Here is a show I am in:

Since the the founding of The White House studio space late in 2008, a group of emerging Toronto artists have been producing works that inspire and ignite the uncanny in the familiar. Peripheral Redundance: The Other In The Everyday, as a curatorial experiment allowing these artists to present durational performances, happenings, videos, and installations in a free-flowing but structured environment; focused on the unexpected in the overlooked.

The show is open to Toronto and vicinity residents on September 26th, 2009 beginning at 12pm (noon) and ending at 11PM.
The event will unfold idiosyncratically in the course of these 11 hours: The first 7 hours will contain more durational and object based works, while the following 4 hours will present more action and body based works.

Here is another show I am in:

Dead Philosophers' Limbo is a twelve-hour dance to the life of ideas and the death of philosophers as told by the living philosopher Simon Critchley in his, The Book of Dead Philosophers. Each dancer's boombox emits passages from the book, broadcasting epitaphs as the score for the performers who literally and figuratively use dance to break into that space between life and death, between mind and body and between the here and the now. Find your place in this limbo as twenty-four dancers dance and nearly two hundred philosophers die. Witness the wonder and amazement as these bodies describe a philosophical dictum for the ages.
