Manitoba's Centre for Art and Technology
The program features new work by Clifford Prince King, Jaewon Kim, Mikiki, Davina āDeeā Conner & Karin Hayes, Camila Arce, Jhoel Zempoalteca & La Jerry, and Camilo Acosta Huntertexas & Santiago Lemus.
The theme for MATR this year will be (de)PRESS(i)ON, and is a part of a year-long program celebrating and exploring VPās 40th anniversary, what we are referring to as our Mid-life Crisisā¢. The VP mid-life crisisā¢ series will feature programs from the six stages of a typical mid-life crisis: Denial, Passion; Replay, Depression, Withdrawal, and Acceptance.
For MATR, we are asking artists to āPress Onā with usā¦ to persist, continue and to advance technology-based art while delving into the past 4 decades of VP history.
During Meghana’s time in Winnipeg participating in the Scott Leroux residency, life was nothing but filled with chaotic adventures. As a first-time visitor to Winnipeg, the experiences she had were quite unique and proved to contribute to the works she was creating at Video Pool. From filming and exploring around downtown to spending late nights in the analog suite, every day was filled with special moments. Titled Garry St. this installation-based presentation will showcase multiple videos displayed through various screens such as projectors and CRTs of the different experimentation and filmmaking that was captured during the month-long residency.
