Brainstorming
weekend sessions to prepare Quebec-Ontario Symposium
SYMPOSIUM ON NEW IMAGES
/ NEW FILM / NEW MEDIA
In October
of 2001, Ryerson University hosted a brainstorming weekend
with the help of sponsorship from the Bureau of Quebec
in Toronto. Many people took time from busy schedules,
even traveled considerable distances at personal expense,
to attend the meetings on the weekend of October 19th
– 20th.
The goal was to organize an arts symposium in 2003 which
would create a solid exchange platform between artists,
critical writers, theorists and arts institutions With
a common foundation in fine arts across Quebec and Ontario,
thirty-six participants from both provinces brought
their energy and ideas together to prepare a base for
the symposium.
The first conference/exchange
planned for February 2003 would be hosted by Ryerson
in cooperation with other arts organizations in Toronto.
It would feature new work in film, installation, new
media, photography and collaborative projects by Quebec
and Ontario artists, and would also be supported by
an exchange of ideas and a series of open meetings,
screenings, performances and discussions.
