We are pleased to welcome Daniel Cockburn back to Toronto where he will be performing his most recent anti-artist talk All The Mistakes I’ve Made.

After over nearly a decade of making videos, Daniel Cockburn has made some mistakes. Aesthetic ones, technical ones, ideological ones. If you have seen his acclaimed work then you may have noticed some of them. If you haven’t, All The Mistakes I’ve Made is your opportunity to be personally guided through Cockburn’s missteps by the artist himself. In his disarmingly sincere and precise manner, Cockburn’s artist talk-cum-methodological manifesto explores his own errors of judgment and how they are perhaps emblematic of larger negative trends in contemporary art and cinema-making. Illustrated with excerpts from his personal œuvre of artistic regret, this lecture-style performance is both playful and profound, personal and wide-reaching in its meditation on creative misguidance. But of course, it could very well be a bad idea itself.

A co-presentation with Pleasure Dome, Videofag & the University of Toronto’s Visual Studies Program at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design.
