THE CHARLOTTE STREET ARTS CENTRE SHOWCASES INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS THROUGH DIGITAL MEDIA!
The newly established Got Video? Gallery is the Charlotte Street Arts Centre’s latest attraction. The gallery, a wall-mounted 42” LCD TV, is housed in the main foyer of the Charlotte Street Arts Centre, and is a community resource for arts groups, provided by the Fredericton Arts Alliance through funding received from the City of Fredericton.
Currently on rotation is a series of nine videopoems by Belgian artist, Swoon. Swoon has produced over 60 videopoems, has collaborated with various writers in different languages and has been shown at a number of international festivals, such as the International Literary Film Festival (Brooklyn, NY), Vimfest (Mexico), the Experimental Film and Video Festival (Croatia), the upcoming Poetry Film Festival ZEBRA (Berlin, Germany), and many more.
Following Swoon will be video artist Jean-Michel Rolland from Paris, France. Both a musician and an artist, Jean-Michel Rolland uses video to produce experimental sequences that use utensils and found objects to create visual and musical compositions as one. Jean-Michel has also screened his works at international festivals, such as the West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival, the Festival Internacional de la Imagen (Columbia), the 8th Berlin International Directors Lounge and more. Jean-Michel Rolland’s work will be shown from May 19 – June 22, 2012.
