exhibits

Andrew Frosst, Ian MacTilstra, Eva Schindling & David Whitten

Clash explores works that address the destructive, creative or unveiling potential of a moment of conflictual intersection. The exhibit brings together four emerging Canadian artists who in their own way utilize collisions as the conceptual frame in which to create dynamic New Media artworks. Using the creative potential of material and immaterial encounters, Ian MacTilstra, Eva Schindling, Andrew Frosst and David Whitten have identified moments of intersection as the ideal locus in which to generate new hybrid forms.

Philippe Cool

Local emerging artist Philippe Cool creates an interactive and all-consuming labyrinth of mechanical sculptures and installations. Through his use of discarded electronics, recycled materials and outdated apparatuses, Cool makes a world of curiosities come to life. Through the lens of a prototypical society, his work questions the power dynamics that exist between creator and user.

The Department of Public Nuisances (D.P.N.) is an experiment in collaborative art making, public intervention politics and avant-garde documentation practises. At its core, D.P.N. strove to demonstrate the versatility of electronic arts in triggering actions and reactions between objects and ideas, creators and users.
