Come at 9:00 $5.00 More about our artists: SEAMUS OGDEN // MATTHEW JARVIS WALL Seamus Ogden is a writer, primarily of poetry. His work elevates and bows to the mundane complexities of the everyday. He recently migrated one hour north to Toronto after completing a BA in Classics from the University of Guelph. He authors a blog, called Open History: Living with Current Events, a collection of rough essays and the odd topical poem. Check it out here: www.histoireouvert.tumblr.com The increasing prominence of computers and information networks in the structure of social relations has produced a transformative shift in the way in which individuals participate in the production of art and design. The cornerstones of classical aesthetics in art autonomy of form, singularity of vision, and totality of message become less relevant as artists turn towards the systemic as aesthetic. Matthew Jarvis Wall’s work constitutes an effort to both deploy and critically examine the mechanisms of digital production through the lens of anthropological analysis. http://matthewwall.tumblr.com/ BEN LADOUCEUR // COLIN FISHER Ben Ladouceur has published poems in magazines like The Malahat Review, Arc, Prism International, Echolocation, Dragnet, and The Puritan.
