Inside The Pixels / Outside The Frame
The Indigenous Media Arts Initiative is a youth mentorship program run by Video Pool Media Arts Centre, in partnership with CEDA/Pathways, that provides focused artistic development opportunities to four Indigenous youth, providing mentorship and learning opportunities in various forms of media arts creation and production. Mentees are paired with established artists from the Indigenous community and provided with 6 months of mentorship and training at Video Pool Media Arts Centre, including one year of free access to our equipment and facilities. The results of their mentorship will be on display at our Poolside Gallery on the 2nd floor of Artspace, and will be distributed internationally through our Video Distribution department.

Jackie Huskisson / Artist in Residence / Scott Leroux Fund
Calgary multi-disciplinary artist Jackie Huskisson, recipient of the inaugural Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration is the artist-in-residence for the month of March 2018. Jackie is occupying Poolside Gallery and developing sculptural forms which she is animating via projection-mapping. Her work delves into the psyche through the development of at-times surrealist characters isolated in space. As part of the Fund, we will be holding open houses each Friday throughout March, 1-5 pm in Poolside.
No Man’s Land – Louis Couturier & Jacky Georges Lafargue
No Man’s Land started with a residency supported by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec in Manitoba (2016). The purpose of this residency was to follow the Manitoba-United States boundary strip, which is 6 meters wide by 444 kilometers long. This line, neither American nor Canadian, is a true no man’s land separating Manitoba from the states of North Dakota and Minnesota. We explored, traveled, photographed and filmed it. Our main action was to take samples (soil squares and soil prints). Ten samples were taken. The video set of landscape and interventions of real samplings carried out constitutes a artialisation: that is to say an artistic transformation of the boundary landscape. This artialisation is applied at Poolside Gallery in the form of an installation called No Man’s Land.
