We understand the pressures that publicly funded non-profit arts organizations such as yours are under.

However, we are concerned that by not paying people, only those who can afford to work for free cordialement, will be able to benefit from your internship scheme.

  • Mid-Life Shelf-Life, by R.M. Vaughan
    Lisa Steele Creative Director, Vtape 2 I am always looking for people who will immerse themselves in the rich, thick humus of the various pasts that inhabit the shelves at Vtape. In 2009, writer and artist RM Vaughan had an idea for a possible programme at Vtape. it would involve a lot of research, a lot of viewing. That summer he began a curatorial residency at Vtape, looking at work in our holdings. He viewed hundreds of titles – sometimes to the end but not always… He was searching for a programme – or rather, he was on a search for the shape of a programme, what it would look like. Thus began Mid-Life/Shelf Life, RM Vaughan’s rigourously structured (all in pairs, each programme proceeding two-by-two), yet deeply personal survey of video art seen through the lens of a patient searcher. In many ways, Richard Vaughan is an ideal writer/curator to undertake such a survey: he works actively to counter received knowledge, rejecting notions of “the canon” and other – externally imposed - pyramidal structures that dictate how “art” is to be absorbed and categorized. Thanks to the artists who made these works and to their curator. Richard Vaughan has presented us with a delightful flow through video art, part history (he did go back and back…) and part pure pleasure (it’s the humour especially here…), Mid-Life/Shelf Life opens new eyes on some real gems, illuminating them anew through the lens of the present. 3 BRENDA GOLDSTEIN 2007 title Horoscope language English running time 5:09 The future of film..

  • Glitch and Figure, by Yaniya Lee (2020)
    Parallel pasts Glitch and In a crowded, airless, room at a downtown Toronto Figure: gallery, BIPOC participants of the 2019 Images Festival Research Forum—a group of emerging representation and artists and researchers selected to engage in all the festival’s events—read out a list of refusal in the videos collective critiques. “The breadth of critique and feedback that we–as precarious BIPOC workers– have of Buseje Bailey and prepared here is egregious,” they noted, before outlining a lack of attention to accessibility, ariella tai a lack of transparency about budget resources, and questionable programming. “Do not program works where the filmmaker does blackface. It is By Yaniya Lee blatantly racist,” they continued. “Hold filmmakers to ethical practices.” They expressed a desire to have mentorship from Black, Indigenous and racialized filmmakers, curators and organizers, rather than artists who needed to be educated on racial politics. Filmmaker ariella tai, one of the participants, asked “Why non- Black, non-Indigenous, non-people-of-colour filmmakers and artists are not asked to grapple with ... the histories of settler colonialism [from] Transatlantic slavery to exploitation to capitalism with the same rigour, grace, and integrity that we see people who are immediately affected by these systems [deal] with it.” The frustration expressed in the critiques and eradicate ideas and practices of sexism, sexual individual testimonials was the result of what stereotyping, class exploitation, white supremacy, they saw as a serious misalignment between the homophobia and imperialism.” The artist Buséje festival’s stated principles and its actual Bailey (then Beatrice Bailey) was a friend of the programming.
