and continuing to make music together.

The band celebrated its silver anniversary with a tour earlier this year. In Our Nature debuts on Tuesday.

Eminem's Rap God sparks outcry over homophobic slurs

at 4:24 am

CBC News Posted: Oct 23, 2013 12:45 PM ET Last Updated: Oct 23, 2013 12:45 PM ET

Veteran rapper Eminem has once again sparked controversy with his music, blasted by fellow artists and music critics for homophobic slurs in his new single, Rap God.

Delivered as Eminem's dark performance alter-ego Slim Shady, Rap God features violent, bravado lyrics that taunt his rivals in the aggressive style for which the Grammy Award-winning Detroit rapper is known.

At issue is his insulting use of the words "gay" and "f-ggot" throughout several sections of the track.

A host of music critics and media outlets praised the song (which emerged last week in advance of his upcoming album The Marshall Mathers LP 2), but many have also blasted the rapper for the language, which has been criticized as being homophobic.

'He's using the word f-ggot to degrade another man. As if the worst thing a man can be is gay. What type of message does that embed into the minds of young kids, both gay and straight?'- Hip hop singer Solomon

British singer and DJ Boy George and LGBT rights groups are among those who have criticized Eminem for this latest release, calling it a return to outdated views and past offensive music.

The chorus of criticism was joined most recently by rapper LastO and singer-songwriter Solomon, two of the openly gay hip hop recording artists featured in a month-long series on Eminem's satellite radio channel in 2008.

"When he invited me on his radio station a few years ago, I thought he put all of this aside," Solomon said in a statement.

"Granted, it's not directed towards the gay community, but subconsciously it is. He's using the word f-ggot to degrade another man. As if the worst thing a man can be is gay. What type of message does that embed into the minds of young kids, both gay and straight?"

The controversy over Rap God arrives after the rapper's repeated declarations that he has "nothing against gays" (including in a 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper in 2010) and his high-profile Grammy Awards performance alongside Elton John in 2001. Eminem has not commented publicly about the reaction to the song.

Acceptance of LGBT artists in the hip hop community has been an increasingly prominent issue over the past year, in part tied to rising hip hop singer Frank Ocean's 2012 revelation about falling in love with a man and exemplified in this summer's hit Macklemore and Ryan Lewis marriage-equality track Same Love.

"As irreverent and offensive as [Eminem's] brand is supposed to be ... he still knows his line," LastO said in a statement.

"It's ironic because I'm sure when he was coming of age, more black folks walked over him...than anyone gay ever did."

Battling Boy reinvents comic book superheroes for younger readers by Jonathan Ore Oct. 25, 2013 8:09 PM With his latest work, comic book veteran Paul Pope has created a template-smashing new kind of superhero: Battling Boy, a kid (admittedly the offspring of gods) who sets out to protect other kids. "The thing that's attractive about kids as characters is that, if anything, they represent potential," he tells CBC News. Jian
