THIS INTERVIEW WAS RECORDED 9/l/80 AT THE VIDEO INN BY PAUL WONG. You've been coming out to Vancouver the past few seasons, you've been involved in various activities as a performer, as video artist irr re.sidence at the Western Front, social calls as well as stage manager for the Living Art Performance Festival last year. What makes you want to leavE? Toronto at this particular• time in your career ? I .like the boys here .(srticker) The reason I came was because I was asked • I'm here to replace Kate Craig as the Video Director at the Western Front, she will be travelling for the next l2 months with Hank Bull. I will also be teaching a course at the Emily Carr College of Art called 'Video, P~rformance and Publications'. What does being Video Director at the Western Front entail ? It entails adminstrative, curatorial and techni­ cal doo dahs. Curatorial because there . are X Q) number of video productions per season .
