About this artwork
People Seem to Consider . . .” is a work in which the right side is a timed transcript from the 02:53 minute Canada Council commissioned video portrait of me directed by filmmaker and CBC producer Saman Malik. The left side is an altered candid photograph of the artist shot in the late 1980s in Lower Manhattan; my hands are thrust into my pants pockets and above the buttoned up denim jacket my head is wrapped in a keffiyeh. The alterations to the…
photograph consisted simply taking some of the timestamps from the transcript and placing them over various parts of my body allowing for political readings of certain gestures coupled with the pre-modern understanding of the function of certain vital organs. For example: 00:59 (the work I’m doing now really is an intersection between masculinity) is over my testicles; 01:48 (I think it is in the artist’s interest to stick their neck out) is over my spleen, etc.

Bruce Eves was the recipient of the Governor-General’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Visual and Media Arts in 2018 and was the subject of Peter Dudar’s feature-length documentary “Bruce Eves in Polari” that premiered at The Power Plant. Eves was ranked 26th on the Alt-Power100 list compiled by ArtLyst (UK). In the past he was assistant-programming director at the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC) in the late 1970s; and throughout the 1980s was the co-founder and chief archivist of the International Gay History Archive (now housed in the Rare Book and Manuscript division of the New York Public Library). Eves continues an active practice of exhibiting and curating on the cutting-edge, and in recent years has pushed the envelope further by expanding his work to include spoken-word projects performed monthly at the Black Eagle bar’s Dirty Queer Poetry Nights. Eves lives and works in Toronto and seeks representation. His CV can be viewed at www.bruceeves.net
