BUDDIES IN BAD TIMES THEATRE

BUDDIES IN BAD TIMES THEATRE Located in the heart of Toronto’s gay village, Buddies is the largest and longest running queer theatre company in the world. Every year, tens of thousands of people come through our doors to see a play, attend a community event, or have fun with their friends on a Saturday night. Our youth programs provide a safe and empowering space for queer youth to express themselves and discover their community. On our stage, the voices of the marginalized are raised to a level on par with the best in the world. For all these reasons and more, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is an indispensible part of our community. For 34 years, Buddies has challenged and inspired audiences with innovative, cutting edge, and award-winning queer artistic programming. With the support of our community – people like you – we have made an unparalleled contribution to the acceptance and celebration of queer lives in Canada. As we move forward together, we will continue to deliver vital community-building programming and services, to provide a home for queer expression and queer youth, and to stand tall so all of our voices are heard. It is thanks to you that this work is possible. ARTATTACK! is a vital source of funding for our artistic programs, which increasingly rely on donor support. So please, bid high and bid often!

MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Welcome to ARTATTACK! This is an important night for us – thank you all for being here. ARTATTACK! is not just our main fundraiser: it is also our chance to introduce you to some exceptional artists and showcase the amazing talent that our community has to offer. Each year, I am overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of our community, and by how willing people are to give their time and energy to ensure this night is a success. This event would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of so many people. I want to thank all the artists, curators, local businesses, and individuals who donated to tonight’s silent and live auction, and to our first-ever Rock Hudson Memorial Tuck Shop. I want to acknowledge the Buddies staff, board, volunteers, and the auction steering committee that have devoted countless hours to this event. It takes a lot of work to put ARTATTACK! on and these are the people who made tonight happen. You have my ongoing gratitude for your time, passion, and imagination. I also want to express thanks to all our sponsors, and especially our Presenting Sponsor, BMO Financial Group, whose support and commitment to ARTATTACK! has been a crucial part of our success. And thank YOU for continuing to support Buddies. When I say we really couldn’t do it without you, I mean it wholeheartedly. Enjoy the evening!

MESSAGE FROM THE CURATORS CHRIS IRONSIDE Sixteen years ago this month, I first walked through the doors of Buddies In Bad Times Theatre – it was love at first sight. Two months later I moved to Toronto, spending my Friday and Saturday nights ordering vodka and gingers from Patricia and confessing on Tallulah’s dance floor. All of these years later, my love affair remains. I return time and time again to Buddies to enjoy the fantastic theatre productions and festivals, performance pieces, literary events, and Pride Cabarets – all of which helped to form my earliest experiences with queer art culture in Toronto and continues to do so. For these reasons, I am excited to serve as the Curatorial Advisor for ARTATTACK! I am grateful for and indebted to the wonderful curators I have had the pleasure to work with – each of whom are shaping Toronto’s cultural landscape in exciting and diverse ways. The collection they have curated reflects that excitement and can be seen in the work of the emerging, mid-career, and established artists presented here. Enjoy! Chris Ironside is a Toronto-based artist who grew up dreaming of acting on such daytime television classics as All My Children and One Life To Live, becoming a celebrity and winning an Emmy. He became an artist instead. Working in photography and drawing, Chris is interested in representations of masculine ideals and identity through performance, documentation and the staged image. Recently, his work has appeared in several publications, including a set of commissioned drawings for Headmaster Magazine and a featured article on his photographic series, Mr. Long Weekend, in Issue 114 of C Magazine. He currently teaches photography in the School of Fine Art and Music (SOFAM) at the University of Guelph.

BILL CLARKE UP AND COMERS. How could I say ‘no’ when presented with an opportunity to support Buddies in Bad Times? When I was in my late-20s and early-30s, Buddies – the theatre (especially The Rhubarb Festival) and the dance club – was integral to my coming out and engaging with the city’s queer community. Some of my most enduring friendships were established during those years. This opportunity to re-engage with an institution that meant so much to me is very welcome. There is no overriding theme that links the artists I’ve chosen for the auction other than they are all talented up-and-coming artists whose diverse practices are showing extraordinary promise and are being recognized by Toronto’s art press, collectors, curators, and institutions. I would be happy to have any of these artists on my own walls – some of them I already do – and I hope that you, as an ARTATTACK! attendee, will feel the same way. Bill Clarke is a Toronto-based art writer, collector, volunteer and editor. His art writing has been published frequently in ARTnews, Canadian Art, Modern Painters, Border Crossings and other magazines. As a collector, he has been invited to speak about starting an art collection on panels at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art and the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition. Earlier this year, Bill was included on Modern Painters magazine’s annual list of the “Top 50 Most Interesting Collectors Under 50 Worldwide”, and his collection was featured in an article about living with contemporary art in the September 2012 issue of Report on Business magazine. He is currently the editor of Magenta Magazine, an online visual arts journal, which is entering its fourth year of publication.

