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.
