  • Performing Power
    Rebecca Belmore: Performing Power Jolene Rickard The aurora borealis or northern lights, ignited by the intersection of elements at precisely the right second, burst into a fire of light on black Anishinabe nights. For some, the northern lights are simply reflections caused by hemispheric dust, but for others they are power. Rebecca Belmore knows about this power; her mother, Rose, told her so.1 Though the imbrication of Anishinabe thinking was crucial in her formative years in northern Ontario, Belmore now has a much wider base of observation from Vancouver, British Columbia. Her role as 2 transgressor and initiator—moving fluidly in the hegemony of the west reformulated as "empire " —reveals how conditions of dispossession are normalized in the age of globalization. Every country has a national narrative, and Canada is better than most at attempting to integrate multiple stories into the larger framework, but the process is still a colonial project. The Americas need to be read as a colonial space with aboriginal or First Nations people as seeking decolonization. The art world has embraced the notion of transnational citizens, moving from one country to the next by continuously locating their own subjectivities in homelands like China, Africa and elsewhere. As a First Nations or aboriginal person, Belmore's homeland is now the modern nation of Canada; yet, there is reluctance by the art world to recognize this condition as a continuous form of cultural and political exile. The inclusion of the First Nations political base is not meant to marginalize Belmore's work, but add depth to it.

  • THE ART of CHESS 8 September – 3 October 2012
    Photography by Norbert Schoerner. Courtesy of RS&A THE ART OF CHESS 8 September – 3 October 2012 presented by SAATCHI GALLERY and RS&A in association with “From my close contact with artists and chess players I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.” Marcel Duchamp, 1952. The Art of Chess brings together 16 chess sets designed by some of the world’s leading contemporary artists in celebration of the ‘game of kings’ and its continued relevance to the creative arts. These specially commissioned chess sets have been created by: Maurizio Cattelan, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Oliver Clegg, Tracey Emin, Tom Friedman, Paul Fryer, Damien Hirst, Barbara Kruger, Yayoi Kusama, Paul McCarthy, Alastair Mackie, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Matthew Ronay,Tunga, Gavin Turk and Rachel Whiteread. Each set is individually crafted in a wide variety of different materials including wood, porcelain, glass, amber and silver. This exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery will be the first time that all 16 chess sets are displayed together and it will also be the first public showing of a new commission by British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster. Famous for their shadow sculptures, the artists have taken the opportunity to return to their on-going fascination with dead animals and have created a woodland chess set complete with hand carved tree stump with bronze chess pieces inspired by the artists’ collection of mummified animals - found on their farm in Gloucestershire - squirrels take the roles of King and Queen and frogs act as Pawns.

  • New Temporalities and Productive Tensions in Dana Claxton's Made to Be Ready a Review Essay
    Survivance, Signs, and Media Art Histories: New Temporalities and Productive Tensions in Dana Claxton’s Made to Be Ready A Review Essay Julia Polyck-O’Neill Since our work documents records, and interprets decolonization, and is an expression of our cultures, our social relationships to the state and church, and our communities, what is the exchange with the viewer? One of pedagogy, understanding, truth, hope? Perhaps all and more. – Dana Claxton, “Re:Wind”1 arge-scale lightbox photographs and projections,2 reminiscent of Vancouver’s photo-conceptualistic narratives, dominate the darkened Simon Fraser University’s Audain Gallery. The eye Lmoves from static images to moving projections. The content of the images is visibly interconnected: the figure depicted in each appears to be the same woman; the punchy clarity, vivid palette, and the glossy, high definition and resolution as well as the contemporary aesthetic of the photographic images are also measurably consistent throughout. But although the works share an author, the theme, or intention, underlying them is challenging to discern. Although there are, ostensibly, referents available for issues of identity and remediation, they transcend the once traditional frameworks of conventional art historical categorization. The artist, Dana Claxton, is an artist-critic born in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, is of Hunkpapa Lakota descent, and is an associate professor in the University of British Columbia’s Art History, Visual Art, and Theory 1 Dana Claxton, “Re:Wind,” in Transference, Technology, Tradition: Native New Media, ed. Candice Hopkins, Melanie Townsend, Dana Claxton, Stephen Loft (Banff: Walter Phillips Gallery Editions, 2005), 16. 2 Claxton’s works are actually shown on LED fireboxes, a contemporary take on Jeff Wall and Ian Baxter’s fluorescent lightboxes of the late twentieth century.

  • On Nature and Its Representation in Canadian Short Film and Video)
    ON NATURE AND ITS REPRESENTATION IN CANADIAN SHORT FILM AND VIDEO) By JOSEPHINE M. MASSARELLA Integrated Studies Final Project Essay (MAIS 700) submitted to DR. MICHAEL GISMONDI in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta APRIL, 2015 ABSTRACT This essay examines representations of nature in a selection of short Canadian film and digital video. It discusses ontologically problematic (Hessing, “Fall” 288) aspects of nature, drawing largely on ecocinema and eco-aesthetics, as well as cinema studies, ecology, ecocriticism, ecoaesthetics, and (post)colonialism. Through these disciplines, it also explores the materiality of visual media and the impact of these media on the environment. Many of the difficulties such a project poses are exacerbated by the incipience of ecocinema, of which numerous and often contradictory interpretations exist. While such heterogeneity raises challenges for scholars wishing to isolate meaning, it provides a degree of versatility in the analysis of film and video. In this paper, several interpretations are brought to bear on a selection of short Canadian films, variously examined from within different critical paradigms. Keywords: interdisciplinary, ecophilosophy, systems of human domination, visual media On Nature and Its Representation 1 On Nature and its Representation in Canadian Short Independent Film and Digital Cinema The communicative power of moving images has long excited my creativity and fueled my professional life as a Canadian independent filmmaker. With this power I have conveyed personal perspectives that would otherwise remain silent and cultivated new ones that bring light to otherwise dusky regions of my mind. These perspectives often point towards nature, and look upon it with feelings of humility, reverence, and respect.

Masculine denotes a particular and celebrated way of being in the world for boys, and is perpetuated through institutions, families, peers and the media. But what about those individuals who identify as male and do not represent stereotypical qualities of masculinity? How does this incongruence complicate their sense of identity or authenticity, and affect their relationships with others? The common trope “boys will be boys” has reverberated through Western society, dismissing male behavior as a simple and harmless inevitability of biology.
