If you're looking for a… special way to say "I love you" [or possibly even "I'm trying my best to forget about you"], 640480's Video Valentines should do the trick. All homemade, all home-edited. Subjects range from an emotastic game of M.A.S.H. [you remember—"Mansion Apartment Shack House"] to a faux Paris Hilton sex tape to the Codex' favorite—a little nooky from Virginia Puff-Paint. Requires Quicktime.


Virginia will also be indecently exposing herself in Sinbad in the Rented World, an ongoing exhibition programme by Director Phillip Monk. The exhibit will attempt to present the social functionality of art while exploring the queer aesthetic and influence in Toronto. Sinbad will include works in various media by Joel Gibb, Andrew Harwood, Will Munro and Jeremy Laing, Ian Phillips, The Ensemble of Tops 'n' Bottoms, and Scott Treleaven.

The exhibition runs from February 11 - March 28, 2004. Come celebrate the opening of Sinbad in the Rented World at the AGYU, Wednesday, February 11 from 6 - 9pm. The AGYU is located at 4700 Keele Street, Toronto. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 am - 4 pm, Wednesday until 8pm, Sunday noon - 5pm. Admission is free.
