Manitoba's Centre for Art and Technology
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.
For this edition, we encourage artists to explore the temporal representation of landscapes through the potential of digital media. Temporal Landscapes highlights the tension between time’s transient nature and the digital medium’s capacity to manipulate and distort temporal perception.
The potential for something truly extraordinary is here.
Video Pool Media Arts Centre is pleased to announce our first Media Art + Technology Residency of 2025 (MATR25) in partnership with TakeHome BIPOC ArtHouse.
The Media Art and Technology Residency (MATR) is designed to be a site-specific exploration of VP’s Poolside Gallery and its environs, where artists will develop and install a new work that responds to and utilizes the gallery’s characteristics. MATR specifically supports experimental, independent technology-based works and we welcome submissions that respond to the annual theme.
Red Reminds Me… will feature newly commissioned videos by Gian Cruz (Philippines), Milko Delgado (Panama), Imani Harrington (USA), David Oscar Harvey (USA), Mariana Iacono and Juan De La Mar (Argentina/Colombia), Nixie (Belgium), Vasilios Papapitsios (USA).
