Curatorial Incubator v.7:
FRAK FACEBOOK: celebrating the anti-social

This year, The Curatorial Incubator, v7 – FRAK FACEBOOK: celebrating
the antisocial called for proposals to participate in this research and presentation
project that aims to uncover works that buck the current trend of "social
networking" and "living in public" that is so prevalent today. FRAK FACEBOOK:
celebrating the anti-social explores the urge to burrow under the covers, to hide in
the basement -in short, the drive to NOT connect, to NOT be nice. Our 3 emerging
curators have answered the call with gritty aplomb. With her programme, Mireille
Bourgeois posits stupidity as “an act so powerful that it can interrupt the very
foundation of thought.” The gross and the abject figure prominently in Jennifer Chan’s
selection. And Ted Kerr asks if the internet has changed gay cruising.
After the VIDI THIS! VIDI THAT! marathon screening, all 3 programmes
will be available on request at Vtape in the Video Gallery, February 2-20, 2010.
