The Map of All Possible Paths
Marissé Aguilar - Chris McCarroll - Momoko Usami
Opening Reception Friday August 17th from 7 pm.
Through photography, video, and sculptural forms, the artists in The
Map of All Possible Paths consider the interstice between empirical
and imaginative navigation, and investigate the impact of contemporary
culture on mimetic experience.
Marissé Aguilar's photographs: November 06,01, and November 06.02
(2007), are part of a series of nocturnal landscapes with starry
skies. The movements of the stars have been studied and recorded for
eons. They are used at times to direct both ships, and individuals'
lives. Aguilar's photographs record her own movements through the
image's frame as she directs a flashing light at the camera, creating
traces of an absent past.
Chris McCarroll's video work We Are Not Home Free, (2007) is a looping
video projection comprised of excerpted footage from Carl Sagan and
Anne Druyan's classic PBS miniseries Cosmos: A Personal Voyage.
Through the resurrected (and reinstated) figure of Sagan, the piece
seeks to reconstitute past images of historical-materialist reverie as
objects for contemporary awe.
Momoko Usami's ceramic and textile based works often tell stories
inspired by the everyday. In her work the complexities of life unfold
in beautifully rendered details. Her recent mixed media sculpture View
(2007), depicts the gulf between the pre-linguistic imaginings of a
child and the domestic conflicts that surround it.
The exhibition runs until September 1st.

DEEP LEZ FILM CRAFT: THE STUFFED & STICKY FILMS OF FREESHOW SEYMOUR
FRI | AUGUST 17 | 7:00 pm | Cinematheque
Directors in attendance
Programmed by Amy Lynn Kazymerchyk, Christina Zeidler and Allyson Mitchell
Freeshow Seymour is the tag-team alias for the collaborative works of Toronto
filmmakers Christina Zeidler and Allyson Mitchell, who have been sharing their
love for film craft, thrift shopping, and maximalist approach to art making
since 1994. Their collaboration is grounded in "Deep Lez", a posi-core practice
of reclaiming diss'ed and discarded feminist root values in performance,
writing, organizing, teaching, music, film, sculpture, and installation.
This retrospective resembles your childhood dress-up box and teenage hope chest.
Childhood trauma, puberty, fatphobia, queer fantasies, homophobia, feminist
epiphanies, misogyny, breakups and breakdowns, ballerina dreams, and ghost pets
are the tattered rags that Freeshow Seymour lovingly transform into dazzling
celluloid quilts. Wrap yourself in the Deep Lez Love.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Glenn Ligon: Some Changes
until Sunday August 19, 2007
Glenn Ligon: Some Changes surveys the breadth of the New York based
artists' oeuvre over the last seventeen years. Ligon is at the
forefront of a generation of artists who came to prominence in the
late 1980s on the strength of conceptually based paintings and
photo-text work that investigates the social, linguistic and political
construction of race, gender and sexuality. Incorporating sources as
diverse as James Baldwin's texts, photographic scrapbooks, and Richard
Pryor's stand-up comic routines, Ligon's art is a sustained meditation
on issues of quotation, the presence of the past in the present, and
the representation of the self in relationship to culture and history.
Over the past two decades Ligon's practice has incorporated painting,
installation, printmaking, sculpture, video, and recently, web-based
projects. His work appeared in Documenta XI, Kassel (2002), the XXIV
Bienal de Sao Paulo (1998) and the Venice Biennale (1997). His
extensive exhibition history also includes solo shows at the
Kunstverein Munich (2001), the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2000),
and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (1996).
Glenn Ligon: Some Changes is organized and circulated by The Power
Plant Contemporary Art Gallery at Harbourfront Centre, Toronto, and
co-curated by Wayne Baerwaldt and Thelma Golden. The exhibition,
which has toured to galleries around the U.S.A., has been met with
critical success and Ligon's 2005 work Warm Broad Glow, was featured
on the cover of Artforum's May 2006 issue.
With the generous support of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual
Arts, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, Peter Norton Family
Foundation, Albert & Temmy Latner Foundation and Toby Devan Lewis.
Additional support is provided by Hal Jackman Foundation, Judy
Schulich, The Broad Art Foundation, Gregory R. Miller, The Drake

