SUMMARY:EthnoLab Film Nights at Cinéma du Parc
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce that on April 12th the Ethnography Lab is taking their Film Nights to the Cinéma du Parc for a collaborative event! \nThe film will be screened in presence of the protagonist\, Rocco Sait\, who will offer a musical performance. A discussion animated by our coordinator Maya Lamothe-Katrapani with the director\, Alexandra Sicotte-Lévesque\, and Dr. Justin Gest\, Professor of Policy and Government at George Mason University will follow. \nGreyland is the story of what was the fastest shrinking city in the United States\, Youngstown\, Ohio. Once the booming centre of American steel\, when the bottom fell out of the industry in the 1950s\, 60% of the population moved out. Today\, 37% of those left\, live beneath the poverty line. Like Rocco and Amber. A recovering heroin addict turned urban archeologist\, Rocco hunts through hundreds of abandoned houses. Vintage clothing\, records\, art works\, everything he finds goes to Greyland\, his art gallery come thrift store\, to be converted into cash. Meanwhile Amber is a single mother and the president of the Neighborhood Association of Homeowners\, leading the fight against city hall for their inaction in cleaning up her neighborhood. “We want to believe\,” Amber says\, “that there’s good\, hopeful things coming.”

SUMMARY:The Other Market Game and The Loot Garden Art Market
DESCRIPTION:Check out The OTHER Market this Saturday April 22nd. The OTHER Market is a mini-larp locative media treasure hunt exquisite corpse gamey experience – designed over many months by the Liveness Research group at TAG.  \nThe OTHER Market is part of a SSHRC project looking at ways to design what are now often called immersive experiences\, so that they are truly participatory. This results in a structure which does not rely on a lot of actors (or other trained staff) to run a production and makes these kinds of projects more sustainable for small teams and companies with modest budgets. \nThematically\, The OTHER Market explores meaning-making around objects and collections of objects. What can objects mean when they are untethered from consumption and/or status? \nSign up for the game. \nAND…The game takes place within a real art market called The Loot Garden. This art market has been especially organized to complement the game but you can come to the market without participating in the game. \nInfo on The Loot Garden art market. \nAt the wonderful public venue : ANTEISM!

SUMMARY:Le spectre anime nos os // The Spectre Animates our Bones
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Performing Arts Research Cluster\, Emilie Morin and Ryan Clayton are organizing a series of events around their currently exhibited work Le spectre anime nos os // The Spectre Animates our Bones\, in the Fofa Gallery’s Black Box until June 2nd. Happening throughout the week of April 24th\, all events are free and independent. You may participate in one\, two or all of them! \nGallery Visit & Discussion\nDuring this gallery visit and discussion\, participants will experience the motion captured animation in Fofa’s Black Box. This is also an opportunity to see the other exhibitions happening at the same time at Fofa. \nThe visit will be followed by an informal discussion in which Emilie Morin (in person) and Ryan Clayton (streaming live from Winnipeg!) will share their process and their interests while creating The Spectre Animates our Bones. The discussion is considered a time of exchange between artists and audience: questions\, comments and discussion are more than welcome! \nVisit at 5pm | Fofa Gallery (515 Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest EV 1-715)\nDiscussion at 6pm | Milieux Institute Resource Room (EV 11.705) \nUsing Blender to create virtual sets\nInterested in 3D modeling to create virtual sets?  \nTuesday\, April 25\, 7-10pm\nOnline (Zoom link upon rsvp: leparc.milieux@gmail.com)\nLed by Ryan Clayton \nMovement and dance workshop\nThursday April 27 & Friday April 28\, 2-5pm\nFine Arts Black Box | EV Building\, sub basement S3.845-855\nLed by Emilie Morin\n__ \nAbout the Exhibition\nThe Spectre Animates our Bones is a work of braided dance. Emilie and Ryan choreographed a movement piece which each of them performed individually and recorded through motion capture technology. Each of their individual captures has been mapped onto the same virtual object\, animating its virtual body through space. Presented as a dual-channel video\, viewers can stand within an undulating 3D scan of the performer’s kitchen and watch the performance from multiple perspectives. Although the artists’ performances for motion capture are not directly visible in the animation\, the human quality of movement injected into the virtual form generates a distinct experience of performance for the viewers. It is a braided performance in that each movement strand is limited to its own characteristics\, but braided together\, they create a whole that superimposes itself to produce new meanings while still maintaining the characteristic movements of each individual. Motion capture technology is deployed in this piece to question human agency and movement: can performers possess qualities that make them undeniably recognizable? Can virtual movement act as a stand- in for these unique human agents? The choreography was built with these main questions in mind\, finding ways to confuse the viewers’ eyes into a blurred vision of virtual and “real” movement. With Emilie’s professional experience as a dance performer and Ryan’s background in solo and collective performance art\, the duo also examines how to position the dancing body in a traditional gallery space. Dance and performance are often associated with the ephemeral\, compared to the groundedness of the art object. Our virtual forms become an archive\, rooting a dance performance in the gallery space\, and suggesting that what contemporary artist Brendan Fernandes calls the “footmade” is as valuable as the “handmade”. \nAbout the artists\nSince 2017\, Ryan Clayton (contemporary artist) and Emilie Morin (dance and new media artist) have maintained a collaborative performance practice focusing primarily on the subject of consumer telecommunication technologies such as Skype\, Twitch and Zoom. Through their practice\, they have noticed that the world’s telecommunication networks have turned ubiquitous almost to the point of invisibility. These networks seamlessly integrate their way into humanity’s lives\, deeply impacting the ways in which humans communicate and relate to one another. Without prioritizing a particular form\, the artists deploy various technologies in their performances\, phone calls\, text messaging\, VR conversations\, and motion capture software to manipulate immersive and digitally created worlds. Their collaboration is specifically interested in telecommunication’s capacity for meaning making\, and its ability to transfer the indiscernible. \nMore info on the exhibition: https://www.concordia.ca/finearts/facilities/fofa-gallery/exhibitions/2023/ryan-clayton-emilie-morin.html

SUMMARY:EthnoLab Film Nights: 'Occupied' by Albina Kovalyova - Screening and Talk
DESCRIPTION:On April 26th at 6 PM\, The Ethnography lab presents the screening of ‘Occupied’ in the last Film Nights of the semester. The documentary follows Dmytro Bahnenko\, a journalist in Kherson\, southern Ukraine\, as he spent three months secretly recording his city’s resistance to the Russian occupation. In an extraordinary and personal film\, Dmytro chronicles the harsh reality of life under occupation\, as food and medicines become scarce\, people flee\, and others begin to disappear. Dmytro and his wife Lidia struggle to shield their four-year-old daughter Ksusha from the war\, and make the difficult decision to try to escape. ‘Occupied’ was released on the BBC World Service on 20th October 2022. Just two weeks later Kherson was liberated by Ukrainian armed forces. Despite a momentary glimpse of hope for the people of Kherson\, the city has been under heavy bombardment and shelling from Russian military forces since. The documentary stands as a powerful chronicle of the occupation as it is anchored in the human story of one family. \nThe screening will be accompanied by a pre-recorded interview with its producer and director\, Albina Kovalyova\, as well as some updated clips from Dmytro taken after the release of the documentary. \n*No registration is required \nOccupied\, (2022) BBC Eye for BBC World Service.\nDmytro Bahnenko (reporter)\nAlbina Kobalyova (Producer and Director)\nMichael Simkin and Kateryna Khinkulova (Executive Producers)
