1. My Kid Could Paint That: This documentary follows Marla Olmstead, a cheerful little girl from upstate New York whose paintings - reminiscent of Pollock or de Kooning - made her an international sensation when she was just four years old. But how authentic is her work?

2. Works on paper - watercolours, prints - by Harold Klunder, one of Canada’s best respected artists, are on view at Transit Gallery, Hamilton. Klunder is known for his cerebral portraits. These smaller pieces offer an alternative to Kluder’s large-scale, often heavy oil paintings.

The exhibition runs October 2 - 28, 2007.
