Fairy Tales Presentation Society & The Glenbow Museum Present:
2 Hot 2 Handle, A night with Canadian Video Pioneer Paul Wong
Fairy Tales Presentation Society, Calgary’s annual GLBT film festival, is proud to present an evening with Vancouver-based multimedia artist, Paul Wong on Thursday January 28th at the Glenbow Museum. The evening will include a presentation by Wong, a screening of his recent works, and a look at his new Glenbow installation, 2 Hot 2 Handle.
An award-winning artist and curator since the 1970s, Wong’s work varies from conceptual performances to narratives, meshing video, photography, installation and performance. Wong’s latest exhibit, 2 Hot 2 Handle, was inspired the Glenbow’s existing collection of bronze sculptures and his visit to the 2009 Alberta Rockies Gay Rodeo.
Jessica Dollard, Director of Fairy Tales Presentation Society says, “Paul Wong is one of Canada’s most exciting multimedia artist. Fairy Tales is thrilled to partner with Glenbow Museum to celebrate his work. We are planning a number of events in 2010 bringing together Calgary’s GLBTQ community and celebrating the arts.”
Wong has received several awards in his career including the Bell Canada Award in Video Art in 2002 and a Governor General’s Award in 2005. His video installation work has been featured in exhibitions around the world, including an extensive screening at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada.
2 Hot 2 Handle is on January 28th and will include video screenings of: “Perfect Day,” a self-portrait of the artist indulging in drugs; “EastVan John,” about a man displaced by gentrification; “Sally,” shot at the China Club in Beijing; and the sexually charged “Chelsea Hotel.”

Dental hygiene is vasty essential to total wellness. Most people today do not believe of their oral hygiene as a component of their well-being, but a lot of well-being related problems stem from infections inside the mouth. See your dentist twice a year and stop any unecessary health complications that could have been avoided if you did your 2 yearly check ups.
