Ryan Trecartin: In Short (in Person)
@ Buddies in Bad Times, 12 Alexander St.
A co-presentation with the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film and Video Festival and The Power Plant
To mark the closing weekend of Ryan Trecartin’s largest exhibition to date — ‘Any Ever’ at The Power Plant — join Trecartin as he presents a selection of his shorter videos primarily made while he was in his early twenties. Trecartin has created a unique digital universe that combines performing bodies and extreme editing effects. The result is a delirious and disorienting portrait of contemporary (cyber) culture, where identity and narrative, space and time, are in a constant state of flux.

It is everywhere!
The year was 1967 and the Universal exhibition in Montreal, commonly referred to as Expo 67, was where multi-screen highlights like In the Labyrinth premiered. It was hailed by Time magazine as a “stunning visual display,” their review concluding: “such visual delights as Labyrinth … suggest that cinema—the most typical of 20th century arts—has just begun to explore its boundaries and possibilities.” Directors Norman Jewison and Richard Fleischer conceived their ambitious split-screen films of 1968 after visiting Expo ‘67.
Just look at the possibilities. I wanna explore this way more! (for some reason I could only find a clip of Brain DePalma’s Sisters in french)
Orgesticulanismus & Ophthalmology posted on February 2nd, 2010
Mathieu Labaye created the short film ‘Orgesticulanismus‘ as a tribute to his father, a man who’d been confined to a wheelchair for the last 15 years of his life.
This is one of my favourite sequences from Julian Schnabel’s The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007); also about a man confined by the malfunction of his body.
