The weirdness of "Old Weird" goes on and on, from Greta Pratt's portraits of Lincoln impersonators, to Dario Robleto's fabricated album covers for Godspell and the like, to David Rathman's Western outtake drawings. Kamps has curated a fascinating exhibition that mines a rich and provocative vein of influence in contemporary American art — and culture. Leaving the CAMH, you look with fresh eyes at the weirdness all around you.
