CURRENT 312 ONLINE VIDEOS
Feb. 1 – Mar. 15, 2006 / 2 Selections from 312 OnScreen: Aubrey Reeves,
“Two Knots, One Not” & Micheline Durocher, “Syncope”

“Two Knots, One Not”: After spending a summer crewing a whale watching
schooner in the Bay of Fundy, I became fascinated by the paradoxical
simple beauty and complexity of knots.   This video shows three slightly
different knots being tied, each with very different outcomes.

Aubrey Reeves is originally from New Brunswick, but studied visual art at
University of Toronto and received an MA in Curatorial Studies at Bard
College in New York.  She is Programming Director at Trinity Square Video,
an artist-run media arts centre in Toronto.  She works in video,
photography, and drawing, and also performs with the collective Bantam AAA
Art Team.

“Syncope” explores the way one can speak through the body when symbolic
language fails.  The body of the aphasic female reader becomes a way of
coming into contact with what is beyond the self, what the self fails to
grasp.

Micheline Durocher is a visual artist living in Montreal, Canada.  A
mainstay of her art has been the exploitation of photo-based media and,
more recently, video.  Her photographic work has been shown nationally in
individual and group exhibitions at Vu (Quebec), Gallery 44 (Toronto),
WARC (Toronto), Expression (Saint-Hyacinthe), Ace Art (Winnipeg), and AKA
(Saskatoon).  She earned an MFA degree from Concordia University.  She
currently teaches in the Fine Arts department of Bishop’s University.
