LATVIAN HOUSE; Lisa Kennedy, Kevin Murray and Tara Schorr (curators), Pleasure Dome’s New Toronto Works; March 15, 2008

The first half ended with recent York University graduate David Frankovich’s “Exquisite Corpse.” It is slick and high-gloss, and churns through various B-movie tropes at a breakneck 17 minutes, finding time to interject some self-deconstructing musical numbers, at a 120 sly-wink-per-minute irony rate. It is much more winning than we’re letting on, but nevertheless, it is a project so clever, only a film student could have thought it up.
