Clive Holden is a Canadian multimedia artist and poet from Victoria, British Columbia, he is currently living in Toronto with his wife, Alissa York.
Holden's best-known and publicized project to date is the "film poem" series Trains of Winnipeg[1], a collection of 14 short films featuring Holden's poetry with musical accompaniment by Christine Fellows, John K. Samson, Jason Tait, Steve Bates and Emily Goodden. In it is included the haunting short, 18000 Dead In Gordon Head[2], in which Holden recalls the shooting of a young girl in Gordon Head, a suburb of Victoria. The 18,000 in the title refers to the average number of murders a television viewer has seen by the time they reach the age of sixteen years.
Currently he is working on his project Utopia Suite[3], launched at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam (2006)[4], investigating into 21st century views on utopianism in its broadest sense.
