Reviews

Untitled: Contemporary art in Toronto and beyond - The Star, Murray Whyte, March 30, 2009

"K. Nicol's A Room Full of Stuff I Made (and collected) is exactly the kind of show that gets my motor running. Quizzically playful, mildly obsessive all while gleefully skewering artistic pretension, Nicol presents us with a tidy grid of dead mosquitos, among other stuff, all of it presented specimen-like -- sort of ordering the detritus, to get a better handle on it..." Murray Whyte (Toronto Star). For the full article click here
