I am guest-curating this fun show for digifest and Harbourfont. Come to the opening, and you can also catch the Performance Lectures that same night!
Mods & Rockers
May 12 to July 9, 2006
Opens Friday May 12, 7-9pm
York Quay Centre
235 Queens Quay West
In Britain in the 1960s, mods and rockers frequently clashed in bloody battles. For this exhibition, however, we ask them to merge in the name of art. Four pairs of artists, one Mod and one Rocker per team, will collaborate on art, video and sound works that illuminate the polarities of the partnership. The artist teams are
Myfanwy Ashmore & Lorna Mills, Chandra Bulucon & Andrew J. Paterson, Rob Cruickshank & Veronica Verkley, Tom Moody & John Parker.

Much of his work is associated with InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre in Toronto, where he has developed a number of hands-on workshops for artists using electronics., and is currently a member of the Board of Directors. His work combines a knowlege of physical computing with an ongoing fascination with sound, light, and motion. It is as much informed by the kinetic art of the early 20th century as it is by contemporary new media art. Works such as Spiral Incriber (2005) combine microcontrollers with intricate electromechanical systems, reminiscent of early clockwork and mechanical devices, and reflect his interest in obsolete technologies. Many of these works are collaborative in nature, and he has been part of several long-term collaborative projects at Interaccess, such as Space Probe (1998), SenseBus (1999), Art Interface Device (2001-present), as well as being a member of I/O media, a collective of sound and video artists exploring real-time improvised performance.

His next solo show will be in May 2006 at artMoving Projects, Brooklyn, NY.
John Parker explores the extreme sonic possibilities afforded by contemporary means of sound production, fusing the controlled and the random into a volatile, ever-twisting whole. He has exhibited alongside the likes of DJ Spooky and Christian Marclay at galleries such as Andrew Kreps, Caren Golden, and vertexList and performed alongside Cave Precise, Denim Venom, and Society Cleaners at venues like CBGB’s and The Kitchen in New York City.
