Routine Nihlism
“Nihilism is best left to the professionals.” -Iggy Pop
Celebrated Canadian media artist and writer, Gary Kibbins, will present and speak about a collection of his recent videos. Kibbins’ expansive and singular body of work is rooted in a play of language, nonsense forms, and absurdist humour. He teaches currently at Queen’s University, and until 2000 he taught at the California Institute of the Arts. A book of essays and scripts was published in 2005: Grammar & Not-Grammar: Selected Scripts and Essays by Gary Kibbins, ed. A. J. Paterson, YYZ Books, Toronto; 2005; 254 pp.
