What Moves Us

Marilou Lemmens and Richard Ibghy, Mission to Kumasi, video still, 2008

Western Front will be showing from June 5 to 27 a group exhibition of videos dealing with a very up-to-date matter: the transience of people and cultures. Through video collages and interviews five artists explore themes as different as immigration and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a very personal approach. Don’t miss the dim sum brunch with curator and artists on June 7 at noon.

Terrance Houle and Trevor Freeman, Portage, performed in Toronto

Marilyn Minter: Green Pink Caviar

Green Pink Caviar is Marilyn Minter’s first short movie. She has been playing on the edge of fine and commercial art for years and this video is part of Chewing Color, a video exhibition curated by her in Times Square. It explores the boundaries between disgust and beauty and I found it very, very sexy. Check the trailer here.
