As an arts writer based in Edmonton, I’m delighted for the opportunity to write on daring and innovative interdisciplinary art for Edgy Women 2010 in Montréal.

So it’s with fondness that I’ve noticed this year’s Edgy Women press image along with last year’s poster image are both of edgy (and tall) women from Edmonton.

Last year it was a sweaty image of performer and playwright (and coincidentally enough, my neighbor) Kristine Nutting appearing to be wiping butter out of her ass,

while this year it’s of T.L. Cowan, spoken word artist sitting on the loo. The staged photo of tutu T.L. on the can was from her collaborative multidisc project, “The Twisted She Project”, which she developed and premiered in Edmonton before moving on to her post-doc in Calgary and tenure in Saskatoon.

Catch T.L. at Edgy Boum on March 20 and my forthcoming reviews and interviews, focused mostly on the second week of events.

Sincerely yours,

Amy Fung
