Fantastic! Thanks Dean, that's just übercool that we can see the exhibit via Youtube [for those of us that didn't make it to Victoria, BC.]. Although, not a substitute for actually being there.  :\

I found this video about the Anna Banana show.  There is a very rare appearance of Dame MailArta.  You better sit down.
