Artsy Fartsy

Since I can't work formally as an accountant until oh, next year... I have started curating at the Lens Factory, a photography gallery along West Queen West. It's my little outlet before I head back into finance, and for the time being, I am hosting shows, schmoozing and helping to build a bit of business.

Its nice. Free beer, and the poshness of it all. Oh look at me, all bohemian.

At the same time, I've just written the opening for January's show, Free Them of Choice. Its supposed to be about mass consumerism, but I've tweaked it. I'll post the link here when its out.

Here is my take on it.

The free market in chaos. Economic theory debunked. Self-regulation a myth.
What defines a generation is what it buys.
Ideas, religion, debt and fear are all products in this age of commodity and excess.

I might add, I am not entirely sure what that is supposed to mean, but anything concerning money is always relevant in my books.