Become a member at Balcone's first AGM and afterparty!
Monday August 20, 2007 at 7pm sharp
Memelab at #202 - 1814 Pandora Street
(northeast of Commercial & Hastings)
Balcone is one of Canada's newest contemporary art organizations. Our
mission is to support and promote emerging Canadian artists by
focusing on curation, exhibition, research, criticism, and the
development of a professional practice.
One year ago, Balcone was incorporated by five emerging
artists/curators/historians in Vancouver. They are its founding
members. But in order for our society to grow, we would like to expand
our membership to others who share our passion for the arts. We would
like to invite local contemporary art supporters to become a member of
Balcone by attending its first annual general meeting (AGM).
At each AGM, the members of Balcone will elect amongst themselves the
board of directors for each year, the constitution and bylaws that the
board must follow in order to direct the society's activities, the
approval of financial statements, and how much annual membership fees
will cost (this year will be free). Thus members of our society are
essentially shareholders through general meeting.
After this short meeting, we will be having a small party with some
music, dancing, food, and drinks. Anyone is welcome to attend. For
more information about us, please visit www.balcone.org.
If you use Facebook, please join our group by conducting a search in
Facebook for Balcone. This is a great way to keep updated about our
upcoming programs.

14. Antimatter Underground Film Festival | SEPT 21 to 29, Victoria
----------------------------------------------------------------
Antimatter turns 10 this year, and you're invited to the party!
Antimatter Underground Film Festival
September 21 to 29, 2007 | Victoria, BC, Canada | http://www.antimatter.ws
Dedicated to the exhibition and nurturing of film and video as art,
Antimatter has grown into the premier showcase of experimental cinema
in the west. Encompassing screenings, installations, performances and
media hybrids, Antimatter provides a noncompetitive festival setting
in Victoria, British Columbia, free from commercial and industry
agendas.
The highest standards of curatorial practice are employed to build
thematic programs of innovative film and video selected from
international submissions. In addition, our annual Foreign Matter
series has become the incubator for hundreds of short films, all new
to North American audiences, compiled and contextualized by
international curators. Reciprocally, Antimatter delivers curated
programs of new Canadian work to international audiences through our
Foreign Matter tours.
Since 1998, the quality and creativity of its programming, commitment
to audience development, and respect for filmmakers and their work
have made Antimatter one of the most important media arts events in
Canada.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Antimatter Festival, to
be held from September 21 to 29. Over 250 films -- the largest line-up
to date -- which will be screened at venues Deluge Contemporary Art,
Open Space Arts Centre, Cinecenta and The Fifty-Fifty. Special Foreign
Matter programs will focus on work from Sweden, Brazil and Finland.
Deluge Contemporary Art will present the world premiere of You Are
Being Remembered, an exhibition of the new suite of films and words by
Victoria native and internationally acclaimed filmmaker/writer Clive
Holden. Concurrently, The Fifty/Fifty will host Aqui No Pasa Nada, a
special multi-media exhibition emanating from the battleground of
Oaxaca, Mexico, including the video compilation Resistencia Visual,
featuring work by Mal de Ojo TV, Bruno Varela, Héctor Ballesteros,
Gabriela León, Carlos Franco, Nadja Massun, Ana Santos, Luna Maran,
Juan Robles and Lucero González, curated by Isabel Rojas. Rounding out
the installation will be the pirate transmissions of Radio Planton and
photos, prints and drawings by prominent Mexican artists Demián Flores
and Antonio Turok, marking the first occasion their work will be
exhibited in Canada.
Antimatter will also feature musical performances and videos by
legendary Vancouver art-rock duo Mecca Normal on a double bill with
local heroes Run Chico Run, and the world premiere performance of
Lightbox, Alex MacKenzie's latest exploration and reconfiguration of
cinematic apparatus and emulsion.
Special invited programs include the sexadelic Xperimental Eros,
curated by Noel Lawrence and Craig Baldwin of Other Cinema, The Best
of Pixel This -- a program of videos celebrating the 20th anniversary
of the obsolete PXL 2000 toy video camera successfully adopted by
contemporary video artists as a low-fi cult medium, and the
extraordinary Lunchfilm series -- works commissioned by CineVegas
programmer Mike Plante for the cost of lunches he buys for
experimental filmmakers.
In addition to the festival proper, special events for filmmakers,
programmers, curators and the general public will abound. As an
anniversary gift to the people who truly make this festival possible,
Antimatter is giving free 2007 festival passes to filmmakers who have
participated in any previous edition of the festival.
Antimatter 2007 program guides will hit the streets of Victoria (and
our website) the first week of September.
A selection of film stills and video clips are available for print and
broadcast purposes.
