Harun Farocki’s
IMAGES OF THE WORLD AND THE INSCRIPTION OF WAR

February 17 to March 13, 2010
Reception: Thursday, February 18, 5 to 7 pm

The artists within this show, Ivette Aghajani, Eugenie Davis,
Shlomi Greenspan, Nathaniel Hurtubise, Megan A. Skyvington,
and Jarrod Wilson produce work which explores architectural
forms and space as points of personal reference, whether
referring to a personal memory or to a geographical location.
The idea of space as a referent indicates an interest in the
search for individual identities and a sense of place within a
system which perceives space as property and wealth.

Curated by Christine Swiderski.

Solo exhibition presented at the MAI from February 4 to March 13, 2010

Opening Reception / Guided Tour / Catalogue Launch: Thursday, February 4 at 5 pm
Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, from 12 noon to 6 pm

Montreal, January 26, 2010 – The MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels) is proud to present Brendan Fernandes’ solo exhibition Haraka Haraka from February 4 to March 13. The international artist presents three recent video works that critically explore the experience of hybrid identity, diasporic memory, and migration.

“L’histoire, c’est l’histoire de ce qui se passe sur scène.”

Le coin d'une rue. 12 secondes d'attente avant de traverser.

12 tableaux : un pour chaque seconde. Variations sur un même thème : la rencontre de l'Individu et de la Foule.

L'Homme-Foule, c’est un voyage dans l'univers du détail, le portrait fantaisiste d'une fraction de quotidien, le jeu des perceptions. Ce sont des performeurs venus de maints horizons (musique, électroacoustique, sculpture, théâtre, vidéo et d’autres encore) mis en scène parmi un bordel organisé d’objets.
