New & Upcoming:
June 6 – August 1, 2025
Working with video, textile, autofiction, and various installation processes, Sophie Seita’s and Naomi Woo’s exhibition pulls out and reroots the speculative potential of archives and queer history.
Playful and flirty, this genre-bending talk show installation features a cast of queer characters real and fictional, past and present, in a whirlwind jaunt through space and time.
It is our pleasure to announce Anthony Valade as the 2025 recipient of the Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration (SLFMAE). In memory of Scott Leroux and supported by the Leroux family, the SLFMAE is an annual, month-long residency focused on the research and exploration of a specific technology and related aesthetic approaches. This year the residency is focused on working with the Analogue Video system.
Mission Statement
Video Pool Media Arts Centre aims to inspire curiosity and creative expression through open exploration of technology in all media art forms, focusing on practices that are adventurous, independent, and explore niche approaches to art and technology. We strive to cultivate experimental artistic practices and accessibility to technology through presentation, production, distribution and education while also supporting the greater arts community through our programs, facilities and expertise.
VP houses the largest collection of prairie video art in Canada, presents work at the intersection of technology and art in our Poolside Gallery, and The Output, our A/V performance and rehearsal venue, provides new opportunities for performance-based work.
VP is Manitoba’s only artist-run centre dedicated to the exploration of technology-based art.
We are located on Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
