I've rarely posted to this group but do enjoy reading and being informed by
your posts. If some of you are in the Toronto area of Canada please come to
a program of Art Jones' video works that I have curated on July 24th. Kindly
forward this to your colleagues in Toronto as well. Thank you in advance.

NURTURE
The Media Manipulations of Art Jones (In Person from NYC)
Saturday, July 24, 8 pm @ Latvian House, 491 College St. Toronto ONTARIO
Guest curated by Maļa Cybelle Carpenter (In Person from the San Francisco
Cinematheque)
http://www.pdome.org/july24_04.html
Art Jones provocative music videos, documentaries on hip hop history, and
vj collaborations with Soundlab, DJ Spooky, and Anti-Pop Consortium, all
question the powers and politics invested in pop culture. From his work as a
member of Not Channel Zero in the early 90s to digital cross-pollinations
with the new media collective ITEL, Art Jones challenges stale academic
critiques of American commodity culture. Screening tonight are two of his
music video trilogies: Love Song #1 (2001) with music from the Delfonics,
Cibbo Matto and OlDirty Bastard and Love Song #2 (War Songs) (2004)
featuring the sounds of Radiohead and Earth, Wind & Fire. Completing the
evening Art Jones will perform a live audio accompaniment to his most recent
work 7/11, a documentary essay made during a trip to Hong Kong for a media
conference where Jones was trying to be a good tourist in a moment of
perpetual doubt. Its the romance of the East, loving and hating your
country, and finding your inner American at the convenience store. (Maļa
