Can the integrity of video artwork shown on the Web or on television be compromised? Transmitted out of the control of their author, to what fate are these works devoted? Izabel Barsive, visual artist, independant video maker and professor, questions the fragile relationship she maintains with the broadcasting industry and its platforms, in her exhibition Une minute pour un carré blanc (One minute for a white square), presented at Centre d’artistes Voix Visuelle from March 13 to April 20, 2010.
With one-minute excerpts of transformed videos (by censure processes, for example), she examines the role played by television and Web broadcasters, as well as the role of the artist. According to her, the latter can consent to all kinds of compromises in exchange for one or many minutes of glory, glory inexorably ephemeral since also subjected to oblivion in the hubbub of virtual images polluted by advertising.
Come and meet the artist at the opening reception, which will be held Saturday, March 13, at 1 p.m., at Centre d’artistes Voix Visuelle, located at 81 Beechwood Avenue, in Vanier. The gallery’s regular hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., from Tuesday to Saturday.
Centre d’artistes Voix Visuelle thanks the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Ontario Arts Council, Canadian Heritage and the City of Ottawa for their support.

The Urban Field Speakers Series centres on the role of art in transforming the experience of the city. Through lectures, audio-visual presentations and discussions, it explores how creative practices can help improve the quality of urban life and planning in Toronto and around the world. This series of monthly events brings together an array of international and local participants, including artists, architects, curators, designers and scholars, who are working at the intersections of technology, communications and aesthetics. Reflecting a broad range of perspectives and practices, the events build upon each other to inspire dialogue on the role of the city in art, and art in the city.

Drama Guild Presents
MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA – THE HAUNTED
By Eugene O’Neill
Directed by André Perrier
The University of Ottawa Department of Theatre proudly announces the Drama Guild production of Mourning Becomes Electra – The Haunted by Eugene O’Neill, directed by André Perrier
Celebrating 79 years since its first appearance on Broadway, Mourning Becomes Electra – The Haunted adapts the Greek myth of Orestes into a story that delves deep into the lives of the Mannon family during the American Civil War. Inherently a melodramatic script, this intriguing play, acted by a young cast, explores the themes of adultery, murder, and incestuous love and revenge.
Actor, director and playwright André Perrier studied at the Conservatoire de Québec from 1979 to 1982. In 1992, he wrote and directed Signal d’alarme, which won best play at the Ottawa Book Festival. He was artistic director of Triangle Vital from 1990 to 1998 where he wrote and directed most productions. He became the Artistic Director of Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario in 1998, throwing his creative energies into the development of new plays, including Du pépin à la fissure and Univers (winner of the Masque de la meilleure production franco-canadienne 2001). André teaches part-time at Ottawa University where he has directed La Maison de Bernarda Alba and Ubu roi and has also taught at l’Université du Québec à Montréal where he has recently directed Coulson P.M. Lately, Sexy béton 1 and 2 which he directed for Porte Parole Theatre, made the Montreal Ici newspaper’s best ten list of 2009.
The Drama Guild Production of Mourning Becomes Electra – The Haunted also features a set design by Normand Vandal, costumes by Judy De Boer, sound design by Kevin McCagg, and lighting design by Margaret Coderre-Williams.
