Brian Joseph Davis is an artist and writer from Toronto. He was called
a "genius" by Alex Ross for turning the writings of philosopher Theodor
Adorno into a punk 7inch. Frieze Magazine also deemed the same project
"serious hilarity...joyous and thoughtful."
In 2005 Coach House Books published Portable Altamont, his first
collection of writings, which has garnered praise from Spin Magazine
for its "elegant, wise-ass rush of truth [and] hiding riotous social
commentary in slanderous jokes.” Davis is also a columnist for Eye
Weekly and recently wrote about the death of the cassette for the Utne
Reader.
His other projects have included Ten Banned Albums Burned Then Played (
music made out of charred vinyl), Voice Over ( a text composed from a
list of 5,000 film "taglines" which was then read by a professional
voiceover artist) and Yesterduh (recordings of people trying to
remember the words to Yesterday).
Terence Dick is a writer living in Toronto. His art criticism has
appeared in BorderCrossings, Canadian Art, Camera Austria, Fuse, Mix,
Parachute, C Magazine, Prefix Photo, and The Globe and Mail. He has
written catalogue and exhibition essays for Stan Douglas, Lee Goreas,
Peter McCallum, Matt Crookshank, Jennifer Murphy and Chris Rogers. He
is also the editor of the online art review Akimblog () and music
editor for Broken Pencil magazine. Terence has a Master’s Degree in
Philosophy and Cultural Studies from Trent University and worked for
eight years in education and public programs at The Power Plant
Contemporary Art Gallery. He has given lectures and conducted workshops
at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Music Gallery and Oakville Galleries.
