Programming

Project :: Diptych curated by Sudbury artist Dunstan Topp is a study of northern Ontario practices through the experimentation and arrangement of video works.

Following a multi-channel workshop offered by northern Ontario multimedia artist Katie Huckson, eleven regional artists created informed works exploring the medium of projection and installation.

By making this project accessible to northern artists, the gallery becomes a kiln where multimedia works burn and fuse into an evening of silver screen delight.

Opening

Project :: Diptych will be presented as part of the Carrefour francophone’s Nuit émergente on Friday May 16 at 8 pm and as a loop on Saturday May 17 during the day!
