They Want My Bacon Slice By Slice

October 29th, Hosted by HPAC

"They want my bacon slice by slice" compiles the best videos collected throughout the year from submissions inspired by the writings of Edgar Allen Poe, Doris Lessing and Roald Dahl. Edgar Allen Poe, Doris Lessing and Roald Dahl followed their own paths, significantly influencing the genres they are noted for. Poe developed a theory of composition; theme or plot was subordinate to the construction of a single intense mood. Doris Lessing is known for both her radical writing on social issues and as a science fiction writer. Her novel The Golden Notebook is considered a feminist classic, but she would argue her most important work is Canopus in Argosa science fiction series. Roald Dahl is most known for his unsentimental and wickedly humorous children’s books, but he also wrote 60 adult short stories noted for their dark sense of humor and surprising endings.

Participating artists: Celeste Fichter, Mark Franz, Tony Gammidge, Ellen Lake, Rebekkah Palov, Malcolm Sutherland

LiveBox at upArt ! Gladstone Hotel Toronto

October 27 to October 30, 2011
Coincides with Toronto International Art Fair

LiveBox performance opening night!

For upArt, LiveBox will stage Sonic Tours by Ryann Dunn, co-created by Joseph Kramer, which was originally presented at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, IL, on 30 October 2010.  In this piece, a series of performers – “tour guide” and “accompanists” – lead gallery viewers through a “fake tour”, which is soundtracked, punctuated, and interrupted by the “accompanists”, performing improvised music/noise on instruments real and built. The piece combines the formal rigor of art criticism with an absurdity humor, and acts as a disruptive element to the traditional discussions and interactions that would typically take place at an art event.
