Irene Bindi on SADZEĆ; TIME
Such limited paths of engagement seem the antipode of SADZEĆ ; TIME, where the workās behaviours rely on our nuanced presence, and within the subtleties of our attention we discover its expanse. Through a bit of knowledge of our own bodily work in relation to its surroundings, through attention to movement in ongoing relationship with resultant sensory changes, Casey Koyczanās work feeds back to us, and we become aware of a delicate relationship. Focusing more intently on these movements and sensorial changes, we individually recede.

Unfortunately, It Was Paradise
The current era of imposed isolation has ushered in a seismic disruption to the communal structures of daily life. Freedoms of movement and communal living have been fundamentally redefined in the wake of uncertain futures. New relational topographies of immobility and social distance are now shared globally. To live within the present day requires a conscious consideration of place as co-created with and between others.
Temporal Contours v09: The Latent Body
Originally planned as an in-person concert for pre-COVID Winnipeg, v09 of Temporal Contours took a number of twists and turns on the road to its realization, some related to the on-going negotiation of pandemic measures and others out of the desire from both the artists here as well as Video Pool as an organization not to take away space or distract from the greater causes at hand. In place of the live event we present to you four intimate, studio / apartment based recordings for your listening and viewing pleasure.
