The Museum of Modern Art in New York has again turned its focus north of the border by hosting its second annual showcase of new Canadian cinema.
Laurence Kardish, senior curator of MoMA’s film and media department, made the selections for Canadian Front: New Films 2005.
“A certain wildness, not usually associated with Canada, is a feature of this year’s edition of new narrative works from up north. Behaviour is not circumspect but virtually out-of-control in fascinating ways,” Kardish said about his selections in a statement. “Performances are strong, bold and brave.”

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
