Isolated Landscapes: Video by Prairie Women (1984-2009)
Exhibit catalogue for Video Pool Media Arts Centre’s 2017 exhibit Isolated Landscapes: Video by Prairie Women (1984-2009) curated by Kathy Rae Huffman.
Isolated Landscapes was a major exhibition of the history of video art by women who live and work in the central Canadian region or who were informed by years of residing in (or growing up in) the region. The nineteen works in the exhibition (by twenty-one artists) were produced between 1984 – 2009 and play a prominent role in the history of Winnipeg’s legendary Video Pool Media Arts Centre. The project represents pioneering, early video art production by women artists working in various genres and reveals their ability to utilize the available technology of the time in response to the region’s perceived isolation and starkness, reflected in geographical, cultural and personal landscapes.
With an essay by Kathy Rae Huffman, interview with The Ephemerals conducted by Jennifer Smith and information about each video and performance part of the exhibit.
