“Explorations In Dimension: Recent Videos of Peter Rose”
Join us in welcoming artist and filmmaker Peter Rose who will be presenting a program of recent work on video. The Connectivity Through Cinema series will present the work of artists, film-makers and curators who are traveling or presenting special interactive programs in-person. Our hope is to engage the community by showing work with a focus on post-screening discussion.
MONO NO AWARE's annual exhibition is held to give open forum to work that, because of its transient nature, might not otherwise find a venue in a traditional movie theater, gallery or stage. Inherent in the work is a sense of connectivity and shared viewer experience. The curated program focuses on live projected elements as part of sculpture, installation and performance. This year's edition features expanded cinema, performance, live music, and installation with 15 works by 33 international artists in Brooklyn, NY. See the full programme here.
Dates:
Friday, December 4, 2015 (All day) to Saturday, December 5, 2015 (All day)
Mono No Aware would like to invite you to join us for a special screening presentation with friend and film historian Stephen Broomer. Come and see a selection of inspiring 16mm films created over the last 5 years. These moving images will follow a surface treatment workshop led by the artist where he'll share some of his surface techniques with participants. This is a unique opportunity to share the workspace with this artist from Toronto and also experience his films in person. Broomer's work has screened at Views from the Avant-Garde, TIFF Wavelengths, the Berlin Directors Lounge and is the subject of a new release by Ottawa: Canadian Film Institute * Institut canadien du film, a collection of essays edited by Scott Birdwise and Tom McSorley, entitled "The Transformable Moment: The Films of Stephen Broomer." 2014.
Dates:
Sunday, October 18, 2015 - 19:00 to Monday, October 19, 2015 - 18:55
Avant-garde film and video practice emerges from vibrant cultures of experimentation and collaboration. This program represents work produced around and selected by two exemplary organizations: the New York-based Mono No Aware, and Tokyo-based [+] (Plus). Some of the featured films and videos emphasize elements of collaboration and transnational exchange, and influence between artists, spaces and technologies in Japan and the U.S. Juxtaposing works by artists loosely associated with the creative networks of Mono No Aware and [+] produces a visually and aurally stimulating 90+ minutes of unexpected connections and discoveries. Organized by Japan Society, Steve Cossman of Mono No Aware and Takashi Makino of [+].
