WINTER NIGHT : NIGHT-BASED PROJECTIONS FROM WINNIPEG, MB
Slide projection and hand-built animation projector performance by Doreen Girard with live music by Slattern / 16mm films & projection performance by Irene Bindi accompanied by Aston Coles.
Join four Winnipeg artists for a program of live music and moving images inspired by Manitoba’s cold winters, grim histories, and supernatural stories. At the geographic centre of the continent, Winnipeg is a thoroughfare and point of convergence of many kinds: railway paths, bird migratory routes, and as the supernatural center of the land for many Aboriginal peoples and spiritualists. Hailing from this, the coldest English-speaking city in the world, Doreen Girard and Irene Bindi developed Winter Night. Their similar processes develop through collections of found technology, materials, and stories. Both rely heavily on the Manitoba winter for assistance in their creations.
