We are pleased to invite you to our Annual General Meeting, which will take place on October 18, 2024, at 6PM. The meeting will be held at Vidéographe’s premises and on Zoom. The link will be sent to members via email. 

This will be an opportunity to review our achievements, learn about upcoming projects, and elect the members of the Board of Directors. You are welcome to nominate yourself or another person for election. Please note that both active and associate members are eligible to serve on the Board of Directors.

 

  • An active member is a registered member who has paid their dues for two consecutive years, has at least one media artwork to their credit, and has been approved by the general assembly or the board of directors.

 

  • The board of directors can admit associate members, including media art critics, curators of media arts events, or administrators of artist-run centers, based on their submission of a portfolio documenting their past activities in these fields.

The Board of Directors meets approximately four to six times a year, with meetings lasting around an hour and a half. Members are also invited to participate in ad hoc or permanent committees.

“Nelson Henricks’ work is very unique and emblematic of what contemporary artistic practices have to offer. A way of being in the world that at once unmistakably inscribes itself in the present, while acknowledging what has built it, nourished it, stimulated it, made it, so to speak. By developing this language that is so singular to him, Henricks has made a very significant contribution to the evolution of video art in Canada.  In addition to the extraordinary quality of his work, Henricks has made a generous contribution to his community. A contribution that unfolds in many ways, from supporting the development of young artists’ practice in institutional or non-institutional settings, to enriching the discourse around the works of his peers, to contributing to the influence and balance of Montreal’s visual and media arts ecosystem.”
