Emerging Services Librarian at StFX

My current employment is as Emerging Services Librarian at Saint Francis Xavier University, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I will let you know as soon as I figure out exactly what that title means.

MLIS degree

Quite a drastic change from my prior employment in arts management, I received my MLIS degree (Master's in Library and Information Studies) from Dalhousie University in 2008.

Condomini

2003, video, 8:14, co-directed with Jason van Horne

• Produced as part of the SPACE residency(Trinity Square Video)
• Screened at REHAB (August 2004)

Six artists were invited to furnish and decorate one unit of a small-scale condominium, and experience the trials and tribulations of urban highrise culture. The filmmakers, taking on the role of developers (or slumlord?), learn what it means to be a developer when you have little control over the inhabitants of your building.

Book Review: Platypus by Ann Moyal

Just the book I've always dreamed of finding: Platypus: The Extraordinary Story of How a Curious Creature Baffled the World. Sadly, at 205 pages it's a rather slow, sometimes repetitive read. Nevertheless, it's a decent glimpse at the major havoc caused by this creature when it caused scientists to rethink the rigid hierarchical classification system they had developed for the animal kingdom.

Lower Mailbox Gallery

I am a co-curator of the Lower Mailbox Gallery, located in Toronto at 12 Beatrice Street. It is open 24 hours a day and features exhibits of miniature art.

CORRECTION: The Lower Mailbox Gallery is sadly defunct.