CECILIA BERKOVIC I was pleased to have been asked to participate in this year’s ARTATTACK!. I feel privileged to live in a city that creates and disseminates so much queer culture. Thanks to Buddies for their decades of innovative programming, the community who comes out and supports it, and especially to the artists who have generously donated their work this evening. The pieces I included are silk-screened, letterpressed, and photo-based. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Cecilia Berkovic is an artist and designer based in Toronto. She received her MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College in 2012. She sits on the advisory programming committee at Gallery TPW and is currently teaching at Ryerson’s School of Image Arts.

ELISE VICTORIA LOUISE WINDSOR This exciting collection of work is a survey of Toronto’s art community, from emerging to mid-career artists. Varying in subject matter and medium, these works are connected by minimalism, simplicity of form, and are accessible to any collector. Elise Victoria Louise Windsor is a visual artist, and first-time curator, working and living in Toronto, Ontario. She graduated from OCAD University’s BFA program, focusing in photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Layering photography with sculpture, she creates analogue-based photographic illusions addressing the phantasmagoric qualities specific to the medium of photography. Elise recently participated in an XPACE/SPARK Contemporary Art Space Residency in Syracuse, New York and The State Hermitage Museum Foundation of Canada Young Artist Program, in St. Petersburg, Russia. She has been the recipient of various awards and participated in art exhibitions across Canada, the U.S. and Russia.

JOHNSON NGO Rethinking the traditional forms of representation of the body, the five selected artists illustrate the body as peculiar. Shot in fictive domesticity, Lady 8 (2008) by Cumming emphasizes the emotive dimension of body language by replacing the portrait with a bouquet of pink roses. In abstract works such as Pien’s A Psychedelic Forest (2012), bodily forms are obscured by shade and colour; the figure is entangled within the entire composition. In the work of Dobkin and Team Macho, the bodies stand out from the crowd through direct contrast in colour palette. The Dullest Boy Ever by Team Macho (2010) depicts a boy who is neglected of colouring and attention from his mother due to the presence of a new sibling. While Dobkin’s Bleeding at the Ball (2011) places the viewer within this performance at the Ball, participating in this awkward social situation. Invoking an erotic uncanny, the work by Logue queers the figural in a vivid and grotesque manner. Velvet Crease (2012) is a still image from a three-channel video installation, where the artist’s genitalia is highlighted by the natural light of day. Within these works, the uncanny figures as an effect that is simultaneously alienating and intriguing. Johnson Ngo is a Toronto-based artist-curator who examines Asian identity and Western queer culture. Ngo has performed in Canada (Rhubarb Festival, Nuit Blanche, 7a*11d) and America. Ngo received the 2011 Bernie Lightbox Billboard commission from the Blackwood Gallery at the University of Toronto Mississauga. He is currently the Curator-in-Residence at the Blackwood Gallery, where he continues his research in both race and gender in relation to identity politics. He is the guardian at the Feminist Art Gallery (FAG).

BUDDIES IN BAD TIMES THEATRE

KEITH COLE “The Rock Hudson Memorial Tuck Shop” was created out of necessity. For many years I have attended charity auctions but could never fully participate in the live auction process because I could never afford the high price of the artworks. I enjoyed the spectacular bidding wars, the art on the auction block and the theatricality of it all but in the end…. my bank account won out and I went home empty handed. I also love Rock Hudson and probably always will. He was a perfect man. He was a flawed man. He is my hero. I think about Rock Hudson a lot. He was judged harshly at the end of his life. Please stop judging. Not everyone is perfect. “The Rock Hudson Memorial Tuck Shop” is an excellent place to admit to your own flaws, purchase some unique and extraordinary works that can only be found at Buddies and ARTATTACK! You will be helping a remarkable theatre company achieve more, plus you will be part of art history just like many of the works available to you this evening. I cannot thank the artists enough for their generosity, sense of humour, understanding, patience, and creativity. Every artist I approached requesting a donation to “The Rock Hudson Memorial Tuck Shop” said “YES” without judgment. Rock Hudson wasn’t perfect. Neither are we. Enjoy the evening. Keith Cole was born in a van. He has many achievements and has made many mistakes. He is the principle member of “The Department of Loyalty” which allows him to fully realize his dreamy ways of creating and making it all reach just a little bit further. He is represented by HOT SHOT TALENT MANAGEMENT and his gallery dealer is the ubiquitous Jacqueline Appleseed Bustamante at Carrie Bradshaw Contemporary Fine Arts. For further biographical information about Keith Cole, just ask around.
