✶ The program will be presented in Toronto in early 2025 at Vtape, a date to be confirmed.
This project originated with members of Vtape’s board of directors, who were remembering a time when there were more frequent collaborations and exchanges between artist-run centres in Québec and Ontario. When it was incorporated in 1983, Vtape was partly modeled after Vidéographe, and the two organizations have worked together over the years as trusted colleagues dealing with similar issues in cultural policy, distribution, preservation, and digitization (including Vtape’s extensive restoration and digitization work for Vidéographe’s major DVD collection Istvan Kantor Anthologie Vidéo / Video Anthology). As organizations have become more locally focused, interprovincial collaborations have fallen off, and the recent pandemic disrupted a lot of ongoing communication and collaboration as we all struggled to adapt.
This screening brings together emerging artists from Montréal and Toronto in a single program that will be presented by both Vidéographe and Vtape. It is the result of an initiative intended to reopen these channels of communication and collaboration. We are curious to see what emerging artists in one another’s cities are doing, and how video art is changing in a post-pandemic, YouTube and TikTok world.
