“The Innocuous Charitable Benevolent Brotherhood” exhibited at the Gordon Snelgrove Gallery. An investigation of conspiracy and paranoia from the mind of a mad folk artist.

From the exhibition:

"The gods give us paranoia so that we may occasionally glimpse the truth." -Socrates

In the days of ice people fought for food as well as people fought for life. Out of this war-lorded era in Saskatchewan's history, an elite arose. These warriors, scientists and politicians formed a neccesary group or unit. This unit fought to protect their lay followers from other warlords' packs. This elite unit has evolved and changed in order to blend with today's societal boundaries and their influence has been forced to use subtle and subconscious
means to control all aspects of Saskatchewan life in order to protect their lay followers and promote their own selfish goals. This secret society will no longer be secret, for the first time the innocuous Charitable Benevolent Brotherhood's secrets will be shared.

IF YOU BELIEVE FREE WILL IS MORE THAN A NAIVE CLICHE, WALK AWAY!!
As for the rest of you, follow me down the rabbit hole!

In my city there is a magazine that sells real estate called “Realtor Showcase” I think it’s rad that it’s not called “Real Estate Showcase” cause these dudes know it’s all about the face. I guess the show is about the irony and pathos involved with these slick old cats preening for the camera. La Scala Gallery.

This show was cleverly entitled “Spanish Influenza” at the Royal Red Gallery. “Todd pr4esents a selection of his silkscreen prints based on sketches of catholic iconography made on a trip to Spain...”

Side Note: when I was 19 I caught the Influenza otherwise known as the “Swine Flu” which is a real illness which sucks alot although my brother says it doesn’t exist and I’m foolish for saying it does (but it does).
