Pieces of the Archive
Free Online Video Screening Program
Video Pool Media Arts Centre is excited to present the program Pieces of the Archive. Pieces of the Archive shows a small cross section of work from the Video Pool Media Arts Centre’s collection. Looking back at the collection that spans almost forty years of collecting it is hard to tell the story of the history of video art in Manitoba. The five works in this program do not even attempt to do that, however they explore ideas of, experimental practice, performance, social discourse, identity, culture, and gender. These are recurring themes in the majority of work in the collection. If you enjoy any of these five videos, you will find so much more in our collection that will interest you.
Featuring work by Chantel Mierau, Ryan Takatsu, Kristin Flattery, James Dixon and Sahar Abarasteh.
