CRIPTYCH
CRIPTYCH showcases a year of intensive project development from members of the DATA program, a collaboration between Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Video Pool Media Arts. This exhibition confronts outdated modes of therapy, unearths skeletons in the mental health care system, explores inner worlds of digitally-mediated self-examination and negotiates boundaries between vulnerable states of dependence, dis/ability and agency. The artists in CRIPTYCH take extraordinary lengths to share their experiences through these profoundly personal artworks.
Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration: 2020 recipient Chukwudubem Ukaigwe
Way back in March we announced Chukwudubem Ukaigwe as the 2020 recipient of the Scott Leroux Fund for Media Arts Exploration and that he would take over Poolside Gallery for the month of May. Covid-induced restrictions meant altering the plan and the residency will take place in November and into December with some amendments to the original public-presentation part of the program. As guidelines around public access are changing frequently, some of these may or may not be possible as we move along.
Mediations: Media Arts Residency 2018-19 exhibit
Throughout the past year, Karen Asher, Valérie Chartrand, Daniel Shane and Davis Plett have been both expanding on-going personal projects as well as creating new work while participating in Video Pool’s Media Arts Residency program. While approaching their work from disparate origins and aesthetics, these four fabulous artists have found common ground in using technology as a mediating factor in further exploring and understanding the environment and ecology, issues around the fabricated reality / dis-reality as seen through data and the body as centered between the dream world of memory and that of the document.
Ken Gregory – I Remember Falling
A Greek myth, a contemporary sound artist and a blacksmith walk into a bar. Driven by an ever deepening curiosity, artist and novice blacksmith Ken Gregory reaches into the past to explore the story of the birth of Hephaetus and how it relates to our contemporary society. Using blacksmithing traditions as a foundation for creating an immersive soundscape, Gregory examines how contemporary society has given short shrift to those whose bodies and/or minds don’t fit in to what is considered normal.
