Peggy Anne Berton is my new Canadian art hero (after I saw her feature length film, The Legend of Buck Kelly, on Monday night). More on this later (soon)...
TAAFI is a big art fair in Toronto that happens at the same time as the official art fair in Toronto. I don't like art fairs but TAAFI is different. Don't miss Lorna Mills', Living Will By Sandra Rechico By Lorna Mills, 2005, video installation (a Drake "Invitational").
"Based on a true story, this video is the second installment in the series Peace Time Activities that began with Mill's 2004 video LM vs. Leni R. In this new, mercifully short video, Mills continues to toy with recent conventions of reality television and directorial abuse."Also Andrew J. Paterson, just back from a big do in Calagary, is performing at the Gala at the Gladstone on Thursday and so are Tanya Mars and Miss Canadiana. Also there's a big contingent of groovy nature-kitsch-and-myth with Mary Anne Barkhouse, Fastwurms and Allyson Mitchell all showing in the same building.
Also Lise Brin is hosting another colouring night on Friday! (The last one brought out my dark side.)
And lots of other stuff too...
Canzine was very very fun. Grey Goo sold out, which was gratifying, and the Halloween 1/2 Accordion Dime-a-Death Puppet Performances (a shorter name is in the works) were a hit. We forgot to put this drawing in the zine!
How could we? Well because we had another even better one that we used instead. Thanks Rob.
NOTE: Jim Munroe was a real star on Sunday. No Media Kings was a hive of useful information. Jim ran a tight, packed schedule of panels and screenings. If all you did was sit in that one room all day, you would've had a great day.
