-
Description
-
Project and donor contributed description follows: "Ahead of his time Kate’s dad, George, takes one of the original selfies and films himself in his bathroom mirror on Super8 Kodachrome film in 1963. Kate’s brother, Stan, recalls seeing his dad set up lights to make this possible. George was a real film buff, a fan of Charlie Chaplin, and actively sought out arts and culture. Life and Time magazines came through the mail every week, and Kate says if it weren’t for him taking up these interests she wouldn’t have a worldview outside of small town Prairie Manitoba."

Borders, by Alexandra Gelis
-
Description
-
Borders, 2010, is a 3 minute intimate photographic exploration of the bodies belonging to six queer individuals. This animation, made up of hundreds of high-resolution photographs, unabashedly examines the evidence of physical change and transformation: surgery scars, tattoos, and other traces. The bodies are fragmented, as are the stories affiliated with these traces, and identities remain delightfully elusive. Alexandra Gelis is a Colombian Venezuelan, Toronto based multidisciplinary artist with a background in photography, web design and visual arts. She works with photography, video and digital art to explore the image in relation to memory, migration and encounters. Her use of sequential photographs focuses on her relationship with communities where she has worked facilitating photography and video workshops. She also has developed a series of works documenting intimate performances and translating them into photomontages and video installations. Her video work has been shown in several venues in Toronto, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama and the U.S..

RE:FORM, by Joseph Medaglia
-
Description
-
RE:FORM: Becoming Visible explores the tensions between gay visibility, representation and embodied subjectivity, challenging the assumption that visibility equals liberation and functions transparently. The overall purpose of this piece is to explore how the invisibility of gay sexuality becomes visible and manifests through the body. In order to do this, I draw from the mythic figure of the monster - a figure that embodies difference and otherness. In the video, the monstrous body erupts from a green coloured field and constitutes a visual pattern while at the same time the visual pattern constitutes the body. This relationship symbolizes the paradox of visibility, as the visual structure exists only through the display of bodies. In culture, the representation of identities exists through the visibility of identities, yet identities are limited by concrete representations that replicate dominant ideologies. The visual pattern is intended as a metaphor for structures inherent in representation that attempt to reproduce dominant ideologies. By subjecting the representation of the monster to the visual pattern, I explore the tensions between dominant ideologies and subjects. The growth and collapse of the monstrous body denotes the possibility of resistance to structures in representation. RE:FORM: Becoming Visible resists the efforts to limit identities and explores the possibilities of open, incomplete subjectivity. New forms are created through resistance. The result is a display of growth, collapse, beauty, desire, sexuality and embodiment. Joseph Medaglia is a scholar, artist, designer and educator. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Art and a Master of Arts in Communication and Culture. His research examines the relationship between representation, identity and the body, in particular as it relates to gay subjects. His creative work employs methods of experimental video, costume, interactive design and more recently, robotics and physical computing. For more information visit www.jmedaglia.ca

Marchant family videos : 3 J.P Birthday 1 year Old 1976 : Part 4 of 4
-
Description
-
A video clip recording from 1976 to 1978 with the first half consisting of children and adults gathered in a garage and backyard, and the second half capturing Niagara Falls during the wintertime. Project and donor(s) contributed description follows: "These clips show episodes from Jean-Pierre Marchant’s childhood in the mid-1970s Montreal. His parents were immigrants, recently arrived from Argentina and Chile. Throughout Jean-Pierre’s childhood, they documented the family’s life with a Super 8 camera (and would later switch to video). These clips depict him as a playful child, trips, and well-attended birthday parties. Looking back, Jean-Pierre recognizes that these parties were a big opportunity for the adults to get together and celebrate. The Marchants mostly socialized with people from similar backgrounds, and Jean-Pierre says that “it was important for my parents, who were trying to make a life in a new place, to associate with others who spoke their language."
