Will it Bow -Kerrigan & Gage Salnikowski

Will it Bow is presented by Cluster Festival and Video Pool Media Arts Centre.

May 27 – August 1, 2026

Step into the living room—part set, part signal—as Will It Bow? unfolds in an uncanny broadcast. Channelling 1990s children’s TV and scored with analog synths, everyday objects are bowed and transformed. Equal parts instructional and deconstructional, the installation invites visitors to sit, follow along, and experiment with the hidden acoustics of the familiar.

bingenTV is presented by Cluster Festival and Video Pool Media Arts Centre.

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.

‘drawing Room -Lawrence Bird MATR 2024

It is our pleasure to present new work by Lawrence Bird, part of the current Media Arts + Technology Residency OPENING FRI Mar 15, 2024.

‘drawing Room explores aspects of “Withdrawal”, the last stage of VP’s Mid-life Crisis™ to be explored this year. The project deploys an array of moving images, audio, screens and technological remnants to collapse the distance between architecture and media, imagining Poolside gallery as a ground zero for future growth – expanding outward into adjacent spaces in Artspace, the city, and the world.

Örjan Sandred and Max Sandred | Sonic Trails: Lockdown

“Sonic Trails : Lockdown” is a multimedia installation reflecting on a city in Covid-19 lockdown. Using algorithms for Artificial Intelligence, a visitor is transferred between concrete and abstract experiences in a 3-dimensional world created through projections on semi-transparent screens and a multi-channel loudspeaker system. The installation is created by Max and Örjan Sandred and is based on material recorded during the 2021 pandemic in Winnipeg.
