IWant2BeOnTV is a video project started in 2021 based on recreating public access television with Alex Apostolidis’s broader arts community. In 2023/2024, Alex Apostolidis and Ben RJ Goss produced “HOME TV I”, a video series about queering television that reimagines pre-streaming era television made with a DIY focus. “HOME TV I” explores different television tropes, challenging the way media representation influences and maintains cultural hegemony. Building on Apostolidis’s previous works, “HOME TV I” creates an earnest yet playful portrayal of queer lifestyles and aesthetics and while toying with the performative nature of gender and sexuality, production and labour, identity politics and comedy as a coping mechanism. The videos in the series include “The News”(2024), “Kid’s Show”(2024), “Music TV”(2024), “Hot-Dog Eating Competition”(2023) and “Episode 1: The Future of Television”(2021) as well as video interludes of previous works “RGB Studies” (2023) and “My 20th Birthday Still Not Happy, but Not Sad” (2019)
Alex Apostolidis will be on tour with Charvel Rappos throughout Atlantic Canada showing these video works from May 27th, 2025 until June 12th, 2025. During this tour, Apostolidis and Rappos will be screening these works at five locations which will then be followed-up with artist talks and Q&A sessions. In addition, the two artists will be collaborating on a live performance, “Food Fight” for the Lawnya Vawnya Music Festival, which will be additionally live streamed online and at multiple locations across Canada.”
