About this artwork
This is a grouping of 50 past cultural and political figures who are, for various reasons, more or less dead (with faces obscured by vibrant dots to protect identities ) and often paired with their ideological opposites printed on photo paper in 25 individual frames. They are Pot, Bush, Nietzsche, Hitler, Bonaparte, Pinochet, Mickey, Chiang, Oppenheimer, Arabel, Dracula, John Paul II, Johnny Rotten, Lenin, Wilde, Einstein, Rumsfeld, Lennon, Thatcher,…
Freud, Tex Murdock, Kissinger, Warhol, Sharon, Lawless, Arafat, Stalin, Adams, Truman, Bin Laden, Petrelis, Marx, Marcos, Mao, Nixon, Divine, Rockwell, Spears, Manson, Falwell, Reagan, Manson, Barbie, Picasso, Hirst, the Borg, Sitting Bull, Riel, and Carlos the Jackel all under the elusive subheading “can you spot those darned terrorists?” Given current rhetoric thrown around this older work has a certain prescience, no?

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
