Check out our recent foray into public art: a video installation we made with Highwire Films and nine students from Jasper Place High School.
It’s already played at the Nina Haggerty and United Way, and it plays tonight and tomorrow night at The ARTery!
As well as In/stall/ed, happening tomorrow, we’ve got even more public art on our plate. Here’s what we have lined up for early next week, from Kelta, our special projects program assistant:
Latitude 53 has created a public video installation with eight students from Jasper Place High School that will be shown in the storefronts of The Artery, The Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts and United Way of the Capital Region early next week.
This piece of spontaneous public art explores the individual stories of eight students through the course of the video. The video hopes to encourage people to create art publicly and in unconventional spaces, like storefronts or conventionally functional spaces.
The video installation will be showing all night at The Artery 9535 Jasper Avenue, The Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts 9225 - 118 ave, and United Way of the Capital Region 15132 Stony Plain Road.
The video installation can be seen at the Nina Haggerty on Monday (August 29), the Nina Haggerty Centre and United Way on Tuesday (August 30), the United Way on Wednesday (31), and finally at the Artery Thursday and Friday (September 1–2)
It’s a busy time of year—we’re also working hard on a new newsletter packed with juicy info on Visualeyez, which is only a couple of weeks away, and the rest of our fall season. But we’ll have more on that soon.
Update: we’ve changed the dates! The Artery will now be showing the work on Thursday and Friday.
