About this artwork
“Work # 358-2: It’s Alive!” (1998, revisited 2025) is a darky comedic take on being frightened out of one’s wits by one’s own body. The work presented here was made at the tail-end of two decades of witnessing mass death. It should not be viewed aesthetically but viewed through the lens of psychiatry. Making this work was, I think at the time, an attempt on my part to cope with the very real possibility of mental collapse. How is one to react when…
witnessing all of your friends and colleagues dropping like flies while acknowledging the fact that the powers that be simply don’t give a damn? It raises the question “what is the role of the artist in such an environment?”

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
