Video art in Québec
A video selection from Videographe’s collection will be presented at the 6th edition of the Tehran Limited Access Festival  at  Aknoon gallery in Iran. A second projection will be at  NewMediaSociety in collboration with VA ( Independant Space for Contemporary Art) . This International Festival of moving images, sound and performance was founded by Parkingallery Projects, an Independent art space for new media in Tehran.

This programme showcases works from Vidéographe’s collection that represent approaches by multidisciplinary artists of different generations and with different influences. All have been produced over the last three years with the exception of Rick Raxlen’s video, which takes us back some 30 years and serves to demonstrate the evolution of video art in Quebec and where it is today.

Whether analogue or digital, these videos push the materiality of the medium and equally demonstrate experimentation or the use of decomposition in sound. The spectator becomes immersed in poetic and dreamlike worlds in which utopia and dystopia cross over, subverting our understanding of the world.
